Alternate title: "Oh no, not this one again"

The Wreath.

Yeah, that one. 

I feel like I'm obligated to talk more about considering it took me so freakin' long to make!

There are just over 300 rosettes on that thing. 300 times about 4 minutes per rosette divided by 60 minutes...

Yeah.

I definitely put over 20 hours into it.

Especially considering that I started gluing rosettes onto one wreath form, decided I didn't like it, pulled them off and put them onto another wreath. A wreath that I made fatter by putting batting all around it then wrapping it in yarn before adding rosettes.

So after all that, my plans to put it in my bedroom were thrown out the window because I want people to see it, darn it! So for now it lives on the mantle.

Luckily it was super cheap to make! I used old books that I had around the house, (4 John Grisham novels if you want to know) the yarn and batting I also had, and the wreath was only $2.50.

Unfortunately I had to use 20 bucks worth of hot glue.

Ha ha, I kid, I kid. But really, there was quite a bit of glue involved.

So, for the last time (today) The Wreath.

*I just wanted to remind ya'll (I put the link up here once already) that this was not my original idea. I saw this first on Under the Table and Dreaming)*
