DIY Summer Wreath

Finally it's here - my DIY project I promised you to post a little while ago.

Things you'll need:

•  Faux flowers (for this one I used daisies, tiny sunflowers and lavender) and leves
•  Glue gun and glue sticks
• Burlap ribbon
• Sheer light green ribbon (I used light green for two reaasons:  a) the woman who wanted this wreath has light green paited facade and b) I thought it went well with the overall concept of the wreath)
•  and of course, wreath base

Wrap the burlap around the base. Mine was aprox. 25-30 cm in diameter and I used 6 m of burlap ribbon.

I added light green ribbon on three spots. The top one had two pieces "sticking" out, ao it could be hanged on the door.

I started adding the faux flowers. Just pick one spot and start adding them a bit randomly. I didn't cover the whole wreath with flowers.

I kept adding flowers and leaves 'till I was happy with it ( in all honesty, I didn't buy enough flowers so I had to plan carefully). During the process I asked my mum for opinion few times, simply because no one was ever hurt by hearing a second opinion ;) 

And here is final result. (I made  a tiny bow from leftover green ribbon and glued it on the wreath)

UPDATE: The woman I was making this for really liked it. Yay!

ZOO Ljubljana

I've been working as a volunteer in ZOO Ljubljana since mid-March. 

It's fun but also hard work and I've learned quite a bit. There are few things that I can do to help around (with other volunteers); mostly cleaning animals' poop, cleaning windows and so on. This also means that I get to go in the enclosures - sometimes animals are in them (zebras, alpacas, zebus, farm animals, antelopes (I think they are lechwe antelopes)) and some are not (camels, giraffes, ostriches, cheetah).

 Here are few photos that I took while working or when I had breaks.

Hope you like them :)

Geting Started

Hello everybody! 

So, I finally decided to start posting up here. First big thing will come up next week (a DIY summer-wreath) but I have to upload the photos to my laptop first (and that won't happened until next Monday at least - so more than a week from now).

For now this is it, wish me luck!

Love, Anja
