I was feeling crafty yesterday and made this wreath for the front door. It is made of kitty prints that I made beds from:)

Hard to tell that the fabric has kitties unless they are very tiny - so I added a kitty bow:

Isn't it cute??:D

Want to make one? It is so easy that I am embarrassed:o You just get one of those straw wreaths from the craft store and cover it with saran wrap. Mine was a 12 inch wreath. Take scraps of fabric and cut them into 4 inch squares with pinking shears. Then, using a phillips screwdriver - just poke the squares in at the center - using the screwdriver. The plastic wrap and straw keeps them in. Keep poking until the straw is all covered. It takes about a yard to a yard and 1/2. This is really pretty in Christmas colors with metallic fabric poked here and there for some sparkle:D The whole project is finished in about an hour.

If any of you make one - will you post your pictures here?? I would love to see them. People will think you did some fancy sewing and never guess how easy this is!!! I think it would be great for an age like Brownies, too:D
