I absolutely love fun fur. I don't knit or crochet (although I used to) I love to create with it. I have lots of this yarn at home and I wasn't sure what to make until I saw this ladybug wreath. I fell in love with this wreath the instant I saw it and right away the creative juices started flowing.
I started out with a
- straw wreath
- sunflowers
- bees
- ribbon
- 2 skeins of black yarn and
- 2 skeins of salt and pepper yarn (I can't remember the correct name)
I used a skein of black and a skein of salt pepper at the same time and just started wrapping around the wreath. I left the plastic on the wreath so it was easier to wrap. At least I thought so. J I just keep wrapping until the entire wreath form was covered.
Sorry I don't have a picture of the sunflowers. I found long stemmed sunflowers in the clearance section at the craft store years ago and knew I had to have them. They finally came in handy. ♥♥♥ I took the stems off and just hot glued them to the wreath and glued the bee to look like it was in the sunflowers.
I tied a zebra grossgrain ribbon around the top with a bow and you're done. I made this wreath one night while watching TV with the family. Hence the shortage of pictures.
