I like how you can reuse it year after year, or you can maybe cover up the black (so the ends don't show) and gift it!Alvinahttp://theorangecoffeecup.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221719422844320229.post-90989552652183258932011-12-01T03:08:18.411-05:002011-12-01T03:08:18.411-05:00i agree with rycrafty - it looks like the section ...i agree with rycrafty - it looks like the section of the wreath is what is accounting for the measurement discrepancies. still, though - it shouldn't be up to the crafter to notice these things , there should be clear direction - and those poinsettia "instructions" are ludicrous! i HATE unncessary work and pointless extra steps! your wreath looks great, though :)Tinknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221719422844320229.post-89030280714887211762011-11-30T21:59:13.305-05:002011-11-30T21:59:13.305-05:00It still turned out great!

Looking at the picture of their wreath, it looks like their wreath form is half-circle shaped in section, while yours is rectangular - maybe that helps with the 7" vs 9" length? Still doesn't explain the rest of the instructions.<br /><br />Freezer paper is brown paper on one side and waxy on the other, great for making homemade fabric stencils, and I have a huge roll in my kitchen. :) I also use it for covering up my table when I'm working with paint or spray glue.rycraftynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221719422844320229.post-50040741838557713182011-11-30T16:51:54.183-05:002011-11-30T16:51:54.183-05:00Ahhhh the end result was so worth it though!

That is really too bad about the confusing instructions, and I agree that the writers and editors working on these pieces need to do a much more solid job ensuring the integrity of the info they're publishing. In my experience as an editor, I've definitely overlooked things and made mistakes from time to time, as I'm sure everyone has, but at the end of the day, everything you publish is a reflection of your reputation and brand. Do they have place to comment or share your thoughts? If I were you, I would do it. I know that if I were the editor for those pieces, I'd definitely want to know if readers were unhappy! Maybe they should hire you to write the tutorials instead. :)Heatherhttp://www.highheelsflipflops.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221719422844320229.post-89844166415879818932011-11-30T12:31:05.882-05:002011-11-30T12:31:05.882-05:00Your wreath is adorable!

I love Martha Stewart's recipes (can't ever go wrong), but her craft tutorials are definitely lacking in photos and instructions. She also over-complicates things, just like BH&G. I'm loving non-traditional Christmas colors this year - our apartment is decked out in hot pinks and greens right now :)Kimnoreply@blogger.com
