Getting ready for Christmas

Hi everyone hope that you are all well and happy !

As its now only a few short weeks until Christmas i thought that i would share with you a wreath that i have created using material on a polystyrene base .

I cut out 1" square pieces of the material and gently poked each one into the base using a small embossing tool and added polystyrene glue here and there on the base before poking in the material squares .

 

And here it is !

 

 

I have been making these for a year or so now and as its nearing Christmas ( YAY ) and with some encouragement from hubby ive added this one to my blog to show you all and would apreciate your views on it !

I have just finished a gorgeous red and gold one and will add a picture of it tomorrow  . the wonderful thing about making these wreaths is that they can be done in any colour using any materials and for any time of year .

as always i apreciate all your support and comments .

Thanks for stopping by

HAPPY CRAFTING !
