Submit a photo of your completed project below.

The result :

 

The wreath i made is 98% made of recycled material

material's i used are 

• 1 ACU top 
• 1 ACU pant
• 2 wire hangers 
• 1 old red t shirt 
• 1 old blue t shirt 
• 1 old white t shirt 
• a americana heart and star i found at goodwill 
• 3 new buttons 
• 6 feet of 20 gauge wire 
• lipstick red folk art paint 
• vintage white folk art paint 

to start making my wreath i bent the two hangers in a circle 

i had hubby cut the top of the hangers off for me 

then use 20 gauge wire an wired them together 

making a hook at the top of the smaller one 

so i have something to attach the heart to 

then i made a huge pile of shredded ACU material 

then i just tied them on the wire hanger circles 

then i made flowers out of the old t shirts 

 then i pulled apart the heart and sanded it and re painted it 

then sanded it to age it a little again 

then hot glued some buttons onto the blue star 

this is the result 

then i twisted together 4 pieces  of 20 gauge wire 

and made the hanger for the heart 

then i attached the flowers to the wreath by hand sewing them on!
then i attached the heart to the loop of wire hanger with a heavy duty stapler
 

TFL... hugs Kimmie 

some one squirreled and told me its your birthday!!!!

I just love how this card turned out!!!

One of my dearest friends asked me to make her 

a card with a squirrel on the 

the front so this is what i came up with!

I used tons of wild orchid craft flowers.

and the paper is from dcwv and my minds eye. 

the image is a digital  motivet stamp and

colored with my spectrum noir and copics.

the sentiment i came up with and printed it out and turned into ribbons.

and i used some lace ribbon and a paper doilies to tie it all together

the inside of the card! 

thanks for looking hugs Kimmie
