feather boa wreath {tutorial}

I have been eyeing feather wreaths for awhile and was SHOCKED when I finally looked at a price tag. $100??? For a feather wreath with nothing on it??

Uh, no thanks. I can make that.

So I did.

You can find these wire wreath forms for just a few dollars at pretty much any craft store.

I then ran to our local Party store and bought 3 white boas...yes, just plain 'ol feather boas. I've seen them at craft stores, too.

These 2 photos of me are curtesy of sweet 4 yr old Laith. Love the weird angles.

Thanks, buddy.

Anyway, you simply tie one end and wrap and wrap and wrap some more.

Luckily, it's much {much} faster than doing the yarn letters I did for Anton & Laith's room.

My new fluffy etherial wreath was cute on it's own, but I had these faux flowers leftover from another project {that I'll share in spring} that were crying out to be used.

I simply cut them at the base...

And hot glued them to one side.

I then added a few random things I had around the house, such as one of these cocktail picks I had left over from a party a few months ago.

And of course some bunting {simple tutorial here}, and red paper lips.

Super cute, easy...and inexpensive.

We're officially ready for Valentines Day.

{just had to add this photo!}

Anton brought this home for me today.

I love his Kindergarden spelling: "I luv uoo mom"

...oh and those are arrows, of course!

I'm in love with it.
