Another Wreath

Where have I been, you ask? Working! Enjoying being back in the working world. I absolutely love my job. I'm rotating days and nights which took a little getting used to but I think I finally have a good plan in place for when I'm swapping back and forth so that I don't disrupt my sleep too much! I work 3 12 hour shifts a week, which gives me some extra time to do things like this....
My Halloween wreath :)

I absolutely love it. I got the idea here! So, I started with these fabrics and cut them into strips...


Then I double knotted all of the strips around the wreath frame....


Added a bow :)  My new favorite thing to make... 


Painted the letters....



Used a hot glue gun to attach the letters, and TA DA.....

I LOVE it.  There were a few things I would've done differently....I would've chosen a bigger variety of colors for my fabric.  After trips to 3 different stores though, I gave up and settled on these.  I also think I would've cut my strips a little longer so it would've looked a little fuller (I did about 6 inches long).  But, overall I'm very happy with it and think it looks super cute! 

Onto my next project....
