Now that the christmas season is coming closer I am focusing on ideas for my store front.
I did a bit of research on wreaths and found that not only are there traditional ones made of leaves etc but so are there ones that range from birdseed,candy,seashells,pastry,paper and the list goes on and on... actually one can really make it out of anything your heart desires as long as you have a base for the wreath,some good glue and some pretty ribbon to hang it on.
The very talented Jessica Enig who designs most of our kits has come out with this absolutely beautiful wreath that is going to be sold as a do it yourself kit.
All you need is a pair of scissors and some glue and the rest is all mapped out by Jessica with instructions. The kit conains vintage wallpaper posies,6 inch wreath form,rhinestones and some vintage ribbon to hang it.... what a great christmas gift.
The kits will be available in store from next month or online at www.accessoriesofold.com
Have a look at the one I made for our door in the shop. I have this cut metal wreath that I bought from a wonderful designer in South Africa. He designs all kinds of items ranging from coat racks to this wreath that are laser cut and come in different colors. So I took a white wreath and inside it made another wreath out of vintage ribbon off cuts... I really like the way it came out.
Have a look at some other great wreaths I found to stimulate the creative buds......
I particulary love these with all the buttons... have a look in our store accessories of old if you want to design a button wreath as we have a range of buttons that you could wreath till the cows came home!!
And this one if for the birds....
