Twig and Twine Covered Planter

John 16:33

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."

Twine

Old planter

Twigs(I used some I bought from Hobby Lobby that were in the floral dept and I cut them to the size I needed)

Hot glue gun

Glue twigs to planter.

Glue twine to twigs.

Add plant! 

I have this in my bathroom window, so cute, so easy!

Dyed Twine Planter

John 15:17

These things I command you, so that you will love one another.

You can dye twine with food coloring and it's beautiful!

Put a few drops of color into enough water to cover twine.

I used green color.

It's hard to tell in the photo, but it's a pale green!

Soak twine until you get desired color.

Hot glue twine to a suitable planter!

Fun With Twine

Mark 11:

28 and they said to him, "By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?"

29 Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

30 Was the baptism of John from heaven or from man? Answer me."

That's right, I said fun with twine!

You know that stuff you see at the hardware store!

I went to the dollar store and bought a plain old glass vase. 

I also used empty wine bottles.

And I also used an old mirror and I wrapped them in twine, using hot glue to secure the twine.

Time consuming but so worth it! 

I got someone to save a Patron bottle for me and I am going to do something to it, unsure what!

Mark 2:17

And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."

These rag wreaths take time to do but are not hard. 

The amount of material you use depends on the size of your wreath. 

I pin( really long pins with a head) my bunched up material to the wreath after I band the folded bottom to make the flower. 

I use a styrofoam form, the extruded ones.

Satisfied

Deut. 30:14

But the word is very near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can do it.

I was not happy with the other spring wreath so I added some greenery. Wow, what a difference!!

Spring Wreath

Matt.20:

26 It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, 

27 and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, 

28 even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

So simple!

Matthew 8:

25 And they went and woke him, saying, "Save us, Lord; we are perishing."

26 And he said to them, "Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?" Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

27 And the men marveled, saying, "What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?"
