[Nfb-krafters-korner] what is new?

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

Jill;
You are not making sence.  Your original message says you used stiraphome and covered and now you are saying you used a iron ring.  Did you twist it aroung the ring.  How did you keep the flowers on?  I thought you covered the stiraphome and put the flowers in the stiraphome.

So what did you really do?

Terry P.

I took a metal wreath form like we used for Theresa's candy wreath class, wrapped and folded it like a fan all the way around.  I used 24 gauge wire to attach it .  the burlap was cut in a strip like 6 inches  by 1.5 yards.
You could use burlap ribbon if you wanted instead.

How do you mean that you made a burlap wreath?  Did you cover a wreath form with burlap?

Hi,

I thought I would throw out the question " What is  new"?  I mean what is the
new projects everyone is working on.   Have you discovered a new trend in
crafting?  Did you find a unique  item at a recent craft fair?  Please share it with us all!  I  believe that burlap is becoming popular for home décor.
Has anyone made  something using burlap?  I made a burlap wreath and adorned it with  summer silk flowers as a wedding gift.  Over the weekend I made  a
memorial flower arrangement for my best friend's daughters grave.   My 
friend
lost her daughter 11 years ago when the little girl was only  3.  Each year she and I try to make special arrangements for her  little angel Kali.  This year I also covered the Styrofoam with burlap  and used greenery and small
pink silk flowers to decorate the piece.   This is a sad but fulfilling 
craft
for me.  I also made arrangements  for my parent's grave in May.  It is my way to show my honor and love  to them still.  Does anyone else work with silk  flowers?
