Wreath Party!

I have discovered a new love for making burlap wreaths!  I know, I know... me, like a craft, that includes burlap?!?!?!  NEVER!  Anyways... I have made a few wreaths that I posted pictures of on Facebook and Instagram and the reviews were wonderful!

I made these wreaths after I decided to have the party, and I used them as "practice"!  My plan worked well, because I had a pretty clean system on making the second with what I did wrong on the first.  I have never taught a craft before, so this was interesting for me!  Everyone crafts at a different speed, and I had to slow myself down, and actually show people how to do it.  We also celebrated Kristen, one of my fabulous guests, because she celebrated her 30th birthday the night before!  So, I decorated with a few party items!

I chose to hang the birthday banner on 2 spare slats I had from a bed we no longer use!

I didn't want random holes in the wall, and this worked well!

I saw the idea for the name plates on Pinterest, and I loved it!

They are tile caps from Home Depot which cost $0.77 each!  I can wipe them off and 

use them for food labels at parties, name tags, anything!

Everyone was in party mode and ready to make a wreath!

Everyone was hard at work!  Manipulating burlap in these wire frames is a learned trick!

They all did so well, and I was very impressed :).

We had a great time chatting and laughing too!  It's what ladies do best, right?!?!

The ladies all left with beautiful burlap wreaths!  No 2 were the same, and I loved them all!

Thank you all for coming!  I can't wait until the next craft night, which Jessie and I are already planning!

Jessie posted a picture of her wreath on her door today, and it looks GREAT!!!
