Wayfair UK And My Christmas Wreath Tutorial

You may remember a little while ago me telling you that I had been approached by Wayfair UK to produce a “crafty” tutorial using some of their products.......  http://itsallfiddlefart.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/wayfair-uk.html
Wayfair DIY Christmas Wreath Table CentrepieceAs I said then, I was a little apprehensive at first, explaining that my usual “stamping ground” for finding bits and pieces for upcyling projects were mainly charity or Poundshops, but in the end I was eventually cajoled into producing a little something……….
Putting the instructions together for the tutorials wasn’t too hard, it was just like a blog post but by numbers, however I really struggled with the photos, not only having to match them up to a strict template, but also in the staging, something I have never done before.  When I blog a project it’s a matter of getting up as close as I can on a plain background, no fuss, no frills, no background, but as you’ll see, if you pop over to the "Inspiration" section of Wayfair's website I really had to dress things up!  So a lot of lessons learned and next time I am staying in London with Marc, I need to get his partner Iain to take me in hand and show me just how to stage like an expert!!!
