I love making wreaths! They're such a versatile and quick craft to make, that I usually end up making several a year. This past fall, I just re-used our wreath from last year, so I was itching to whip up a Christmas themed wreath this weekend.
This was a pretty cheap craft to make. Just a little tape and wrapping paper, plus a few old boxes and I was finished. I used a $1 grapevine wreath as my base, with white strips of felt glued on. Then I just arranged the wrapped boxes and glued those into place too. The purple "J" box was leftover from a set of note cards we were gifted a few years ago. I added it because I like how it gives a nod to our last name with a monogram ;)
Maverick however was much more cooperative. He has ulterior motives....
(ADOPT HIM!!!) He's the best foster dog, but we're really hoping he finds his furever home before Christmas.
Isn't he just the cutest in those little antlers!?

I also had a little fun messing around with the dogs today. Can't you tell Bear and Scooter were so into my idea??

Have you bought/cut a Christmas tree yet? Our stockings are hung, but we haven't gotten our tree just yet...

You are so fantastic for being a fur baby foster! I admire you so much for being able to do it. I've never tried because I'm afraid I'd end up trying to keep them all! Your little Scooter is so stinkin' cute in that getup!
ReplyDeleteLindsay you are too sweet! It is very hard to let them go (some more than others lol) but we always get attached. Luckily I'm trying not to become the crazy dog lady and that's keeping me in perspective for now. Oh, and the fact that we're moving in 5 months, and another pet would be a BAD idea for us.
DeleteThanks for the compliment on Scooter, he'd have to agree with you! He knows he's the cutest!
Love this idea! Especially with the J-what a creative way to add that in! Also, adorable dogs :)
