Valentines Day Project

I have decided that now that I have the benefit of being a SAHM that I would start doing a lot of the things that I always wanted to do when I was working, but never had the time.  Which really translates into finding my inner crafty self that has been suppressed for the last ten years or so.

In my crafting efforts I have been making more decorations for holidays.  With Valentines Day coming up I decided I needed a few decorations for it in my house.  (It is a special day for us since it is the day that we met, gag a little I know, but still).  So, I went where it only made sense to go ... Pinterest.  There I found this wreath idea and decided I needed one.  Warning, it took me about six hours, but I did get it done in one day.

So I bought my felt (1yd), wreath form, and straight pins and set to work.  For starters I cut a whole bunch of 3" circles.  I used a cup to mark the first one and the used that one for the rest.  I cut these two big stacks and decided to see how far they would get me.

Then to get started, I had my cheerleader, supplies, and a snack.

Super easy!  Just fold the circles into quarters, stick a pin in the base, and stick it into the wreath form.

This is how far those two stacks got me.  I ended up cutting us almost all of the rest of the felt.

A piece of ribbon looped and pinned to the back (I used lots of pins) and done!!

I like it, then again I like most fun fluffy things that are bright pink!
