Wreath Night: Chevron & Pom Pom

I'm not going to lie, I've considered wreaths with just a thin layer wrapped around wreath forms to be a bit wimpy and weird looking. I prefer the big, poofy ones. But, I gave these two a try with the help of my mom. My friend Danielle had a wreath making night so I joined in. Can't go wrong with patriotic chevron.

And here's my pom pom one with directions found here. I attached the bow with a glue gun. Now I wish I would have just pinned it so it was interchangeable. Plus i glued it a little too high for my liking. Oh well.  Still, it's one more wreath than I had before!

Some creations I made....
I didn't take pictures of all projects but I like putting these all together to see that I have been able to take some time for myself and craft/sew on occasion.

Burlap Circle Wreath

used this tutorial from little birdie secrets

Car Seat Canopy. Bought this fabric 2 years ago. Finally made it. Might at bows later.

Used this tutorial on the Ribbon Retreat

Got this Love Plaque idea from here which was inspired from Pottery Barn.

 Materials were easy:

bead board from Home Depot, big craft letters, white paint, sand paper & hot glue.

Just recovered my sewing table stool. I still count it as a project I've made. Been wanting to make it cute for awhile.
