Cupcake Liner Wreath

Ok, so I joined the many who have been inspired by  ......I can't remember who did the cupcake liner heart wreath. I am so sorry and when I find you I will post it. Anyway, I looked everywhere for a heart shaped wreath but kept hitting that brick wall. SO, I made my own. I bought a rectangled foam block and made my own heart shape. I was going to cut out the middle but the paper version looked stupid so I made it solid.

I learned how to make flowers from coffee filters, online, so that was the method I used here.

I had bought 6 packages of valentine cupcake liners at WalMart but learned I should have bought 7. I had a bag full of these flowers and got everything ready to glue. I realized I had to glue fabric onto the foam so the hot glue wouldn't melt the foam. AAAGGGHHH!!!

I also rigged a wire hanger that works really well.

Then came the fun part...GLUEING!!!
It takes A LOT of glue sticks, and the drips were all over. Anyway I was almost done when I ran out of flowers. THREE SHORT! NNNNNNNNOOOOOOO!!!!!. I got so mad and it was late so that I wasn't up to going to Wal Mart to try to find just ONE more package, I forgot to take pictures of another monkey rigged job. I found in my stash, an empty ribbon spool, a white and a red silk flower, so I glued the spool down the lift the flower up a little. Then I added the flowers. It still didn't look right so I scrounged and found some white tulle, then I made a bow and glued it under the petals. I added a pearl bead to the flower center and tada!!! I really LOVE it but couldn't put it on my front door to show my neighbors my skills. IT'S TOO FAT!!! So I have it hanging on the inside of my front door.

Not too bad for a dingbat that didn't make a plan first. I usually jump in and spend my time redoing till I get it right. Oh well. Such is my life.

I am in love...

Flower Bracelet

Ok, thanks to Linda, of  http://diaryofacraftaholic.blogspot.com and her zipper flower bracelet, I was so inspired, so I came up with some of my own and am putting them in my Etsy shop here

http://www.etsy.com/shop/smellikelli. I still have a bunch more to put on and some to make. These are so fun to make and fun to wear. To any mom of a boy, what a fun corsage to give a girl, it will definitely last longer. I also need to put more of my flower brooch/hair clip in my Etsy shop too. Now for an interesting experiment on my part. I'm curious to see how many bloggers read my blog will notice this post and so I thought I would have a giveaway. I will be giving away a flower brooch/hair clip, you can choose one of the three here...

If you become a follower, put your email that I can reach you at, if you post it on your blog tell me with a link to your blog so I can see, as well as get to read your blog, and then just for commenting on this put your email so I can reach you. Good luck and I hope someone reads me. Thanx.
These three flower brooch/hair clip have a hair clip as well as a pin back, on the back, so you can wear them either way. I will post better pics tomorrow but for now here are the three. They have a vintage earring in the center and have 4 layers of different fabric. I have so much fun wearing these.
