and the Southern Living Christmas Magazine

Hey yall! Okay so I am sitting at the orthodontist waiting room with two of my teenage girls. And I pick up the above magazine because it has Christmas on it. I am obsessed with Christmas, I will talk about it all the time at any time, completely random to the common observer... Anyway I love several ideas in the magazine,  so to my teenage daughters mortification I asked the receptionist: "Do yall throw these out?" In which she replied: "Yes, actually that one is old [it was already February]...Why do you want it?" Well I said: "Yes that would be great, thanks" ...so I didn't steal it but I did get it from the orthodontist office lobby.  Sometimes life is that sweet... you get a free amazing magazine and you get a chance to embarrass your teenagers.

Okay back to the wreath. So I had planned on working on the wreath and documenting exactly how I made each part of the wreath BUT the kids are all home due to the Winter Storms [two of them...will blog those later] so the girls helped with the wreath and  I didn't get as many pictures. But clicking on the link above will show you how to make cover the hearts. Yall we had tons of fun....so any 'craft' that gets a mom laughing with three teens and a duchess is an outstanding project.

Supplies:

Grapevine Wreath [magazine suggests Styrofoam but I chose cheaper], hot glue gun, moss to cover wreath, various ribbons...varying in length, width, colors, etc. also, wooden hearts different sizes, different craft/scrap-booking papers, Modge Podge, crystal glitter, sponge brushes and a pencil.

The girls traced the hearts onto the paper, we Modge Podged the paper to the wooden hearts then applied Modge Podge on top then dipped them in glitter. While the hearts were drying we tied the larger ribbons to the side back of the grapevine wreath. Make sure to mix it up. And then we glued the moss to the front of the wreath. Next you randomly glue the dried and finished hearts on top of the moss. 

What do yall think?
