Any sewist would be so proud to have this cute little wreath on their sewing room wall. It makes a very nice gift too.
SEWING ROOM CRAFT: This small wreath is one of the cutest things I've ever done. It only takes about an hour. Going through old projects, I found the bare wreath and just kind of got carried away with my bottle of glue. 1. First I chose 3 coloured ribbons, each about 2 yds. long. 2. Taking all 3 lengths in one hand, wind them around the wreath and tie a bow at the top. 3. Now comes the fun part. Search around your sewing space for odd buttons and notions. Glue these on the wreath with your favourite craft glue. The more the better. 4. I glued ribbon roses on top of old, large coat buttons. There is also a bodkin, a thimble, a bobbin, some 1" fabric swatches, odd coloured buttons and sewing charms. Anything you can find. 4. Cover the wreath with these small notions until it suits your taste. Leave overnight until the glue is completely dry. This is a cute little wreath to hang over your machine or on your door and just the gift for someone who sews or quilts. ...
