why yes,

i did make the wreath shown in this picture and my previous post. i may have stayed up until 2 am a few nights trying to get them done in time, and i may have burned blisters on half my fingers, but i love how they turned out. (especially the yellow one) i found instructions for making the roses here and decided to make wreaths instead of the round balls. super fun and cheap project.

Sweet! I made one of those, too. Mine is pink but now I want the yellow one... Do I want to get burned that many more times?

ok. i don't know WHY i ever decided to make those freaking balls! ......but i did. now i don't even want to hang them up in my house because of how much time they took. my flowers are way small, so it took hours upon hours... i made 3. now i hate them.

phew! sorry for all the complaining! your wreath is darling!! i love the yellow, so fun. you are so crafty :)

Oh McKell, that's kind of funny :) I know what you mean Ashley, I'm not sure if I really want to make one for myself now.

I think Holly was going to make the balls to hang in her baby's room. The styrofoam balls were more money than she wanted to pay. But the balls and the wreath are very cute. I LOVE the yellow that you chose, with the ribbon, too.

I knew you must have made that darling wreath! You are so amazing. I love the yellow, so bright and happy!

p.s. I use bbq skewers instead of my fingers to help me with hot glue...I've been burned too many times!

I love it! Yours turned out so cute. I made one for me a while ago and my fingertips were so sore. I am making one right now for my sister and it is much better this time. I haven't decided if that is because I am better at making them or because my fingertips are still numb from last time... :)
