| the rugby season is about to start ... |
day 259 and i am VERY excited because tomorrow the rugby season kicks off and i can't wait. i decided this year we would have some rugby decor about the house, starting with today's creation a rugby ball wreath?!?? not exactly sure what you would call it but i plan to use it like a wreath and show my support for our local super rugby team the blues.
this idea is pinned to my
autumn comfort board and comes from amanda at
my heart's desire. i love how she and her friends got together and made diy decor to support the teams they follow in football, so cool!
we support the blues super rugby team as i mentioned and they are a team made up of the upper north island's best players. as such, my rugby ball had to have a blue's flavour to it and instead of the burlap the girls used to make their's from, i have chosen to do mine in felt. in between the two layers of felt i have used some quilt batting to make it a little more robust and bulky.

| what you need for a rugby wreath thingee! |

| the batting that gives it a bit more substance |

| done, another creation bites the dust! |

| a closer look! |
outcome: this is so cute, such a great idea for a bit of sporting décor in the house! i love that it shows support for our team and is something totally out of the whimsy box i NEVER would have done without pinterest! makes me smile just looking at it :)
my thanks to amanda from
my heart's desire for this neat idea. love how you blogged about it and showed us craft challenged people with limited inspiration a great idea that you can't find on store shelves ... well not in this country anyway!
and as for the prizes from last week, here's a closer look! ...

Such a cute rugby ball! Now you have to figure out how to make it into a hat to wear to games! ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest sheep ever and Atticus and Jem are licking their chops in anticipation! (And I'm secretly glad I didn't win the top prize as all those goodies would do severe damage to my already damaged waistline!)
Such a cute craft! And I love Cadbury! We used to live in England and I would never get tired of it. :)
ReplyDeleteNot happy with the team you are supporting - shouldn't it be black and gold?????
ReplyDeleteWow look at all those goodies!! So many things I havent had for years - cant wait to work my way through the box - yummo!! Thanks once again Kirsty :)
ReplyDeleteheck no, not that team of misfits ;) ooh jen, you could have matched my waistline :(
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I'm not into sport at all so " go the blues" if you say so :0)
ReplyDeleteHow about a smaller version to hang in your car !.... Or is decorating the car something the sport mad Brits do?
