Turns out the pool noodle was not the best choice to use as a wreath form for this particular project. The jute & sisal I used was way too heavy and after only a little bit of time caused it to sag, giving it an egg shape.
But, I really love this wreath and decided to try to save it. Using an Exacto knife, I carefully sliced all the shells and felt flowers off the front and sliced all the jute & sisal off the noodle. It was not fun, but I wanted to re-use all my supplies if I could. And, bonus, I was able to catch up on some tv and movies while I did it. Multi-tasking.
I bought this straw wreath form and got to hot glueing away.
Ahhh...much, much better. No more eggy wreath.

L-O-V-E this!! It sounds like it was a lot of work redoing it so it wouldn't be "eggy", but it turned out beautifully! Fabulous job, nicely done! ;*)
