My favorite wreath I have made so far is my Winter Pom Pom Wreath. You might have caught a peek of it during our Christmas home tour. Anyone can make one of these. Even if you feel like your genetic makeup does not contain the “crafty gene”, I am fairly confident you can make one too. It’s just that easy.

Supplies
– Pipe insulation tube wrapping (I used this as my wreath form.)
– Packing Tape
– White Yarn
– Hot glue gun and glue sticks
– Scissors

First, I removed the plastic seal and taped the ends and center of the pipe insulation together to create a wreath form just like I did for my Corn Husk Wreath. This has become one of my favorite things to use as a wreath form.

Next, I created millions of these little pom poms . Well maybe it wasn’t millions, but it sure felt that way. Adventures of a DIY Mom has a wonderful tutorial with pictures that I followed to make these fuzz balls.

Then, I wrapped the wreath form completely with white yarn. This took a while, but I wanted to make sure none of the black showed through.

After that, I hot glued the pom poms in concentric circles onto the form.

Finally, I trimmed a few of the random stray yarn pieces. (This process really appealed to the hairstylist in me.)

Love, love, love the final look of this wreath! It’s been a great way to add a touch of the snowy winter wonderland that is outside, inside, which is perfect for this time of year.

One of the items on our to-do list for 2015 is to work on our kids’ rooms. Our daughter, Pinky, is going from a little girl to a tween, so her room needs a little updating in the form of functional furniture and decor. Luckily, her space is in pretty reasonable shape and she has inherited my Mom’s childhood dresser and a painted desk (pictured below.)

We got the desk for the amazing price of $FREE.

Hey, I can’t pass up a good deal and the previous owner was just going to throw it away! It was in pretty good condition, minus a few drawer pulls, but we knew we wanted to give it a little pizazz to make it work with the other furniture pieces in Pinky’s room. Plus, it has plenty of drawers, which is great for storing diaries, loom bands, and random love letters, I’m guessing.

Since we couldn’t use the original drawer hardware, I searched high and low, offline and online, and found some fun library pulls. To attach them, we first had to fill in the old holes with wood filler and sand the surfaces.

The entire desk received several coats of primer and paint (Behr Premium Plus Ultra Interior Semigloss Enamel in Polar Bear) applied with a sponge roller. I also used a paint brush to get in a few nooks and crannies, but I like the smooth look the roller delivers, plus it makes everything more time efficient. Bonus!

I had the hubs drill some pilot holes for the new hardware screws…

And we attached the library pulls, along with a few new knobs along the top.

We also bought a piece of plexi-glass, fit to size, to help protect the top of the desk.

Overall, we think it turned out great and most importantly, our daughter is in love with it! She can’t wait to do homework! Seriously!!

And there you have it. The first makeover and update for Pinky’s room. Although there is still some work to do in here, having a workspace for her is a great thing to have marked off the checklist!
