I own a small blue glue gun.
It was lost for a long time. Like, years.
In July or so, I decided it was time to get a new one, so that I could do a few crafty projects for my kids.
The next day -- I kid you not -- I found the old one. In a place that I was so sure I'd looked before. Go figure. I took the new one back to Target.
Armed with a glue gun and an addiction to pinterest, plus a desire to scrapbook but no time to work on a project that large, I've been hankering for little crafty projects to complete in an afternoon. Finally, a few weeks ago, my gaze happened to rest upon the Lenten-themed wreath still hanging on the closet door in my entryway. Definitely time for a seasonal update!
A quick trip to Hobby Lobby confirmed my desire to "DIY" this wreath. Did you know fake floral wreaths can cost $100?! I did not. For about $15, I picked up a straw wreath, one small bunch of fake fall flowers, a cardboard letter G (for my last name), and a mini can of brown spray paint. Hubby painted the letter for me, and I spent about 20 minutes snipping the flowers off their stems, arranging everything on the wreath, and hot-gluing it all down.
Voila! My very own fall wreath! I must say, I'm quite pleased with myself. It's a little lopsided, it looks like the big flower on the left might fall off at any moment, and I think I covered up the letter a little too much, but it was cheap and it gave me a sense of accomplishment. I'll take it.
