[Nfb-krafters-korner] Want To Know Wednesday 10/4/17 Wreaths

[Bernice]

Hi fellow Krafters,

When I was at the Cracker Barrel Store after dinner the other night, I was
looking at the Christmas section and saw a wreath that I believe I could
make and embellish.  There was a circular board with string wound around it
making triangles all the way around.  Then each string had many pom poms
tied to them.  It made for a very fluffy wreath.  I would think you could
tie many additional decorations on it like beads, maybe wind a shiny garland
amongst the pom poms.  I always tried to get as many lights onto my tree as
would fit, because that is what I used to be able to see.  Now that those
tiny lights are so cool, and they can be battery operated, they could easily
be strung around this kind of wreath or any other without worrying about the
heat. 

My Mom made me two wreaths that I hang every year.  One is a styrafoam ring
covered with material with a big ruffle arouned the outside with a big bowe
hanging from the bottom.  The other one is quite interesting, but I don't
have the slightest idea of how she did it.  There is a wire wreath that
looks like it has many little squares.  Kind of like chicken wire but
heavier.  There are tiny little brightly colored pillows.  They are very
tightly packed and a few hang off of the bottom.  I can't imagine making all
of those tiny pillows.

Man I can't wait to retire and have time to try more crafts.   

Bernice and the sweet Octane.

Hello to all:

 

Sorry I'm getting this out a little late; I left early this morning and have
been gone most of the day.

 

Before we get started with the question I want to let you all know about an
opportunity to earn some contest points.

 

  The contest committee will give 25 points to anyone who submits a Want To
Know Wednesday question that is selected.  If you want to submit a question
send it to me and if I choose it, I will tell who sent it when I post the
question.  I will also send a private message to the individual letting them
know.  If the question has a specific answer you must include the answer in
the message you send to me.  All messages need to be craft related.

 

If you wish to submit a question or need any further information please
contact me at jellybeanfarm at gmail.com

 

Since Sharon did such a wonderful job with the chat on Monday I want to talk
wreaths just a bit longer.  If you missed this chat, you missed out on a lot
of wonderful information.  I used to always think of wreaths as circles with
an open center and a bow, but now I have a whole new attitude about them.
Ever since the chat I've been thinking of wreath themes and interesting
things that can go on them.

 

What type of wreath themes have you all thought up?

 

What interesting objects or materials do you want to use?

 

Please share your ideas.  I hope they are as fun and creative as some of
Sharon's suggestions.

 

I look forward to reading your responses.

 

Nella
