Betsy, a good girlfriend of mine from high school lives just a few houses down from me. You may remember when I first got my sewing machine for Mother’s Day this year, I whipped up a few pillows. Betsy immediately commissioned me to make some spring pillows for her front porch. I’ve made her a couple sets of pillows so far and she has loved them!
Now that it is football season and I have been busy crafting my Gator stuff, Betsy has asked me to make her a few FSU things. I’m telling you, it’s hard being a Gator in Seminole country! But I don’t mind. She knew she wanted an FSU rag wreath and some FSU pillows. A couple trips to JoAnn’s later and here’s what I whipped up…..
This wreath is so super cute! I have made a few fabric rag wreaths for various holidays, but our other girlfriend in the neighborhood made an FSU one like this so Bets knew that’s what she wanted! I used one of the 3-tier wire wreath forms from Hobby Lobby. I only tied the fabric strips on the first and last ring. Make sense? It’s really full and really didn’t take too long to make.
Now for my favorite! The pillows! I am in love with how these turned out, despite the colors!
I. Love. Them! I followed this tutorial and they were so super easy!!
So that’s it! I’m off to make some Fall pillows for my front porch!
Do you have a favorite football team? Have you made any crafts to show your team spirit? I’d love for you to share!!
Have a great day!
