Christmas in July - Mini Wreaths

All month I've been consumed by Christmas excitement, mainly because I have so many mosquito bites that Summer is now dead to me, and I'm hankering for some scarf and woolly hat weather.


These mini wreaths started off as a Cardboard tea bag box, then using a large and small Circle punch I whipped the bases up in no time. Then wrapped them with pipe cleaners, Beads, sequins and ribbons from my 'too small to be of use' ribbon box.




As usual I made a ton, so I'll be scattering these liberally around my tree and handmade gift wrap this year. Don't they look cute all lined up?


This project idea came from Martha Stewarts Handmade Holiday Crafts book, my oldest younger sis Hannah bought this for me, she must be buttering me up, or maybe she still feels guilty about the year she bought me a 50p scented candle, or Candle-gate as it has since become known as ;)

For size reference, I'm always amazed at how Sausage like my fingers look on closeups ;)

More unseasonal Christmas projects coming up, looks like a Christmas in July, August, September ...
