Wreath

Isha received this adorable bouquet of "flowers" as a gift when she was born. The flowers were actually rolled up baby clothes. I didn't want to tear the bouquet apart because it was so adorable, but I knew that he whole point of the gift was the baby clothes, so I finally pulled it apart. I decided that I wanted to do something with the leaves and flowers so that Isha would always remember this really cool gift. After a year of sitting in a bag I have finally gotten around to doing something with them!

I took all of the flowers and leaves and put them together on a heart wreath to hang on Isha's door.

It is funny because I was always shocked by how much these wreaths sold for at craft stores, but after making one of my own, I know know why. I was not as easy as I thought, but after a few burnt fingers from the glue gun and 3 attempts at making the bow I had a finished product!

Ouch! Hot glue burns hurt. A lot. What a cute memento of a special gift. I would have had a very hard time taking apart the bouquet as well.
