Try New Adventures Thursday: Alicia Gets Crafty?

Perhaps you've noticed how all my tutorials here on the blog involve cooking, not crafts.

My wedding photos (3 1/2 years later) still haven't made it into their fancy scrapbook.

I don't own a glue-gun.

I'm not sure if I've ever made a Christmas ornament in my life (shocking, I know...ya'll are going to have to help me out this holiday season).

So now you'll understand what I mean when I say that I did something monumental last week. I made my very first wreath!

The tutorial I found from A Little Brown House walked me through the easy steps. Take a look!

First, I bought the supplies: a Styrofoam wreath, brown ribbon, floral pins (didn't know what they were prior to this experiment!), and brown coffee filters (I bought the 100 count and then had to get some more because I used just over 100). Then I followed the instructions one day during naptime...and see!?

The wreath is now hanging on the inside of our front door...which was formerly extremely white and bare.

What do you think!? I'm quite proud. To see the wreath in better lighting, check out The Little Brown House's cute pictures...

My new adventure was "getting my craft on" (as Ammie would say!)--what's yours? Big or small, link up your recent (or past!) adventures or trial-and-error moments.
