Valentines Day Felt Rose Heart Wreath

Growing-up Valentines Day has always been one of my favorite holidays, I think because my Father loved it so.  He always made such a big deal over all of us, candy and roses for my sister and I, candy and fishing gear for my brother, and of course something romantic for my mother.

It seems like this past year I've been way behind in holiday decor and crafts, but this time I'm actually ahead of the game and have already created 3 Valentines Day craft tutorials!

During yet another scouting trip to the Dollar Tree I found this fun and festive red foil fringe heart wreath!  For only a dollar it's fairly large at 14" across at it's widest and pretty well made.  I also purchased a bouquet of white roses because it included two white glitter puffy hearts, I'll a use for the roses in another tutorial I'm sure.

I decided to adorn this fun wreath with those easy felt roses!  I bought several colors of felt on sale at Hobby Lobby, and in the bridal isle I found pearl stamens for the centers.

So basically the supplies you need are:
Wreath
Felt
Stamens
Glue - I used E-6000
Puffy heart
Ribbon
Cut out felt circles and then cut those into a spiral.  Dab a little bit of the glue onto the stamen and start wrapping your felt around creating your rose.  Create several sizes.

Once all your roses are done start by gluing down your puffy glittered heart and then start gluing down your roses.  See super easy!

After your wreath is all dry and the roses are good an secure tie a lovely ribbon to the top and there you have your Valentines Day Heart Wreath!

Happy Valentines Day and Happy Crafting !

Felt Rose Christmas Tree Ornament

Ok, here is one last frugal (cheap) Christmas craft for this year!  This time I branched out and found my inspiration and supplies in the $1.00 section of Michaels. 

Supplies:
Christmas tree shapes $1.00 for ring of 5
         cardboard shapes and measure 6"
         tall.
Striped contact paper $1.00
Felt - already had on hand, but only cost
         29. for each sheet
Glitter
Glue
Ribbon



This ornament is so easy and quick, a perfect rainy day holiday craft project with your kiddos.  First step, remove Christmas trees from ring, then remove enough of the back off the contact paper to cover your tree shape, both back and front.
Now that super duper easy step is done it's time to decorate.  I decided to cut scalloped shaped strips of the bright green felt and glued down on the tree. 
Then I started creating my three little felt roses, by first cutting felt circles, which you then cut into spirals.  Next you simply start rolling the spirals into a rose shape.  Now cut little leaf shapes.  Attach your roses and leaves to your little trees and once they are nice and dry start applying glue for your glitter!

Happy Holidays and Happy Crafting!
