before this weekend, i hadn't crafted in some time.
on friday, i was suddenly struck with craft fever. i had to make something immediately.
i had been eyeing the beautiful yarn wreaths that have been popping up all over etsy,
and i decided it was the perfect time to finally try my hand at one.
and i have to say, i was rather happy with the results.
i had never made felt flowers before and i found this tutorial to be very helpful.
i hand-stitched the felt leaves to add a little detail.
i have now discovered how much fun felt is to craft with!
it was so much fun to make - way easier than it may appear - and very gratifying.
plus there are just so many possibilities for colors, arrangements, embellishments, etc.
i'm thinking i will make one for every season.
i'm also thinking they would make fantastic gifts!
did you do any crafting this weekend?

I'm going to try to make those flowers tonight to add to the yarn wreaths I made last year!
I've had my eye on these FOREVER on etsy, but just can't bear to spend that much money on a wreath! I think yours turned out amazing, and you're right, they would make fab gifts! I think I may just try to tackle this one soon - and maybe make one for my mum for christmas.
