Last month, before Andrew came home to Pennsylvania for his first block leave, I wanted to do something different but fun for when he got back. Shannon saw a fun wreath handmade by one of her cousins online, so she and I and Mom Dolan decided to take a stab at it.
We started with what seemed like hundreds of 3 x 3 inch felt squares in red, white and blue.
Then we marked off our foam ring to make sure we didn't get too carried away with a certain color
This part took a little trial and error. First we tried putting pins in the middle of the squares, but then they didnt stay up.
So we folded them into triangles and pinned them from the side
It worked like a charm!
In just over an hour, we had our wreath!
Shannon added stars, and then it was ready to hang on the front door, just in time to welcome our favorite soldier home, sweet home!
Cute! I have no crafty skills, but I'd love one of these. I might take a stab at it.*
