30 Days Of Creativity - Purple - Project 10

They say if you wear a lot of the colour purple and often, you are somewhat sexually frustrated. I gather this be of the female species. How contratictory since men tend to have a higher sex drive.

For this theme - Purple, I used a batch of purple craft buttons from Crazy Crafts to made a small wreath. I love floral wire for crafting as it is so easy to work with and it's uses endless. I decided on using the floral wire vs ribbon or stretch thread as the wire allowed shape changes and held whichever shape best.
Uses for the small wreath - curtain tie, Christmas ornament, tied to the ceiling fan string as a handle with extra length.

I've added a few facts about the colour Purple too:
