"I agree that this is not exactly a wreath, but it's cool (no pun intended) just the same! I like the use of embroidery hoops since they're so inexpensive any more and can be reused later on. It looks like an easy decoration to make that could be used almost anywhere, too!"

"I laughed out loud when it dawned on me what this was made from! I don't know if I have ever seen anything like it before, but it certainly has an "old fashioned" look about it. I have a cut glass butter dish, so this one wouldn't work, but maybe a silvery one or something similar would!"

"These would be really cute to go with the tiny mittens I made. I don't know why miniatures like that are so appealing, but they are and they look so cute on a Christmas tree! I have a lot of leftover yarn in various shades of Christmas-y colors and this looks like a really quick project!"

"You have got to be kidding! That sound you just heard was me doing a forehead slap. Why didn't I think of this? It's so cute, easy and won't cost much at all to make. The grand kids will love it. Done one was really on their game when they came up with this one!"
