All that Glitters are Shiny Brites

It takes a whole year to accumulate enough loot.

Many pickers (that would be Beth) are employed to get the job done.

Many 40% off coupons are assigned to high temp hot glue sticks purchases in order to make the creation execution possible.

Many storage bins are required to keep the loot organized.

Wreaths in progress.  They are looking pretty good, but I think I can squeeze a few more ornies in there.

Now I just need some neosporin for these hot glue blisters.

  2. The wreaths are looking Super! Oh yes I bet you have a few finger burns. Martha’s tip keep a cup of cold/ ice water near by when using glue gun for a quick dunk. (:

  5. The question of the day is: does the hot glue not come of and drop them onto the floor? I swear every time I hot glue things start dropping off like flies. Maybe I use cheap glue?
    Maybe I am hot glue challenged? LOL

  8. Great finds this year…I also collect all year long for my crafts – good thing we don’t live in the same neck of the woods. I use the 40 percent off coupon from Michaels for hot glue as well – have you noticed the price of it lately? YIKES! Love the wreaths!

  9. I’m not normally a wreath person because I find them boring and traditional, but your wreath has definitely changed my mind! Amazing!
    Will you be listing these on your Etsy shop? Or are they too delicate for shipping?
