Amber created a spectacular wreath at Shannon's Bubbly Burlap Wreath Party. Her friends were impressed with her work and were interested in making on as well, so Amber contacted us to set up her own craft party. From the time that we scheduled the party to the day of the party, Amber was prompt and organized. She made our job VERY EASY!
Krysten and I woke up just before the pitter patter of little feet hit the floor, packed up the truck and we were on our way to Poquoson, VA! Amber's Dad and Mom, Karen, as well as our littlest helper, Bella, helped us unload the truck and begin to rearrange/set up furniture to accommodate our biggest party yet! We set up the paint, wreaths, burlap mesh, fabric, flowers, and ribbon in the sun room for easy access.

Bella was just the sweetest little helper! |
As everyone arrived, they gathered in the sun room to choose their color combinations and ribbon/fabric choices. We enjoyed a delicious brunch complete with fruits, veggies, bagels, cream cheese....Hmmmm...my mouth is watering! Then, it was time to get down to business. Everyone painted their letters and set them aside to dry.
Next, everyone began to add the burlap mesh to their wreaths using floral pins.....gather gather gather gather, meet in the middle, overlap, place on the wreath, puff it up, pin it down. That was the mantra necessary to complete this part. After all of that hard work, next came the fun part - jazzing the wreaths up with fabric, flowers, ribbon, fabric flowers (thanks Stephanie for showing everyone how to make them!).
