craft: nut wreath preview

I've been on a wreath kick lately. I have made A LOT of wreaths. And to the dismay to my husband, I made most of them before we moved to Arizona. "Wife. Why did you make so many wreaths for us to pack and move?"

After we moved into our house, one of said wreaths became disfigured. I followed the advice of a pin and used a pool noodle to make a nut wreath. I totally love the idea of a pool noodle as a wreath form because:

1) they're cheap

2) they're cheap

Unfortunately, the nuts I used were too heavy for the form and bent it completely out of shape. True to myself, I instantly gave up on that project and threw it away. Again to my husband's dismay, he wondered why I didn't try bending the form back in place. I did try a whole 5 minutes and when it instantly didn't bend back into place I threw it out.

Fast forward to today. I made my whole family walk up to a local park and collect an ice cream gallon bucket full of these nuts. I have no idea what they are, but they're cool and will make a fantastic wreath. This time, I'll get a heavier form.
