Burlap Wine Cork Wreath

Getting into that holiday spirit around here!! This is a ruffled burlap and wine cork wreath (cause why can't you put those two things together, right?) for Christmas. Speaking of holidays.....if you are looking for some Thanksgiving Crafts, check out my collection HERE.

Fairly easy to make too. First off, drink lots of wine. Check. It's the holiday season, right? That shouldn't be a problem. 

Here's the entire list of essentials to make this wreath:

Heavy duty wire

Floral wire

Wooden Beads

Long strips of burlap

Wine Corks

Ribbon

For tools you'll need:

Small drill bit

Drill 

Hot Glue

Plyers

~Drill a small hole through the side of all the wine works, about 3/4 of the way down the cork. 

~Thread the wine works and the beads on the thick wire and, once full, shape it into a circle and use the pliers to twist the metal ends together. 

~Using hot glue, attach the ends of the longs strips of burlap together.

~ Accordion fold the burlap as you thread it onto the floral wire. 

~Shape the wire into a circle and tack the two wreaths together in a couple spots (on the backs of the wine cork) with some hot glue. 

~Use some ribbon to loop around the wreath, at what you would consider the top. You're done!!

A Marvelous Mess #40 and Features!!!

You guys are totally awesome. It was such a great collection of unique ideas this past week....holidays are totally inspiring!! I'll be pinning plenty of your ideas, no doubt. 

Here are my fave's:

Wire Wrapped Tree Ornament from Lisa's Craft Blog. Love this in particular because I used a tree of life stamp on my wedding invitations about 10 years ago. :-)

Turkey Chalkboard from The Shady Porch. Caaaa-uuuute. 

Faux Snowballs from Lella Boutique. That sign and the wire basket are just perfect with the craft!!

and the project I'm going to feature on my sidebar is........

All is Gravy from Freaking Craft

SOOOOOO funny. And now I've got the song stuck in my head. :-) Which is a good thing, cause it's a great song. Thanks Freaking Craft for making my night. If you want to hear the song (or if there's a chance you've never heard this Simon and Garfunkle song) check it out HERE. Aw, it's so good.

Now, on to the party:

Brillance Diamonds

Have you ever looked at a ring and thought, that diamond is *gorgeous* but I wouldn't have chosen that setting?? Or perhaps you couldn't find a diamond you like at a store, because the choices were so few. Shopping at a diamond wholesale store like Brillance, rather than a Jewelry store, gives you so many more options in the style of diamond that you choose....with a hefty savings as well. At Brilliance .com you can shop for a loose wholesale certified diamond, wholesale diamond jewelry, or even an engagement ring. One of my favorite parts about the whole deal: No one is looking over your shoulder to try and convince you to buy something more expensive. Shopping at Brilliance is pressure free!!!!
