Peacock Wreath


It is finally finished! And I love it! Although it took me longer than expected, the outcome was just what I wanted. I bought the tulle by the yard, but I learned a lesson that it's HARD to cut tulle without a rotary cutter. The next wreath will be made with rolled tulle instead :)
The accent was the thing holding me up. I bought feathers online, not paying attention. They were too short! My intentions were to fill up the whole side portion of the wreath and it took me awhile to find (reasonably priced) feathers that matched my colors and had the length I needed. I finally found them and added a .99 cent Walmart flower to finish it off. I enjoyed making this so much, I'd be happy to make one for you too! $20, choose 3-5 colors and any theme you want for your accent. If you can't pick up locally, you'll need to pay shipping as well. Just contact me with your orders (I promise yours will get done sooner than mine, since I have incentive LOL).

I also finished a few head band orders:
The black one just doesn't show up well in pictures, but I assure you the shabby chic flower is amazing!
I love the way the purple one turned out! And this is probably my best bow yet. I found the secret is not to sew it, but to use a clear rubber band instead. It allowed me to adjust the loop sizes until they were perfect! It' so nice to be doing something I enjoy and getting paid for it!

I will be doing tile coasters for my next project (I think!!). What an awesome gift those will be :)
