I love making square wreaths. I have lots of old frames in a closet and it makes the perfect no-cost basis for a door hanging. I wrap mine with fabric and I have a lot of fabric so this is a no cost craft for me. I think an old frame could be painted and it would work out just as well…or for that matter, not painted and just decorated. I have to try that. I think a lot more of the frame would have to be covered with stuff, though. It’s SO FUN!

Michele and I made these little felt birds last year and I’m finding uses for them all over the place.

I had this fabric laying around – it’s not the perfect pumpkin fabric but it had orange in it – and I had a roll of cotton crosheen which is just a ball of thread near the sewing machine. A ball of string would be fine also. Anyway, I put the two together and I had a PUMPKIN!  I’ve seen fabric covered toilet paper rolls on the blogs but a tp roll would have been too large anyway.
I covered the ball of thread with the fabric and tucked it in the top and added a “stem” stick. This is super duper easy and quick….and fun.

I had this sign hanging up somewhere in the front hall. I grabbed it and hung it on one corner of the frame.

And these leaves in the bottom corner….


I hope you liked this wreath. It’s almost too late but I wanted to share it anyway.
If you have a collection of something like cats or owls, this would be a good base to put them on.
Hope this was helpful. Soon Michele, my niece and I will be starting on Christmas ornaments. And the Ornament Party is in full swing. Come on over and link up any Christmas ornaments you’ve made.
Best wishes,
