HOLY MOLY! Its a TUTORIAL!

Yeah that's right!
I am still capable of crafting.
Phwaaa...and it was soooo simple
Again, thanks to Pinterest
and this link by the talented Amy @ livinglocurto.com
I was able to make this Oh so cute and festive wreath for my Mom's porch.




And this is how ya do it.

Get a grapevine wreath- $4.99 @ Michael's!

Get some of your favorite colored NAPKINS, yes napkins. in 1,2,3 or even 4 colors like I did!
Fun summer colors!

Unfold them so they are a big square- not sure where my purple napkins are in this pic.
(please excuse the Motrin in the pic, Benry had a bit of a fever)


 Take your napkin, grab it in the center, pull it up to make a long leaf looking thingy
 ( that's not very technical sorry, and I don't have a pic either)
Pinch the center and push it under a piece of the grapevine wreath. Then fluff.
Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
Alternating colors as you want.
It will begin to look like this.

Here is the finished product hanging on the door on the porch.

I love this wreath. It was EASY!
It took less than 20 minutes to complete the whole project.
I even had some napkins left over.
Mom has a HUGE wreath hanging on a wall under the carport so I made this for the wreath,




Happy Wednesday everyone!

(PS: Today is the last day of school for my 4 year old, he now becomes a Kindergartener)
how in the world did this happen?
