Spring Archives - Yearning to Create

Made myself a springy little wreath the other day and it only took a few minutes – yay!

Dollar Store flowers, grapevine wreath and a glue gun is all I needed.

I cut my flowers into small stems and placed them around my wreath.

Let the gluing begin – and yes, I burned my fingers! But that doesn’t bother me much anymore since I learned the trick: touch your earlobe with your burning finger and the sting immediately disappears. Your earlobe absorbs the heat – it’s the neatest feeling! Tip: remove the hot glue from your fingers first or your fingers might get stuck to your ears!

There we have it – easy little light and springy wreath.

Wreaths are great!!! Check out my Pinterest board called Wreaths.

Having a craft hanging around that works for all seasons is a great plan!

I made this one at Shauna’s craft class and my daughter made the blue one. I stenciled some words onto mine, inspired by something similar I’d seen in a Country Sampler magazine a few years back.

You can get these wooden frames and insert pieces from Micheals.

Anyway, to make an all-season frame, I decided to attach my snowflake with velcro.

Then I chose a few other shapes to use for the rest of the year. The flower covers spring and summer. Simply attach a piece of velcro to each backside. I suggest doing the snowflake first as it’s the most awkward shape to fit.

I especially love it when it’s time to take out the snowflake and insert the flower! Oh happy day, the long winter is over!
