Stress

When I stress out I tend to procrastinate... And eat. Hence, my house is a mess and I've gained 10 lbs since Baby 2 was born. However, much of my crafting is procrastination at its finest. I can sit, craft and pretend that the world is exactly as I wish it to be. This is exactly what happened when I made this Pinecone Wreath.


I was browsing my local Dollar Tree when I saw bags of pinecones for... you guessed it-- a dollar! I intended to make a pinecone garland from them but once home inspiration struck, (that, and I didn't have all the stuff to make the garland), and I came up with this wreath. 

Here's what you need:


-wreath form (I bought mine at Michael's for $4.99 plus a 50% coupon)
-pine cones
-burlap
-your handy dandy glue gun

Yep, that's really it. 



Here's what you do:



1) Lay the wreath form flat

2) Put glue on the bottoms of the pinecones

3) Adhere the pinecones to the wreath form

Yep, that's really it. Easy, peasy... and quick! (And cheap!)

Ok, no more procrastination. In the words of my brother-in-law, "I'm a new [wo]man." At least for the next few hours... I hope...
