A great gift for the man in your life!!
Burlap Wreath
In the spirit of Valentine’s Day today’s project is a super cheap, fast, simple, and cute wreath!
1. I bought burlap at Hobby Lobby. One yard is plenty and it is $2.99/yard. Use the 40% coupon from Sunday’s paper or print it off online and you have your burlap for $1.79!! Originally I cut it into 4 inch strips. I ended up cutting those in half. So go with 2 inch wide strips.
2. Unravel a little of each side of the strips.
3. Shape your coat hanger into a heart.
4. Put the burlap strips on the wire, accordion style. The coat hanger pokes right through it!
5. Keep putting on strips until it is thick enough that the coat hanger doesn’t show through.
6. Then fold over the pieces of hanger at the top so they are hooked together.
You are done! That easy! Total project cost, $1.79! Can’t beat that! It took me about 30 minutes, most of which was cutting out the strips. The hardest part is figuring out where you want to put this beautiful wreath!!
New Store is open!!!
I have been making a lot of projects with old barn wood lately! I have received lots of great feedback so I have decided to open a store on my Facebook page! You can find it here! I will add new products everyday! I am also adding them to my Etsy page.

Little Old Door
Check out this amazing little old door! I got it from my secret source who takes down old barns!! He is my jackpot!!! I knew exactly what I wanted to do with this when I found it!
Using my Silhouette, I made this stencil:
Next I laid out the stencil where I wanted it. I put tape on the rest of the wood so when I spray painted it the rest of the wood was covered.
Then I spray painted! Sorry for the terrible pictures! My Nikon was in the shop so I had to use my phone camera!
Remove the stencil and here you go!
I love it! I have 3 extra doors so if you are interested in getting one, email me your established year! I am selling them for $30! janelle@sodderbug.com
