Give a girl a glue gun…

It’s late on a Saturday night here in Indiana, but that just means I actually have a minute to myself. Β And so I’m sharing that minute with you all. Β I decided this week to try to do a few things that were just for fun craft/sewing wise.

Sometimes with all of the deadlines and crazy fabric swaps I sign up for, I get a little caught up in the details of maintaining my sewing existence. Β Don’t get me wrong. Β I love it. Β But sometimes a girl just needs to break out the felt and a glue gun and go to town.

So I made this.

I’m not quite sure what they are called actually….a swag? Β a wreath? Β Who knows?! Β I just know it’s pretty and I had fun making it. Β And I only burned myself once with the hot glue gun, so bonus points there. Β I use the cheapy cheap felt, a few bucks for the wooden “frame”/wreath/whatever and one single floral pick (it’s amazing how far just one of those goes when you pull it all apart!)

I meant to make a fall decoration for the house. Β It is after all, fall. Β But the grey, silver and cream colors were what I continued to reach for while I made this. Β I had other colors around me, I promise. Β But this is what I wanted. Β Something a little more subtle and perhaps slightly chick. Β It has found a temporary and perhaps permanent home atop the china cabinet…though I really would like to hang it on the wall. Β You kind of lose it up there on the china cabinet. Β But for now it is safely away from my two year old’s hands…hands that LOVE sparkles and flowers. Β A girl after my own heart quite obviously.

Tutorials for these types of felt flowers can be found all over the internet. Β Everyone has done one it seems, so I’ll let you google those. Β I have a pinterest board where I collect inspiration as well. Β (I’m dying to do some headbands!)

I think it’s something about fall that makes me want to use a glue gun. Β Maybe because all the leaves are starting to fall and I want to make sure I can safely adhere something into place. Β Deep thoughts for a Saturday night. πŸ˜‰
