i decided to make a haberdashery themed wreath
with some of my "stash"
i got the idea for it when i was playing with
these stitch counters
i used an embroidery hoop as the base
the red buttons are large '60's coat buttons with a brass loop shank which i fastened between
the two hoops
i then wrapped the tinsel around the hoop and
threaded the large bakelite needles through the tinsel
and skewered the ball of wool
i made two tape measure rosettes which i tied on
and then wired on two pairs of vintage scissors
i wired the stitch markers threadedonto a plastic crochet hook
to the top of the wreath and added a yarn loop.
i'm really pleased with it :0)

I love how you have got the significant December dates (25th and 31st) in the centre of your tape measure rosettes! Was that deliberate or really good luck?
