Decorating for Easter and spring is such a treat because the colors of the season range from sweet pastels to bright and cheerful. One fun and crafty way to bring your favorite palette into your home is to make a wreath (and you know how much I love making wreaths!). Traditionally, wreaths are hung on outside doors to add a welcoming touch, but they are just as beautiful when displayed inside. Wreaths can be hung just about anywhere: above your fireplace, on a wall that needs some color, or even ... Read More

Pom Pom Trim Flower Wreath
This post contains sponsored content and first appeared on the Expo International Blog. I'm pretty over our rental right now. It's furnished, but not my style at all and super uncomfortable. I'm limited on how I can decorate it and since this is (long term) temporary, I'm finding that I need to be extra creative in keeping the flat cheerful. With spring peeking around the corner, I wanted a bright wreath so I turned to one of my all-time favorite craft supplies to help me out. Pom pom trim is ... Read More
Spring Flower Wreath
I love being pushed to craft with new to me materials. I'll be honest with you--I've never been a big fan of burlap and have barely used it in my crafting and decorating. When it was announced that the supply for the Create with Cricut challenge in March was burlap, I cringed a little inside. But, once I figured out how to fit burlap into my style, I can see why people are drawn to it. The burlap gives a lovely extra layer of texture to my Spring Flower Wreath and I'm really happy with how it ... Read More
Pom Pom Wrapped Heart Wreath
"Mom! Can you make me a pink heart for show and tell?? It's my favorite color AND my favorite shape!" I can honestly say that this was one of the very few times that I was able to put together one of my daughters' last minute requests easily. A quick search of my craft room found us exactly what we needed to put together Alice's Pom Pom Wrapped Heart Wreath for favorites day in kindergarten. It was easy, took just a few minutes, and will be a cute addition to our Valentine's Day ... Read More
Holiday Deer Head Wreath
I have a strange love of wrapping paper. Sometimes I buy some that I *need* and never use it because it's just too awesome to use on gifts and then throw away. As I've been both trying to use up supplies that are cluttering up my craft room and continue to decorate the house for the holidays, I realized that I could work on them both at the same time by using some fun wrapping paper for a holiday craft. I've been really into plaid lately and was holding onto this paper because, well, I seem to ... Read More
No-Sew Poinsettia Wreath
I love poinsettias, but plants don't last long in my house. They're such a part of Christmas in my head, though, that I can't pass up poinsettia decor. With a toddler who pulls and eats every living plant around her, I decided my best bet for poinsettias this year would be to make my own, so I created this quick No-Sew Poinsettia Wreath. To make this, you will need: wreath form Cherry Pop and Pine Oly*Fun scissors straight pins red yarn pom poms To start, I cut my ... Read More
