easter fun!

Ever since Valentines Day I have been obsessed with different ways that I can make a wreath. I find it really relaxing to do these types of projects, plus it gives me something to do during the boys nap time.

  Materials Used
large foam wreath
7 various ribbon (hobby lobby and Michaels)
box of thin pins
small easter bunny (found mine at Michael's)
Scissors




Start with a foam wreath, I have only used white foam wreaths, but I am sure any color is fine.


I chose 7 different types of ribbon, and cut them to fit around the wreath


The back isn't as pretty, but no one will see this!


This is the front of the wreath, try to have a good mix of ribbon


Here I am placing the purple ribbon, I fasten one side...


and now I fasten the other side with a pin


all done on the back!


continue until all of the foam wreath is covered in ribbon, remember be creative!


I attached my small easter bunny friend, and some ribbon up to for the bow...

We are ready for Easter!

Valentines Day Crafts

It's hard for me to sit and do a craft with the boys. Xander gets really excited and usually ends up making messing everywhere. So I had some scraps of paper, sweet stickers and decided to let them go at it and cut and paste whatever they wanted on their card stock hearts that I bought on clearance like 2 years ago. Here are some pictures of their sweet little projects! Hope you enjoy them!

Taking all the ribbon out from my left over Wreath Project



Austin LOVED using these fun scissors!


Even Xander was trying to figure all of this out...


Austin's masterpiece :0)


Both of the masterpieces! They gave their "presents" to daddy who was in the other room! Something that I will keep and treasure forever! How I love my little men, they ARE the light of my life!
