Polka Dot tutorial

Nicole and I got inspired by Creation Corner and created some amazing crafts for the baby shower we put together for Kristine.


Nicole and I are big fans of peppy and cheep - so we found fabric at Walmart and you can also use a coupon at your favorite craft store to get the foam wreath. The polka dots are made out of nice thick scrapbook paper. It is important to note that this wreath is really built for indoor use.

Here is a Polka Dot wreath that we made as decor (and turned it into a gift)




1. Get a foam wreath at your favorite craft store.
2. Get some scrap fabric of your choosing.
3. Cut the end of the fabric and tear the fabric into strips.
4. Wrap the wreath with the fabric. (we chose to use two alternating fabrics.
5. Hot glue the fabric to the wreath.












In the mean time get out some scissors (or in my case the Cricut) - you might also want a cat to come and hang out with you. Meg loves to craft. And cut out lots of circles out.






Then what you do is glue the circle to the wreath. We chose to make it 3D. And did that by using our old school elementary knowledge of folding paper to make pop-ups.






Here is a side view.








Here is the wreath half way done. As you can see you can place the dots all over the place.








Here it is all done! We took a piece of fabric and made a loop to glue to the back in order to hang it up. It went over very well. And it took no time to make.

happy little flowers


Meg trying to get in on the fun!

daffodils have to be the happiest flowers on the planet.





The garden is getting ready to be in full bloom. The tulip bulbs that i planted a few months back are coming up out of the ground.



i'm excited to see how they will bloom. i really want to get a chair for the front porch so that i can sit and enjoy my flowers. Here is the real question. do you let your flowers enjoy the sun out in the wild or do you pick a few so you can enjoy them in the house?

I have a tendency to let them hang out in the yard. because after a long day at work it's nice to see their smiling faces as i drive up to the house.

i can't wait to see which ones will bloom next!
