My apologies for months of silence (work + personal life have been the craziest), but I'm finally back on blog bandwagon (hopefully), with a few new posts to share!
I've recently put together a new wreath for springtime! If you remember, this is what I've had on my door since February.
So winter-y, right? And this is what the door is sporting now...
Spring-y!
I know you want to know how I did it! I randomly stumbled into Hobby Lobby back in February (I've now forgotten what for), and I saw that artificial flowers were half off! If that isn't a sign to start a new wreath, I don't know what is. So, I collected some sprigs of greenery, a new grapevine wreath (which were super cheap), and some wired ribbon and got to work!
I started with the necessities: a hot glue gun and glue sticks, and floral wire.
I chose these sprigs because they looked "spring-y" to me. After gathering my supplies, I removed all the small white flowers from their bases, the green berry sprigs, and some of the covered wire, curling them into tighter loops.
I attached the white flowers around the wreath with hot glue as evenly as I could...
Then the berry springs and wire twists...
Creating this!
I left a gap in the bottom, where I knew I wanted to attach my bow. Next, I got my "hops-like" sprigs and removed the little flower balls so that I could place them exactly where I wanted them.
At this point, I hung the wreath on the wall to see exactly where I needed the flower balls. After lots of standing back, looking, hot glue burns, and tons of flower balls later, I came up with this...
Using the floral wire, I attached my bow...
And voila!
I plan on adding some larger flowers closer in to the summer (maybe magnolias?) to make this wreath look a little fuller! What do y'all think? Do you make a wreath for your door every season?
Until next time!
