A Prim Christmas Gift Idea and Wreath How to....

Good Day everyone...

I feel as though I need to mention the weather.. smile..

We started out with a gorgeous warm day.. The sun was out and then around noon it clouded up and then later this afternoon it turned cold.. I just noticed that it is now snowing... Big fat flakes... It is almost 9 p.m. here ..

Terry said he felt like having some popcorn.. grin. . It smells good ..

After supper I decided I needed to finish a Christmas gift I was making...

I must say that I saw this on Pinterest...

I just did my own thing with it.. That's the great thing about it all.. You see an idea and run with it.. It is on my creative ideas board..

It is called An Apron in a Jar..

First I made an apron.. A prim one made out of homespun..

It is very plain.. Just gathered with ties...

Here it is hanging in the laundry room..

It needed tea dyed and  is hanging up to dry..

Then all I had to do is find a wide mouth mason jar as the apron is quite full...

Then I just folded it up and put it in..

You can also add a recipe which I will do later.. maybe..

I had some little wood gingerbread that we had made so I tied that on along with a little tag.. It has to and from on the other side..

A prim friend might like this, eh?

And...

My sweet friend Judy who works at the awesome prim shop in town emailed me and asked how I made the wreath in my bathroom along with some emails from a couple of others...

I thought someone might want to know so I took a couple of pics when I was making it..

Remember, I found this idea on pinterest too..

It is on my sidebar there if you want to click on it..

Anyway..

I have gathered many old pics because I used to make vintage crafts..  I had a drawer full of old pics in the workshop..

You can also find some pics on the web ... There are some sites that have free ones and you can just copy them..

Or scan some of your own if you don't want to use your own good ones.. My friend was telling me you can get copies at Walmart for only 20 cents each..

I just sorted through and picked out different sizes and shapes..

Heated up my glue gun ..

And started sticking them to this embroidery hoop..

I believe the directions on pinterest was to use a wire wreath but I thought they would stick to wood better..

And that was all there was to it..

It took about an hour, I think..

Here it is bedtime again, my dears.. So, I will say good night for now ...

Thanks so much for all your sweet emails and comments..

I love hearing from you all..

What are you girls making for gifts?

Talk to you soon..

Take care..

Hugs..
