LETS MAKE A WREATH

Oh how the week seems to go by so quickly,another show-n-tell weekend has arrived hosted by http://kellishouse.blogspot.com/ being busy with life its self, getting ready for shows, orders & now blogging lol, my "me" list seems to be getting longer you know , the list of things you say you're going to make "just for me" one of these days, lol well after having this wreath on my site, sold one on eBay it went on my "me" list" so lets get all our supplies together & make a ladybug wreath, you will need flowers of your choice, & 3 ladybugs, no ladybugs? well you can email me for a printout of the ladybug pattern

starting with the left side, I used a small yellow, a Small round fuzzy yellow, greenery & blades of

grass & small daisy like white flowers

the same effect is used on the right side, just tucking here & there to your liking, I added a

sunflower to the middle of the bottom of the wreath using the same effect of the flowers as on

the sides

ladybugs are muslin based stuffed, painted barn red, when

dry paint on black dots , dry then sand & stain, with wire cutters snip off small pieces of thin

black wire,I used floral wire,curl around to make antennas, add a touch of glue & insert through

head, wire is inserted on the bottom of the ladybug's & wired to the wreath

now hang "your" wreath & stand back & look at "your" wreath lol aren't you proud now on the

the next "me" thing on the list, we hope you enjoyed making your ladybug wreath
