Behold, one of my Christmas-y activities!!
This is my burlap Christmas wreath!
The bits and pieces.
Wire hangers-my wonderful parents own their own business (my dad is a cobbler and my mom is a tailor-Post about our "shop" coming soon.) We use lots of wire hangers at the shop so I grabbed a handful from there.
Ribbons-I rummaged in the crafty-cabinet and I found all of these.
Burlap bags-You may find burlap at a craft store (I'm not sure of the price) or if you are in the Milwaukee area you can go to the Humbolt Alterra (remember them from this post-the Humbolt location is their roast-house) and get them for free! What?! Yup! Free. Just walk up the counter and ask the barista taking orders, they'll even ask you how many. :)
First, I unravelled the hangers and I wrapped them around in a little wreath. (It looks more like a crown of thorns at this point. Wrong holiday.) I used a needle-nose pliers to separate the parts--you need to protect you little digits, you know.
I cut the burlap into little strips and weaved it through the wire, like so.
I wrapped ribbon around the guy and attached a bow...
and Voila!
Make one and show me, yes?
