Handmade Store: Sandys Wreath Boutique

How I got my start with creating wreaths was during the pandemic. My husband said that our front door needed something to make it pop when viewing it from the road. I had nothing on the door or near the front door to make the area inviting. I knew if my husband was complaining about this, I'd better get to work!!

I had a wreath that I hung on my front door for years but it was old, faded, and so tired looking. I took it apart and went on Youtube to research ideas on how I could recreate my wreath. This was my first time exploring Yo tube so you can imagine how overwhelming it was. I was hooked! I found so many great tutorials and people to follow and learn from. My first wreath that I created was a 4th of July wreath for my front door. It was far from perfect but I made it! That's something I thought I could never do-be creative.

My mom taught me to crochet at the age of 10. She was my inspiration and she still is. I have learned so much from her. My first project was a beautiful rose petal pillow I gave my 5th grade teacher for a Christmas gift. She absolutely loved it. I remember how I felt when I gave it to her. Ever since that day, I have enjoyed making gifts and giving them to family and friends.

I have made countless baby blankets and afghans over the years. Those are projects I have always enjoyed to make. They are a bit time consuming but so worth it in the end.

I enjoy making wreaths because each one is different and unique. I can do custom made wreaths or can even make the wreath from a picture. A wreath generally takes me an afternoon to complete or maybe 2 days at the most. Best of all, my wreath making is therapeutic. I am so thrilled when people purchase my wreaths because they will be enjoying something I created!

If you purchase one of my creations, I hope you enjoy it!
