Velcro, mittens and Ping-Pong balls


Found this fun idea on my SIL's blog who originally saw it on Make and Takes.
I'm having fun gathering ideas of things to do inside as we've had an incredible amount of rain here recently. And plus I will be moving to the north west...(enough said.)

Fun and Unique Wreath

Ok I'll be honest. When I first saw this I thought "hmmm...I'm not sure about this one..." but now, about 24 hours later, i REALLY like it! And how fun to be able to change the color so quickly and easily. Just think about holidays and seasons! So I'm not sure where the idea originated, but I found these on MADE who did them out of acorns which I think is my favorite, but where in the world would I get acorns?!




and then I saw this on All Things Thrifty and she did it out of Lima Beans! HA! (Love the big ribbon on this one.)

And then she added a picture of her friends version of using nuts, (who knows what kind they are ?!) and adding a wooden letter of the first letter of their last name hanging in the middle. Love that.

and here is my version (done months later :))
