The Christmas Wreath, Free Wreath Tutorial, Why I Love Pink, and 23 days until Christmas!!

Of course, it had to be pink!  This has been the year of the pink!  This is my Christmas wreath, and it hangs on the front door welcoming our guests for the holidays.

This particular wreath took me about ten minutes to make.  Here's how I did it.

Tutorial:  I bought a preformed wire wreath that had silver bits of tinsel hanging off the wires.  These helped to secure the different parts of the wreath.

I used about 12 yards of ribbon to wrap the wreath.  I had to make two cuts in the ribbon because I didn't cut enough the first time.  I secured the ribbon on to the base with the tinsel thingies on the base.

I added flowers and picks and secured them with the tinsel thingies on the wreath.  I pulled some of the thingies out to add a bit of glitter to the wreath. 

And it was done. 

Notice how it matches my hair?

I'm really Not a Holiday Bead Maker Person

I don't know why,

I just have a few holiday beads in my Etsy store.

Right now,

only a few could 

remotely be considered 

holiday.

For example,

I do have a 

Black Cat

The cat has orange eyes.

That could be considered Halloween, right?

Well, maybe. 

I also have some 

Orange Pumpkins

They're sort of Halloween or Thanksgiving.

Well, sort of, I guess.

Then there's the 

Pine Cone.

That's sort of Christmas,

Well, maybe, sort of, I guess.

How about the 

Penguin.

That's Christmas,

sort of, I guess.

This might explain why my kids get some of their presents wrapped in 

Target bags.

Or why the few decorations I put up at Christmas,

are still up from last year.

I wish I were more of a holiday person.

How do you feel about the holidays?

Are you a holiday person?

I'd love to hear!
