First Christmas Wreaths of the Season

On Saturday I participated in my first-ever craft fair.  The fair was held at my church so it felt very comfortable and it was a great intro to craft fairs.

I focused on creating holiday decor since the fair took place after Halloween and I thought everyone would have Christmas in mind.  I made two different style wreaths to sell at the fair.

The first has a definite vintage vibe.  I picked up the vintage jello tin at a thrift store.  The silvery, sparkly tin just said Christmas to me but I wasn't sure how I was going to use it.  Then it occurred to me the size was perfect for a wreath!
The wreath was snapped up my daughter's preschool teacher so I know it went to a good home!  But  you bet I'm keeping my eyes peeled for more jello tins.

The second wreath I created was the hit of the sale!  I only made one but I have orders to make seven more!
I love that the burlap and sparkle say Christmas in a subtle way.  This wreath is also so versatile - it could work for any season just by switching out the bow!

Have you crafted any Christmas wreaths yet?

Thanks for visiting!
