{PINWHEEL garland - Tutorial}

What do you think of when you see pinwheels?

I think of Spring and Summer.

Warm, windy days.

Backyard BBQ's....Lounging and laughing.

Basically.... FUN!

I wanted to share with you this simple tutorial on how to make your own

PINWHEEL GARLAND!

It would be such a cute addition to your outdoor garden party, baby shower, bridal shower, even as wedding decorations in matching wedding colors... perfect!
Here's what you need to get started:

The next steps are pretty much explained in the following photos:

I punched small holes in 2 of the corner points on each pinwheel and strung them onto a length of jute rope:

That's all there is to it!

My home decorations don't exactly mesh with Springy colors, but I'm loving the pinwheel garland just the same.

I hope you enjoy making your own

PINWHEEL GARLAND!

Feel free to link up a photo in the comments if you make one.

I definitely want to see it!

{5 Dollar Berry Wreath}

I made this wreath last SPRING and just pulled it out to hang up again this year.

It was originally made for a $5 dollar blog challenge so I decided to get all of my supplies at Dollar Tree.

Since Dollar Tree is currently selling these little berry bundles again, I thought I'd show you the tutorial so you can make one for yourself!

These tutorial pictures are fairly self-explanatory:

Buy and gather your supplies.

You will also need scissors and your trusty hot-glue gun.

then

Take caution, as the hot-glue can and will easily seep through the open berry spaces and will burn you.  I promise.

Also, I do NOT recommend making this wreath anywhere around small children!

The foam berry balls come off quite easily and roll right onto the ground.

They look like delicious candies.

I had to stop myself from eating them.....

just kidding

But, please... be super-duper careful!

To finish it off, tie a ribbon around the top and hang it up!

There are other colors of berries as well:   blue, pink, purple...  you could make any color combo you like, or keep it all one color.

It would also be cute as a table centerpiece with candles or a mossy nest and eggs placed in the center, perfect for Easter!
