well, christmas is over...so the door looked a little bare. i made a new wreath. i took a styrofoam round and wrapped it with twine....securing it with e5000 every little bit. i then took a few long scraps of felt and ran a long straight stitch along the bottom of the felt. i pulled the thread tight and it gathered into a little ruffle. taking one side and matching it to the other, i stitched the sides together to make a flower. a couple of leaves out of green felt, and we were ready to attach. i used straight pins with teeny tiny heads to pop those right into the styrofoam. i bought a wooden w, painted it white, and put it on with a zip tie....the only way i could think to secure it without losing it in the sun and wind.
no pictures of the process, since i was working fast while little guy was napping, (although he did help in the painting process--behr light incense) but here's the finished look!

| you can see a little silver dot....a pin head. i like the rough look of the flowers...not too finished. |

| the zip tie... |

| there is green wire hiding behind this little strip of felt--the wreath is actually hanging from the wire |
