Christmas Mess-terpiece & Grinch

 

My projects don't always turn out the way I want and that's okay. This one turned out not to be what I wanted. (You'll see it down further)

I'm still trying to get rid of some of my craft stash I have on hand before buying anything new.

I had spoons that I'd bought years ago for a craft project and decided I'd make a holiday door wreath titled Silver Singers. These would be spoons with senior citizens singing Christmas Carols.  All materials would be whatever I had on hand.  

I USED : spoons, felt, red tulle, permanent markers, glitter, mini song books, pipe cleaners, hot glue, acrylic paint, precut wooden shapes, precut sticky letters.

 
The King's Ranch Thrift store was having a 50% off storewide sale. I bought this wreath and ribbon for $4.00. I removed the harvest decoration and proceeded to wrap it with the ribbon.
Silver Singers turned out to be just plain Silver, Gold, Joy.
I made musical symbols out of pipe cleaners and wooden shapes.
This didn't turn out well. It's too busy and pretty much looks thrown together. I showed it to a friend and while she didn't say it looked like crap, she did say it looked "interesting."😀 That's okay. So this did not go on my front door, it did go on the back door where no one can see it. After all, I did take a lot of time to prepare this mess-terpiece. 😆
TIP: Metal and hot glue don't play well together. I had to put tape on top of the glue.
