AUTUMN WREATHS

Some of the Craft Party Girls were able to get together on Sunday to make some autumn wreaths. We never made it to the Poconos for our Craft Party Weekend Getaway since my son broke his finger and had to have surgery to pin a bone chip to the larger bone. By Sunday he was feeling fine so the party girls quickly decided that we wouldn't let our supplies go to waste and had a mini crafting session.

Sherrie created a very earthy brown and grape colored grapevine wreath. The ribbon had gold accents to give it a tiny bit of sparkle.

Patti needed a lighter colored wreath to hang on her dark front door so she used bleached twigs and orange and yellow berries. She finished it off with a striped brown bow tied at 5:30 on the circle. ; )

Crystal, inspired by a wreath she saw hanging on a door at The Innkeepers Kitchen, tucked in some cut pampas grass plumes, wheat buds, yellow berries and tiny red leaves to follow the flow of the twigs.

I made this woodcut wreath prior to the party since it is a much longer process. A hay wreath form is the base. I pruned my trees and then cut the branches into 1 inch pieces that I hot glued onto the hay wreath. The berries are secured at the top and a few skeleton leaves are added for color. This was a wreath I saw online in a photograph and just had to recreate!

As always, we had a decadent feta cheese dip, some salted edamame and california rolls for snacks. You can't craft without a little nourishment! Party On, Girls.
