Go Seahawks!

The last couple of football seasons have been really exciting for us Seahawks fans.

 

 We're making history this week when we win the Superbowl. (yes I said when we win) The entire state has come together to support the team. That is what I love most about the Seahawks, that it bring so many people together. I love the 12th Man!

To show my support (on a really small budget) I made a "Go Seahawks" wreath for my front door.

I only used materials I had around the house. I made the wreath form from a pool noodle (I'm not sure if that is the official name for the tube like floating toys the kids use in the pool).

I cut strips of blue and green paper.

After assembling the wreath I cut "V"s into the paper strips and added my letter embellishments.

It turned out pretty good and I've already had some compliments from some door-to-door visitors.

I got the idea from this UK blog - Ain't She Crafty.

 All I have left to say is... GO HAWKS!

Chicken Wire Wreath

Good morning! I'm excited to share my next project with you. I was inspired by One Tough Mother's Pinwheel wreath.

So on Sunday I gathered all the supplies I needed to make one of my own.

I recently purchased a roll of chicken wire and had seen a wreath made from chicken wire at a vintage fair I attended in Kirkland a couple weeks ago. So I decided to start with making a wreath shape from chicken wire. Since my chicken wire isn't naturally old, distressed or rusted I decided to spray paint it with some Oil Rubbed Bronze.

While the paint was drying I found a couple sheets of old piano music. I try to always have some on hand. I made a few pinwheels in a couple different sizes. I wrapped the chicken wire wreath is decorative floral wire, added my pinwheels and hung my wreath.

 

 

I really think it turned out great. Let me know what you think.

XOXO
