Hello Sweet Friends,
So how are things in your
world today??
Things are great in our world,
as we just just had a fun 5 days
with our daughter and son-in-
love in Charleston SC.
Will tell you about it on
Thursday. Also we think Fall
has finally arrived in Central
Florida in the early morning
and late evening, at least!! lol

Did this post before I left so
figured I would go ahead and
post it now, even tho it was
suppose to be part 2 of the
family room....
(that will come next Tuesday)
This is sort of a backwards
post..... lol
as it never occurred to me to
make it a post, until after I
finished making it and hung
it outdoors on our house. lol

But it was so easy....figured it
would just serve mostly as an
idea anyway!
First of all, I needed a new
wreath as my old one was in
dire need of a fresh look.

I started by pulling all the
old stuff off my willow wreath,
that I have used for many Falls
now, as she is still in good shape.

Was gonna go and buy some
flowers to do a new one, then
spotted a Fall floral swag I
haven't used indoors in a
number of years now, so had
a nice light bulb moment,
that worked out well.........

So all you need is a
Fall floral swag
Fall floral swag
(or any type of floral swag
depending on the season or
purpose) and some long
chenille pipe cleaners

chenille pipe cleaners
and ribbon.
I just attached the swag to
the wreath with the long pipe
cleaners in 3 different places.
Just run the pipe cleaner thru
the base of the swag and around
the wreath and twist it about 3-4
times to make sure it doesn't come
lose and then tuck in the end of
the pipe cleaners, so they don't
show. You might need more or less
Pipe Cleaners depending on your
swag and how secure you need
it to be.

Next make a bow that suits your
fancy and attach it, then hang
that baby up. Took about 5-10
mins. if that long.
I made mine with tails to cover
up some of the hot glue that was
on it before and it solved
the problem.

on how to make a bow, just
in case you have never
done one before.

Just FYI
If this is your first time to do a
bow I would recommend you
use ribbon that is the same on
both sides as it will save you
some time, aggravation and
ribbon. lol
and here is the finished product.
Thanks for stoppin by....
Happy wreath making......
Have a great day,
Hugs, Nellie
