It started with a $1

It started with just $1.00... yes found the wreath at a garage sale for ONE DOLLAR

and a few scraps...

At first I was just going to use the left over fabric and add the tulle behind the flowers,

It wasn't enough.... And yes I forgot to take a picture. Sorry.

 

I had the Angel that I picked up over the garage sale season. She has been hanging in the Kitchen patiently waiting for her proper place.  She was only $1.00.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

I have to say this one took a couple trails... I do NOT adhere ANYTHING until I am happy. Pins for this were a big help. 

Once things were heading in the right direction...the greens were added to frame everything and add a natural element.  I did use a hot glue for this project.  Our Angel is wired on just for extra security. 

 

 

Next was our scrap flowers from another project.... the tulle was from the same one.  The flowers did need some Bling... glimmer paper snowflakes to the rescue.

And of course it needs a bow... I just used the same tulle with 6 loops wired the middle and .... 

there you go!

 

 

So, I know, I have kept you in suspense long enough....

Thanks for stopping by today... 

Have fun getting Crafty!!

It started with a $1

Yup, it started with $1.00.  

I found this already super cute wooden birdhouse at a garage sale for just $1.00. 

Humm, what can I do with this?? 

Here is the finish product......

Sorry for the lighting situation in this picture.  

Adding a fallen branch from outside, some paper cutouts and imagination....  

Wahlaa!!

Keeping the pumpkins whole (not jack-o-lanterns), I could use this for the whole fall season.

Six punches of the same cardstock folded in half and stuck together are how the pumpkins worked.

The curly tops are from the bird builder punch.

A Cardinal perched on the branch would be typical for this time of year, at least I thought so.... 

 

Hot glue worked the best for this project.  Starting with the branch to the house, all the leaves, birds and made pumpkins.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trivia... what colors do pumpkins come in?? Yes, there are white pumpkins, green and yellow.  So think outside the box on your projects too!!

 

 

 

 

A short funny story... Apparently, I left the craft room door open, the monster kitties in my house went and decided the branch would be a great thing to chew on.  I have had to since redo this project.

 

 

 

 

 

Please let me know if you enjoy this, 'It started with a $1'.  I plan on posting this the 1st of the every month.

 

 

Have a Great day getting Crafty!!!
