Now here's Amanda from Every Crafty Endeavor! I am so excited to have her here today with us! She is sharing a really cute patriotic idea today....I definitely need to make something like this for the 4th of July! Very cute! So without further ado...here is Amanda...
I am so excited to be here today at Simply Designing! Ashley is such a cute girl and has a darling little blog and it is an honor to be apart of it! I am always adding things to my "to-do" list just by looking through her fun ideas.
My name is Amanda and I am the creative mind behind “Every Crafty Endeavor.” I am married to a dashingly handsome, hard-working man named Spencer and we have a little boy named Quinn! I work part time as a writer on a marketing team for an Engineering Company and craft in my “spare time.” I have been a “mommy blogger” for a couple years – and started Every Crafty Endeavor to showcase some crafty ideas that I have made.
Sometimes I come up with ideas on my own and sometimes I see ideas that I love and copy - always giving credit of course! That is what I love about blogging - everyone shares ideas and our homes and babies and lives are much cuter! I love to craft and cook and I have lots of fun ideas and tutorials that I love to share. I am constantly thinking about things to cook, make or sew, accessories that pop, ways to decorate my home and things to photograph. When visiting my blog - you will find ideas and tutorials for:
Home Decor
Yummy Recipes
Accessories
and a whole lot more!
Today I am excited to debut a fun little wreath I made just in time for Memorial Day - followed quickly by the Fourth of July! All the supplies will be purchased from the Dollar Tree! Creative and Cheap!
You will need:
-
a grapevine wreath
-
7 rolls of ribbon
-
America Sign
-
Scissors
First: Pull the paper tag off the wreath, leaving the plastic tie - you will use this to hang up your wreath.
Second: Cut up your ribbons to your desired length Mine were about 12 inches.
Third: Start tying on the ribbon.
Tie on as much as you would like.
Fourth: Attach the America Sign onto the back. I simply untied one side of the sign and looped it through the plastic tie at the top. Then I re-threaded it, tied it off and nestled the sign a little bit crooked in the wreath. It fits just a little bit tight so it was perfect.
You can also just let it hang down in the front. Just decide what you like and go for it!
Fifth: Hang it up and enjoy!
Ashley, Thanks so much for having me and swapping with me today! Make sure you stop by my blog today so you can see what cute idea she is teaching. It is darling and you won't be disappointed!
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing with us Amanda! (And thanks for saying all those nice things!!) I am really excited to try out a few of her tutorials...she does some cute stuff!
Happy Designing!
Julie
