Nothing ushers in the holiday spirit quicker than doing seasonal crafts! Living in Florida I have never really had a "real" winter. All my life I have dreamt of a snowy wonderland, and in return I usually just get a few weeks of having 50 degree days.
Winter in Florida is my favorite time of the year and nothing kicks it off better than searching for seasonal inspiration. This year I walked around Jo-Ann's and found something to get me in the fall mood. As soon as I came across the
DIY wreath project I knew I had found the perfect project to help me get my winter spirit rolling in.
I am a big fan of pictures and a small fan of actually reading directions. So, surprise surprise I skimmed through the project steps and bought the wrong Deco Mesh ... so that means I will just have to improvise.
After watching a couple YouTube videos about how to create a deco mesh wreath and incorporating the steps from the Jo-Ann's project, I decided that the best way to make this wreath would be to wing it. Here are some pics of my masterpiece in progress.

So, did I have fun? YES. Would I do it again? YES. Did I learn anything? Absolutely!
Here is a list of things I learned from my first experience doing a DIY craft project:
- Make sure you read the directions before buying supplies.
- Make sure you follow the steps on the directions correctly.
- Ignore steps 1 & 2 and do whatever you want!
Directions should just be suggestions, do what inspires you. And remember, nothing can ever have too much bling! And most importantly, Happy Fall!
