To Wreath or Not to Wreath

CIMG9301I had this green wreath from last year that had a few simple bows.  It was time for something different.  But please know I have never really put a wreath together before.  I usually take a pre-made wreath, meaning beautiful, embellished, and ready to hang….and THEN I add to it.  So this year I was a strong girl and did my best to put one together from scratch only with items I already had.  CIMG9294Hello!  Can you see me??? CIMG9295I really scored with these white ornaments that I had bought from Ikea after Christmas last year.  They were dirt cheap and have been in a box ALL year.  So they finally got put to use (so much for that whole, I am going to work on Christmas projects sometime within the other 11 months of the year).  I used wire instead of hot glue because that is what I had and I tend to change my mind a lot (don’t really plan these things out very well) and glue would have made for a hot mess.  There she is.  If I can do it, you can too!  Go fluff a wreath now!

    Great job, Ashley! Okay, you've inspired me to do something a little more interesting to my wreath with the boring red bow, that I hang on my front door, year after year! I guess I need to scrounge through my supplies and see what I have on hand. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Good job, now I'm thinking my wreath is looking a little sad. Hmmm, better go fluff it.

    Ooo, this turned out great! I made my own wreath two years ago but yours is far better! I love how the photo has your reflection in the bell ornament-too cute! :)
