My "Starbucks" Wreath

Every year when I decorate  our house for Christmas I take special delight in  getting this wreath out of storage. It is truly festive and gives such a nice look to the wall.

Couple of years ago these"Starbucks" wreaths were all over the web, and I decided to have one, or better, make one, and despite being time consuming to make, they are not difficult at all.

 Before even I started blogging I was making things, but did not take photos, sorry :0( 

For the bigger balls, I used foam balls from the dollar store and covered them with yarn or jute twine.

Then I filled the spaces with the other glass ornaments. All with hot glue.

Beautifying Foam Mannequins

Hi!

A while ago I bought these foam mannequins at the thrift store for 2.99 each and had big plans for them, let's say to "beautify" them.

I used jute yarn and hot glue for one  and a flowery napkin and modpodge

The whole process is  straightforward, vey easy,  just time consuming

 I will use them to showcase  some stuff at my Etsy store. It certainly looks different, uh?

 Next , I got this beautiful napping and some modpodge

 Here they are, I think that they do not look so cheap anymore, what do you think, girls??
