Yellow + Gray Love

I find myself apologizing again for the sparse blog posting - but I do have a couple drafts in the works for some fun Portland dates, an addition to my anxiety story, my upcoming 27th birthday and some fun personal goals and transitions for me and T. Stay tuned!

It's no secret that I am a fan of Pinterest and blogging about it.. (see example #1,  #2, #3 and #4). So when I came across the many images of making a new wreath for our front door, I absolutely loved this little gem..

So I wanted to put my own spin on it just ever so slightly.

Using the tutorial I did before on how to make felt flowers for a wreath (see example #1 above). I gathered up a straw wreath (leaving the plastic wrapping on to keep the circle shape), my extra white felt fabric, bought some yellow felt fabric and some super soft gray yarn. I absolutely love the yellow, white, gray color combination!

I did not take photos of how I went through it step by step because it is a bit self-explanatory once you have figured out how to make the felt flowers.. but here is my finished product.

the lighting on our walk way doesn't really help that the photo was done a la iPhone.

So that is my latest DIY for under $10 and it's such a fun eye catching piece walking down our walk way. I really had a good time making this wreath, although stringing yarn over and over and over around the wreath took forever - it was still fun to see the progress happen. Have you found any inspiration or Pinspiration lately?? Time to put those pins into action friends! :)
