Burlap Christmas Wreath

I've seen burlap coming up all over Pinterest for home decor stuff and I just love it. And I LOVE this wreath. I wanted to do a burlap/lace Fall wreath but I ran out of time to do that. This was such a fun, cheap project and I love how it turned out. I bought a moss/grass wreath for $5 and wrapped it twice with some burlap ribbon ($3.50). Then I added some white poinsettia flowers, pine cones, holly leaves, holly berries, and ribbon ($3) with lots and lots of hot glue. I couldn't wait until next week to hang it up so, yes, it's hanging on my door now before Thanksgiving :)

Bumble bee costume

Brandon chose to be a bumble bee for Halloween this year. My kids picked such easy costumes!! I bought a black shirt and black sweats for about $10. Also bought a pair of fairy wings, headband, and pipe cleaner at the dollar store. I had some yellow felt on hand and hand sewed strips to the black shirt. I spray painted the wings black, attached pipe cleaner to the headband and done!

Tinkerbell Skirt

Katy wanted to be Tinker Bell for Halloween. Yay! I found a green shirt for her to wear and made her a little skirt to go with it. I found a simple tutorial at Make It and Love it . I bought one yard of satin green fabric for about $2. The tutorial uses fabric that doesn't fray but my satin fabric wouldn't be doing that. I just sewed two pieces together and turned it right side out, made a casing for elastic and done! (Katy's waist was 22" so I made the width of the skirt 44" and 16" long since I would be folding over a casing.)
