Pool Noodles & Burlap

I've hopped on the Pool Noodle Wreath bandwagon.

What a fantastic idea! 

And since I've really gotten away from doing crafts and mainly have just been working on furniture, 

this simple and easy craft was an awesome instant gratification pick-me-up.

Just the way I like it.

Couple of hours.

Done.

Plus... 

Shannon from Fox Hollow Cottage 

along with 

Debbie at Debbiedoo's 

Jessica at Mom4Real 

and 

Debbie from reFresh reStyle 

are all hosting a Pool Noodle Wreath Party next month!

I hope I'm not breaking blogging etiquette by revealing this so early, but I loved it so much that 

I just simply couldn't wait.  

I have no will power.  :P 

This is enough motivation for me!

(Especially since I've been a bad blogger friend and have never linked up to one of Shan's parties.)

Be sure and link up, peeps!

So yesterday, I got the pool noodle fevah (as Shannon puts it) and got to work.

I won't go into detail of how I did it, since I straight-up copied Shannon 

and you can find her tutorial HERE.

Pretty much, I just grabbed stuff I had laying around the house, after I purchased my pool noodle from Wally World.

A wreath is a GREAT spot to show off 

your most favorite things all in one spot.

Burlap...

hydrangeas, ribbons, and cloth rosettes made from an old bed skirt.

And of course my go-to:  blue Ball Jars

Add in a little decorative nest...

and a vintage spoon Scott found in the ground while taking down trees at his parents, paired with an antique tag that I found while cleaning out the "potting shed".

Throw it all together and glue with a glue gun and you wind up with my interpretation of the famous...

Love it.

And so simple to do.

That's the best, isn't it?
