    Rainbow Felt Wreath with Hand Embroidery

    May 22, 2019 /

    With so much rain (and even snow) in much of the country we’re looking for the rainbows and sunny days ahead! Whip up a rainbow felt wreath to bring some color to your front door and start searching for that pot of gold. Rebecca Greco shares just how fun and easy making this rainbow felt wreath is. Not only does it only take a few hours to stitch, it doesn’t require many materials, either. Make one for a retiring teacher or lunch helper to say goodbye once school is out for summer – or one for yourself! Add an initial or monogram to the center for even more personalization. This…

    No-Sew Wreath with Thread Wrapped Letter

    January 23, 2019 /

    No Sew Wreath Make a no-sew wreath in no time! This month, we’re decorating with wreaths to fill the holiday-decor void. We’ve had a colorful wreath made of thread spools, a snowflake wreath made with freestanding lace snowflake embroidery designs, and now a no-sew wreath composed of a wooden letter wrapped in thread. Make your own no-sew wreath to add some cheer to your front door, with a little or a lot of color. Sulky 12 wt. cotton Petites make quick work of winding the wooden letter, which can be found in a craft or hobby store (I found mine at the Target dollar bin!). For your no-sew wreath, choose…

    January 7, 2019 /

    DIY Wreath Challenge with Sulky Pack up those Christmas trees and put up a cheery DIY winter wreath to fill the holiday-season void! As the holiday decor is put away, the house tends to feel a bit empty. We want to inspire you with some great winter decor that works in place of all those Santas, snowmen and red and green you might have had up for the past month (or more). So we created a Sulky DIY Wreath Challenge and asked some of our favorite designers to create different wreaths to show us how they decorate after the holidays. A set of simple guidelines guided the challenge. DIY Wreath…
