teacher gifts!!!

Owen is super excited to give one to his teacher tomorrow!

Yarn Trees!

Made these out of wrapping paper stuffed with a little batting to make them stiff. Wrapped them with yarn and added some ornaments from the target $1 ornament bins and some handmade burlap flowers.

I put them in some decorative urns I had laying around unused and added a bow. I want to make a third in an olive green...guess i need to hit the $1 bins for another trio or ornaments.

good will $2 mirror...sticker and chipboard letters, a little sanding, some red and white spray paint...

wreath...

found these really cool laser cut frames at michaels...added some garland, yarn, and burlap.
I really enjoy making burlap flowers. super easy and even though the material is bulky and messy, it's rather forgiving when you hot glue it. I like!

i like the red better.  4 cans rustoleum 2x colonial red spray paint and some light sanding is all it took.
