deck the walls with wreaths of tin.

Handmade082 It turned out! My hammering and waiting-for-glue-to-dry-patience were worth it. Because of all the hammering, this one is a little more complicated (and louder) than the cardboard.
Handmade0822 I was a little worried it would turn out too trashy, but I think the colors help keep it festive. And I refrained from adding a glaring Miller Lite cap because, let's be honest, nothing says "Bah-humbug" like cheap beer. I do, however, think that a nice coat of white or green paint could work wonders if you are working with some not so fabulous colored caps.
Handmade0823 The whole wreath is held together with some chipboard and oodles of PVA. PVA dries clear so I just globbed it on until everything held together.

I seriously am going to have a wall of wreaths this Christmas. And then come January it will be my wall of calendars. Paul is so excited.

Have a great Friday - I am work at the new Paper Source Annapolis. Come visit!

My name is Elise Blaha Cripe. I live in Northern California with my husband and our two daughters.

I make stuff like it's my job.

In October 2019, my book about getting stuff done, Big Dreams, Daily Joys hit bookstores everywhere. For almost ten years, this blog was where I shared (daily!) general life musings, insight into being a small business owner and the occasional craft project. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]elisejoy.com if you have any questions about a post you see here.

If you're new here, I invite you to browse the archives, read my small business story or start with some of my favorite things to write about, DIY home decor & goal-setting. You can also listen to my motivational speech about the power of making bold statements.
