Not Exactly

You those times when you have the bug to make something....but you really don't know what. I had that happen a few days ago. So I wandered into the magic the messy craft room and started to look around. What I came up with was a linen tea towel and a foam craft wreath and an over abundance of fall ribbon. Wreath!! Ok...in my head there was a picture like this...
or this.....
or even this....
But, let's face it....my flower arranging skills are limited and I hate trips out in the 95* (plus 95% humidity!) heat.....so I tend to use the stuff I have on hand. I took the tea towel and cut off the edges and then tore it into strips. The foam wreath base is green and not so pretty...so I used the towel to cover the green.
I wrapped the strips around the wreath and fastened them with hot glue.
Then I hung it on the wall and took a picture. Ok...obvious...I know. Sorry.
Now for the ribbon. I got a bunch of ribbon for 75% off at Hobby Lobby last year and needed to use it. I cut something like 2 feet off of each spool and started wrapping it around the beautified wreath base.
And then I hung it....oh...you get it....It was missing something and the bows I was making didn't seem to fit. In my purge to get ready to move I must have rid myself of a lot of fabric as I couldn't find any fall fabric to make flowers. So I cut into some stray fall bunches I had lying around and hot glued them on the ribbon.
This isn't quite how it looked in my head...not exactly. It is different...I guess that is good. Still not what I expected. I guess that all can't be winners.
Here's hoping your crafting adventures prove more fruitful!
