RUDOLF CHALLENGE NOVEMBER 2017..................GD CREATION


Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.

I am back today with my last GD for the Rudolf Challenge of this year.
The challenge runs from the 25th of the month to the end of the month over at 
and as always, it's anything goes as long as it's Christmas.
One entry per person.
Iwould also like to thank Maureen for having me as one of her DT this year I have enjoyed my year with all the other very talented people who were her DT over this year.
I have also enjoyed looking at the very super creations entered by all you talented people out there.
 
So I was busy making things for the Bazaar, and came up with this idea of a larger wreath after seeing smaller ones on U Tube being made by One Very Happy Bird. HERE

 This is my idea of a larger one.

As you can see I made the smaller ones also.
My idea was to cut out some card in a wreath shape a few times, and glue it together.
Then I bound the card with cheap ribbon.
Next I made up lots of the beaded pipe cleaner shapes as the tutorial, and hot glued them to the ribbon wreath front, back, inside, and outside, and then decorate as you wish.
This takes about 2 hours to make, and I used the beaded Christmas Decorations for mine as you get loads, and they are really cheap.

 Thank you so much for your visit, and I do hope you have the time to join us in this last challenge of the year.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

    Hi jenny...Love this pretty wreath! Loving the beads you worked in and the wee Santa in the center!

    Sorry I am so late with the challenge. Did not have it ready to go and cracked a molar that required a crown and then found out the pain i thought was just from the tooth was actually Oral Shingles. I now have medication to help lesson the shingles symptoms but am on strong painkillers. So strong that i forgot to get the post up in time as have just been sleeping!

    Sorry to leave you with everyone's questions about the late challenge.!

    What a clever project, and how festive. Enjoyed reading how you created this pretty Christmas wreath. The pipe cleaner texture looks so velvety, and touchable. I love the bright traditional colors and your decorations on the wreath are quite adorable. Love that you made mini-s of this - you have been one busy lady with lots of irons in the fire. Hope you're getting a little time out to rest and not overdo. TFS & Hugs too.

    Your wreath is stunning Jenny. What a lovely decoration for Christmas as I'm sure it will be a popular seller on your stall. I'm so impressed with the way you've added all the little berries. I get in such a mess if I have to add more than 3 together! Barbxx

    Oooo absolutely fabby teamie and i have enjoyed very much looking at all your wonderful creations this year.

    Muppet features me, forgot all about it, even though I had made 2 cards, but i do have a good excuse, we finally exchanged on our old house and are hoping to complete this Friday - to say it's been trying is an under statement, as this should have happened at least 6 weeks ago, Luv Sam x
