Sentimental Fall Wreath..

(This is what I started with...)

I started several new projects this morning... I would start one... then move on to something else.. couldnt quite decide on what I wanted to do.  I finally decided to work on a fall wreath.  After trying different things.. I came to the quick conclusion that I needed something to cover the wreath.. before I really started working on it.  After a quick peek into my "fabric bin" (which includes clothing that I saved thinking.. that maybe one day I would find  a use for it.. ) it hit me... the shirt my son wore for my best friend's wedding last fast.. is the perfect color.  I simply cut the arms off - then cut them into strips and starting securing to the wreath until it was completely covered.  It was still a little too messy looking for my liking.. after some digging in my fall stash - I found some tulle that was used for decoration at the wedding also...  then it all starting coming together - I would use things from my best friend's wedding to complete the wreath and give it to her for her 1st wedding anniversay!  The pics arent that great - I def need a new camerea - but Im super excited about giving it to her! I used leaves and decor from her wedding (that she so kindly gave me after the wedding) to finish it with!

I wish that I had better pictures - because this really doesnt do it justice. I love the way that it turned out - especially knowing that it will have so much sentimental value to my best friend! :)
