The most hated craft EVER!

OK, this is my last Easter project. I hated this one and I don't recommend anyone ever do it.

I had planned to do two of these but only ended up doing the one. It still needs some more of those nuts but it is good enough for now.
If you could do this project on about three glasses of wine, it may be alright. Since I didn't have any wine, I substituted water and it was SO not the same.

With the wreath laying on a table you just start gluing nuts in a giant circle. I know, it seems easy, I think it should be easy and it may be easy for someone else. Everything started in a nice circle and then those nuts just broke rank and went every which way. I like to think of it as living outside the circle.

It is hard to place nuts when your fingers are covered in third degree glue burns because the hot glue is EXACTLY the same color as the wreath, so you keep putting your fingers in hot glue. Over and over again. Soon you have quite the collection of nuts stuck to your hands and not so many stuck to the wreath. If only I could have found a way of hanging my hands from the front door in a less than painful way, I so would have.

Round and round and willy wonky we went. Those nuts and I. Then I ran out of glue. Go figure, this project takes at least 15 glue sticks. I had twelve. Off to suburban hell, the kid went. Glue returned (and the kid). Back to work I went.

Tried to keep the kid from eating those stupid nuts but I had to bribe him to hold the, by this time deeply hated, wreath. I needed to do the edges and that was next to impossible with the wreath laying on its side. So now it is done.

I wrapped the ribbon around the wreath. Resisting the urge to wrap the ribbon around my neck for even doing such a stupid craft. Hung the wreath on the front door. When I regain my love for either crafting or hot glue, I will finish adding the rest of the nuts.

But for now, it is fine. I tell you though, one outdoor animal attempts to eat a single nut, he is SO going down.
