I sometimes bring my completed projects to my office to display. I like to get opinions from my coworkers to see what looks good, what needs improvements, etc. They're very honest, and not afraid to hurt my feelings.
This month, I decided to display my New Year's Wreath (for obvious reasons). Well, I had 4 separate people ask me who died. So apparently it is not a cheerful wreath, as intended. So I'm going to try to come up with something to improve it. But in the meantime, I needed to come up with a new wreath to hang at work! I didn't have anything at home appropriate for the current weather/holidays, so I decided I'd make a Packers wreath, as most of my coworkers are fans.

I didn't want to do anything too crazy or expensive for this wreath, since I was just doing it to appease my coworkers. I happened to have a broken styrofoam core, so I decided I'd use that (it was just broken at the seam, I glued it back together and I don't even think anyone can tell!). I did use some of my good tulle (kelly green, butter, and diamond white). But I didn't put any embellishments on. My coworkers are mostly men, so I thought embellishments would create extra criticism (I was wrong, they requested a cheesehead added on).

Now, I'm not licensed to sell NFL merchandise, so this wreath is not for sale. But it is another example of the designs I can do. So if you want a specific color combination (with or without embellishments), let me know!
