Wreath Classes

I've had so many compliments on my yarn wreaths over the last few years that I decided it was finally time to actually have a class for people who wanted to make their own. And I figured the best class to start with would be the 4th of July wreath!

So here's one of my original wreaths:


I had so much interest in my class that I had to split it out over 2 weeks!! Yesterday was the first session and I had 7 people making wreaths! I didn't think to take pictures of everyone while they were making their wreaths but I did take a few after they were done. Next week I plan to take LOTS more pictures to capture the event. I'm planning on having 10-12 people there for the main event.

Here's my mom with her finished wreath:

Her friend Judith came along:

And Tara (Chris' girlfriend) did one too!

Basically, I spent the past few weeks getting the kits together. Cutting felt fabric into stars, rolling felt rosettes, hand sewing some stars with beads, rolling yarn into balls and just compiling everything. It's been a lot of work to get it all together but it's been fun and definitely something I want to do again for more classes :)
