These are pretty easy projects, so this post with be short and sweet. First off, the fall project. I have always like cornucopias. They look cool, and who doesn't like to say it!? So, I bought all the pieces at Hobby Lobby. The cornucopia, itself, was very loosely woven, so I hot glued a piece of burlap inside to hide all the stems. Now you can't even tell that it's holy. All the other pieces are just swags. TO get them to stay where I wanted them I used Floral foam. My dear niece Phynix helped me put all the pieces in. Here is the finished product....
The other project...
I wanted to make a peacock feather wreath. For a "spring/summer time" wreath. I tried to make it with black boa's. That didn't work.. The feathers kept coming out and made a pretty big mess. :( I also wanted the feathers to look a bit nicer than a child's feather boa. I gave up and used the wreath form (Grapevine wreath) for a Halloween wreath. (To be posted in due course)
Over the weekend I was in Joann's Fabric with my mom and aunt. I came across the perfect black feather wreath. ON SALE no less! It was perfect for my peacock wreath. I added the peacock eyes and the little green feathers.
Here is what it looked like at first...
Here's the finished product...
Love love love it! I can't wait to hang this one up. I have many projects in the works, at the moment. So expect more posts such as this one. :)
