Small Wreaths of Joy for a Friend - Another Holiday Craft

The second gift I made for my Secret Santa was this little "JOY" wreath. It was simple and fun to make. I snuck into her office and copied photographs for this project. I then took them to the craft store and picked out three wreaths that would work nicely. I then got some of the fun Martha Stewart glitter in a lovely shade of medium blue and used it to jazz up the letters. The dried letters were applied to the wreaths with large glue dots. I also attached a few snowflakes that I got from the scrapbook store. I attached the photos to nice card stock and attached those to the back of the wreaths with more glue dots. I used the small ones so that she could easily trade out the photos. I then attached the wreaths with medium sage green ribbon. They seemed to slip around a lot so I then tied small bits of organza ribbon in blue between the wreaths. She was happy with her gift.

Welcome to My Blog

Welcome to "A Need to Create." This blog started out as a way to document and share the various kinds of creations I enjoy making.

However, it has become more like a diary of our family events. You'll find lots of posts about my kids, Ellie (17) who is a senior in high school and Ethan (21) who is currently being a sailor on a tall ship off of the West Coast. They are on the verge of adulthood and I am thankful to be part of their journeys.

I also like to cook and post recipes. I post a lot of our recipes. We were Paleo for a while, and now my husband is vegan. I craft, quilt, sew, paint, knit, etc. when I have time.

I hope you find something to amuse you, inspire you, or at least make you smile. Thanks for stopping by.

About Me

Tammy W
I have a nearly insatiable need to create things - from paper, paint, fabric or food. While it is fun to have end products, it is the act of creating that it important. It can put me in a nearly Zen-like state of happiness and contentment. My postings here will chronicle my processes. I am a mom of two kids, Ethan (18 years old) and Ellie (14 years old). I met my husband on a blind date in high school and have been in love ever since. By day I am a HS English teacher. I also teach reading and am an English as a Second Language teacher. I also write and facilitate online professional development graduate level courses for teachers.
