Our New Mesh Wreaths

We are expanding our horizons here at 3cousincrafts! We have decided to branch out and start making mesh wreaths. We love our tulle wreaths and they are great for so many purposes, but we know that sometimes our customers (and ourselves) want to make a grander statement than a tulle wreath allows.

So, without further ado, we give you our new mesh wreaths!

Thus far, we have focused on fall wreaths. We have created a couple of wreaths that are strikingly similar at this point, but we are getting ready to expand and add additional mesh wreaths.

We can create a wreath to your specifications. Multiple colors are available as well as various embellishments.

Our basic fall wreath is listed as $50 plus shipping/delivery fee. Additional add-ons can be added, such as sunflowers, for additional cost. Please note, that because our wreaths are created to order, that embellishments may differ slightly than these pictures. Embellishments are subject to availability but will be comparable to what you see pictured. Additionally, if you order a customized wreath, we are often able to provide embellishment options for you to choose from.

Contact us to order your mesh wreaths. Let us know exactly what you are looking for and we will work with you to make your vision become a reality.

Stay tuned for Christmas wreaths in the coming weeks!

Halloween (and a tutu sale!!!)

We love our holidays around here. From the decorations to the fun family times and everything in between. One of our favorite holidays is quickly approaching, so we wanted to share a few of the things we can do that can complete your Halloween.

To start, we specialize in creating custom tutus for your child (or you). As detailed in our prior post, we can create these tutus in a variety of sizes, colors, and lengths.

Over the years, we have created tutus to complete costumes such as cats, dogs, and even Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. We would love to create your perfect tutu to complete your outfit.

In addition to tutus, we can also create spooky decor for your home. We have created various Halloween themed wreaths. We can create these wreaths in both styles that we offer. Whether witches, ghosts, spiders, or other creepy crawly inhabitants are your choice of theme, we can do it all.

Contact us today to order your perfect tutu or Halloween wreath.

SALE ALERT!!!! October 1-31 we are offering all infant/child tutus for $20. Additionally, we are offering 20% off adult tutus.

Customization

We strive to make one of a kind creations, tailoring each order to fit the specific needs and visions of the customer. From color selection, to graphic, to embellishments, our customers select and approve everything before we begin creating.

Recently, we had a customer contact us wanting A Nightmare Before Christmas wreath. She was getting married in coming weeks, and also wanted her new last name's initial displayed prominently on the wreath. Neither of us at 3cousincrafts had seen A Nightmare Before Christmas, so we quickly did a google search to help envision the theme for this wreath.

With the help of the customer, we decided on a black, white, and purple color scheme for the wreath. The customer's favorite characters are Jack and Sally and wanted to somehow incorporate them into the wreath. We again turned to google for help, and soon found custom Jack and Sally ribbon on Esty.

With the ribbon in hand, our joined vision of the wreath became clear! The tulle on the wreath would be black and white stripped, with the large whimsical monogram done in purple glitter. The Jack and Sally ribbon would be used to create a large bow at the top, creating the main focal feature of the wreath.

Once the foam was wrapped with the tulle, we began creating the glittery monogram. This is a painstaking slow task, as the letter has to be painted with glue and then glitter applied by hand. All sides of the letter were coated and covered, and then coated and covered again, with drying time in between, The end result is pretty amazing though - and it was certainly a one-of-a-kind whimsical letter!

The ribbon posed a challenge. It was 1" thick grosgrain and alone would not produce a large enough bow to top this wreath and make a statement. We found wider, wire-edged black and white ribbon (in a subtle pattern that would not detract from the Jack and Sally ribbon) and then hot glued the Jack and Sally ribbon down the center of the black and white ribbon. This created a wide ribbon to make a centerpiece bow for the top of the wreath.

Overall, this wreath was one of the more labor intensive that we have completed, but also one of our favorites!

Do you have a favorite movie or book you would like made into a wreath? Let us make your vision come to life!

Tutu & Headband Options

Tutus are actually what started it all for us here at 3cousincrafts. Both of us have daughters and we started our new venture by making tutus for our girls. It wasn't long before we were making them for friends and we had the thought to branch out and start this business.

We have numerous tutu options. We can make them in all sizes from infant to adult. If you would like to order a tutu, you just need to tell us what size and we are ready to go. We can also make them in various lengths. Whether you want one short and fluffy or long and full, we can do it all.

We can also make them in various levels of "fullness" as we call it. We have basic tutus that are a single layer, full tutus that have 2 layers and extremely full tutus that can have 3 layers depending on your preference. In addition, basic tutus can be ribbon wrapped with a ribbon around the top of the tutu for added flair.

In addition to lengths, sizes, and fullness levels, we can make tutus in a variety of colors. Nothing is off limits (subject to tulle color availability). Whether you want a tutu to be all one color, such as a solid black for a cat costume at Halloween, or maybe 2 colors to match your favorite sports team, we can get it done for you.

In addition to tutus, we can make corresponding headbands. We can also make headbands that stand on their own for everyday wear. We actually specialize in two types of headbands/bows. We offer a fluffy bow or a more streamlined bow to fit your personal preferences.

We would love to create a tutu or headband (or both) for your child... or even you.

Wreath Options

Wreaths are just one of the many items that we enjoy creating and love to customize for our customers. As a matter of fact, we actually have more than one style of wreath to fit your personality and vision. Today, we want to share with you the two types of wreath that we create at this time. Wreaths are great for dressing up an outside door or even inside your home. 

It all started with what we refer to as a tutu-inspired wreath. This wreath is fluffier than its counterpart and can be customized to fit any sports team, holiday, or occasion. We can do these wreaths as 12", 10" or 8" (however, with added tulle their size may range 2"-4" more than the base size). We can use as many (or as few) colors as you would like. We can add embellishments such as ribbons, bows, letters, or other fun items to complete your vision.

Eventually, we decided to branch out and bring another wreath option to the table. We started creating more streamlined wreaths. These custom wreaths are typically 10" diameters in the center but the added tulle can make them upwards of 16" in diameter once completed. (Other sizes may be available upon request.) Due to their larger size options, these wreaths are perfect for larger doors or to make a grand statement. These wreaths are great for holidays, sports teams, or anytime. We can also add numerous embellishments such as letters, ribbons, bows, and other items. Just as with our other wreath option, we can use as many, or as few, colors as you prefer.

We have created some general wreaths fitting specific holidays or sports teams, but we have also created custom wreaths to fit a specific customer's vision. We will be sharing more of those wreaths in the coming days. 

If you see a wreath you like, please let us know. Most wreaths can be recreated, subject to embellishment availability; however, we can also create wreaths that fit your personalized vision. Our wreath-making skills are growing all the time and we are constantly trying new options to make different types of wreaths. We will share those wreaths as they become available.

Welcome!

Hi everyone! Welcome to the 3cousincrafts blog! We are excited to have another outlet to share all of our creations with you as well as a little bit about ourselves.

3cousincrafts is run by Julie and Kristen. We are sisters-in-law that share a love of all things crafty. When we started thinking one day about how we both love to create tutus and other fun items (specifically ones that involve using tulle... our specialty), we decided that we would like to combine our crafting minds and create a business creating and selling our creations. Alas, 3cousincrafts was born.

You might ask about our name, so we will explain. 3cousincrafts is named for our 3 children. Our kids love one another and having cousins is awesome, so we wanted to create a name for our business that reflected our family connection. You might periodically see one of our girls modeling a tutu. The one boy of the group isn't as keen on wearing tutus so you probably won't find him being our little model.

Like we stated, our specialty is tulle. We have mastered the art of creating tutus, wreaths, and headbands but we have our eyes on other crafts too. We can also create hairbow holders, graphic art, and other specialty items. One of our goals is to provide customized items for our customers, specific to them.

So, if you are looking for a specific item that you do not see listed, please do not hesitate to contact us so we can work with you to create your personalized tutu, wreath, etc. We will gladly do whatever we can to make your vision a reality.

We hope that you enjoy following along with our new journey. Please do not hesitate to contact us with questions or requests.
