I created this Halloween Hounds-tooth Wreath by wrapping a grapevine wreath with black ribbon. I then used purple velvet ribbon and black and white hounds-tooth ribbon cut on an angle and glued them to the bottom. For the skulls I used the top of plastic rings that I found at the dollar store and spray painted them black and white. I added more ribbon at the top to hang it from and now I have it to enjoy for this, my favorite holiday.

This week I took a boring, old, white mirror and treated it with silver leaf, mounted it to the wall and the painted a silver boarder around the outside. To finish it off I used my Cricut to cut Bazzill Basics Gun Powder Grey Glitter Paper shapes using the Accent Essentials Cartridge. I then attached the shapes to the silver painted frame on the wall with Aleene’s Tacky Tape.

I wanted to share the project I made using the Spring Fever Holiday Cartridge that comes with the Cricut Expression 2 bundle. I was inspired by this cart to create a tween themed wall tile. I love YA books and read them all. So for this design I used the bleeding heart tattoo looking cut to represent The Twilight Series and the dragon to represent the Millennium / Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Series. I am forever a tween myself and love celebrating a good read!

I started this weeks project with pieces of burlap that I had peeled off of another reclaimed project I am working on and I thought why not make use of these scraps of two toned burlap? I also just sewed a new shower curtain for my girls bathroom and the curtain that was in there was a simple canvas one. So again I thought this can be used and off to the studio I went.
I used the burlap to wrap around a green Styrofoam wreath form that I actually picked up at the dollar store. I then used my Cricut and the Simply Scarecrow Cartridge to cut out the”Happy Harvest”, the leaves and a corn stalk onto black paper and used those to burned them onto a YUDU screen.
I screen printed onto that canvas shower curtain by taking brown, orange and tan ink and swirling it on the screen so that when I used the squeegee to pull the ink through it would variegate the colors to look like a mixed fall pallet. I frayed the edges of the burlap and the canvas to give the whole thing a rustic look.
I finished it off by adding a golden rod yellow ribbon at the top, a tiny piece of burlap and finished it with a tiny screen printed leaf at the loop that will hang on the wreath holder that goes over my door.
