I made a craft for the holiday season. I thought I'd include the instructions along with a picture of my finished craft so that you can all make it as well.
- Step 1: See a cute idea on the internet.
- Step 2: Let coworkers deceive you into believing that you're capable of creating it.
- Step 3: Wait a week.
- Step 4: Show cute idea to your mother. Purchase tulle with her guidance.
- Step 5: Have your mother cut out the tulle into pieces so they turn out correctly.
- Step 6: Leave your mother's house with specific instructions to finish by the end of the night.
- Step 7: Wait three weeks.
- Step 8: Get your craft back out. Re-evaluate your decision to be crafty several times.
- Step 9: Get back to work. Tie loops of the %@# tulle around over and over and over and over.
- Step 10: Run out of pieces after two hours of work.
- Step 11: Cut more pieces.
- Step 12: Finish the wreath while watching cheesy made-for-TV holiday movies.
- Step 13: Smash enormous wreath with a broken TiVo so as to reduce its ridiculous fluffiness.
- Step 14: Wait an hour while continuing to watch cheesy made-for-TV holiday movies.
- Step 15: Hang wreath on inside of door because it is too cold and too late at night to open door.
- Step 16: Take a picture of wreath, just in case it gets stolen when you finally get around to putting it outside.
So, folks, there you have it. A step-by-step tutorial for how to make a Christmas wreath. (Note: some non-essential steps may have been excluded. I'm sure you'll figure them out.)

Fer cute! you should, like, totally demonstrate how to make them for an enrichment activity. look at you, Liz. All grown up and crafty. :)
Way cute, good job. I knew there was a crafty person hiding in there somewhere. Next you'll be making all your own ornaments and selling your wares at craft shows. :)
Very impressed. Remember those Christmas jammies we cut out while you were here, so I could get them done nice and early? Yeah, I haven't touched 'em. 19 days from now I'm hosed. Sweet.
Very cute.
Love it! You're such a pro! I just tried and craft and it didn't go so well - but after evaluating your steps, I realized I forgot the cheesy made-for-TV holiday movies! So I'm going to get back and the craft horse, flip and the TV, and get craftin! ;)
