Baby Shower Announcment Wreath

So my friend and co-worker Britney is having a baby girl in a few short weeks. We are throwing her a baby shower at work next week and I've been a busy bee making a few decorations for the shower. This is my first time to throw a baby shower so I am super psyched. Check out this super cute yarn wreath I made for her. The idea is that we can use it to decorate for the shower and then she can keep it and hang it on the hospital door once the baby arrives!

It took a little longer than I thought, but it was super easy. First, I wrapped a wreath form in yarn, overlapping in sports where it needed it. Just keep wrapping and wrapping. This is where I should warn you that your arm may feel like it is going to fall off, but keep on wrapping.
Next, I used my trusty Cricut to cut out a banner with her name. The paper matches her bedding. I used the Accent Essentials cartridge for the background and StoryBook font.

Then, I made a few felt flowers from this EXCELLENT tutorial from EmilySoutherland.com.She used a t-shirt material for hers, but I used felt.

Finally, I painted a wooden piece I picked up at Michael's for 75 cents. I painted it white, and then painted the front with chalkboard paint so that Britney can change the message as she wishes!

I'm super excited at how this turned out. Next time I will be a little more careful in choosing my wreath form because this one looks a little lumpy, but other than that I can't wait to give it to her at her shower!

I'm considering putting these in my etsy shop. What do you think??
