DIY Baby Diaper Wreath for Baby Showers

It's seems like everybody I know is having a baby.

I've got 5 baby showers coming up.  Seriously!

I love to DIY so I started playing with the baby shower wreath idea.

It turned out to be pretty simple.  

I purchased a large pack of newborn diapers

2 wire wreath forms from Joann's

Ribbon: Blue and Pink

All you do is open the diaper, slip it over the wire form and tie it with a piece of ribbon.

That's it.  

Purchase whatever small baby items you like and tie them on with ribbons.

I didn't use hot glue because I wanted to be able to use the diapers and hot glue 

would melt the plastic covers on the diapers.

For baby George I loved the little laced tennis shoes for the little guy.

 I decorated with teething rings, rattles, stuffed puppy, socks, bib.

Just decorate as much or as little as you think looks good.

For baby Clara I added socks, rattles, teething rings, pacifiers, clip on baby hair bows

and this adorable little lamb that rattles.

Hope you like my wreaths,

Fall Door Wreath DIY

I've finally started decorating my front porch for Fall.

I love creating my own wreaths each year.  

This year I just fell in love with all the gorgeous

 little pumpkins available everywhere. 

 So my theme was born.

I picked my pumpkins and gourds up at HomeGoods.

The wreaths were ones that I had stashed 

from a sale at Joann's for 99 cents

I found some beautiful sunflowers and pinecones 

at Joann's too.

I always keep a few grapevine wreaths in my 

stash so that I'm ready when the 

creative mood hits me.  They get very 

cheap at the end of summer so I stock up.

Add a little hot glue and my wreath starts taking shape.

My finished DIY Wreath.

I love it.

These towels were on sale so I picked up a 

couple for chair pillows.

10 minutes on the sewing machine and I had pillows.

So simple.  Just fold your towel in half and sew 

both sides first.  Then add your filling;

I used and old bed pillow and took out the 

stuffing and reused it.  Then sew up the bottom

and you have a chair pillow.  Sew simple.

Enjoy the season.  Be creative.

Easter Wreath DIY

I am so far behind this Easter.  

I finally got my door wreath made today.  

Door Wreath

Hello Friends

I've been wanting to create a new spring/summer door wreath lately.

I like to make one every spring but I'm running late this year.

Anyway today I decided to go for it.

So I went outside for some inspiration. 

I love all the signs of summer, the green leaves, the budding trees, the smell of the air, everything. 

So during my inspirational walk I found this bush of, well basically, weeds. 

They were very green and pretty weeds. 

So I decided that this is what I would use for my wreath. 

I gathered some branches, some of the weed branches, twigs, grass, basic outdoor items.

 I bent the branches, tied them together with grass, you know, wilderness style.

I had Jacob helping me pick up twigs and we had a great time. 

Now let me unveil my masterpiece and you can tell me what you think.

Before

After

Well as you might have guessed I didn't get as inspired outside as I would have liked. 

So my next brilliant idea was to search Pinterest. 

I found some awesome spring/summer wreaths that I pinned for inspiration. 

 I've got more on my Pinterest page if you want to take a look at those too.

Below are some ideas of wreaths that I thought I'd share with you just in case

anyone else out there is having the same creative issues as me currently.

Inspiration by Pinterest.

Yeah, these are a little better than my own creation, but hey I tried. LOL

Till next time, go create something.
