For the Love of Rags



Old graduation Gown



start of our wreaths







mine and hers....




I have to admit I am pretty proud of this project. For a few reasons, and yes I am going to share them with you because I am cool like that! I find most of my crafty type projects online. This particular idea was found during the Christmas season. I was looking for a cute wreath...well I had a plain twig wreath that I wanted to give a makeover. So I found the idea of the rag wreath. How perfect...I know, I KNOW! So me. (The only thing is you can't enjoy the glory of the twigs, but I figured in a few years I will get tired of the rags and I can simply remove them and viola I can make another project for myself!)
So my sista and I did up some kissy loving beauties fit for St. Valentine himself!
The materials:
Old wreath (from my wedding, also used at the sisters last year)
old graduation gown (from highschool- yikers)
piece of cardboard - repourpose/recycled people!
some scraps of festive ribbon
(wow, I used items I have saved "for (future) art projects"..I think this officially makes me a hoarder! Oh well, at least it will look good on the wall!)
