It held up pretty well, but my wreath is also pretty small. I made a yarn-wrap wreath and then tried to make some spider webbing inside it (which is pretty Pinstrosity-worthy).<br /><br />I think what helped mine hold up was the tight wrapping, small size, and the yarn tying together the middle.Mixedpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14270052794543428169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-33834680227653588562012-11-10T19:22:48.795-07:002012-11-10T19:22:48.795-07:00Thanks for the kind comments.

I'll definitely be rescuing this - whether I find a good deal on a wreath form or just make it smaller - and hey, at least I got a Pinstrosity out of it! ;-P Thanks for featuring me!Naominoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-63496190296050529292012-11-09T14:08:32.209-07:002012-11-09T14:08:32.209-07:00Oh, I have seen this thing happen all too many tim...Oh, I have seen this thing happen all too many times. My friends, who aren't experienced crafters, love to go off the plan and start changing things up without testing. In the original pin the wreath form is only 10" in diameter, that is one of the main reasons it looks so much fuller. Naomi could still save the project by finding a smaller wreath on sale and reusing the socks. No need to scrap the whole thing.J.

My wreath sagged, but it sagged uniformly, so it is more oval, which I find acceptable. I even tried to prepare for the sagging by double taping where the ends meet and hanging it with that part at the bottom, so as not to put extra stress on it.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11538622378507938078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-15677401542330205892012-11-09T12:45:37.229-07:002012-11-09T12:45:37.229-07:00Oh what a sad little wreath!

You can usually get them with a Michael's or a Jo-Ann's coupon at 40% off! Just keep your eyes open!!<br /><br />Great job! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
