Easy Spring Wreath

I hope you all are having an amazing week so far. Today, I'm sharing a fun spring wreath I recently made. It was so easy to make and it's so simple, yet lovely. Perfect for the whole spring season!

This wreath starts with a wreath form (available at craft stores) and burlap ribbon (I got mine at Wal-Mart for less than $3). Begin by wrapping the wreath form with the burlap ribbon. Wrap the burlap tight enough so that it doesn't come loose.

Once you have completely covered the wreath form, cut the excess burlap off and secure the end of the burlap with a few dabs of craft glue or hot glue.

Next is the fun part! Add whatever fun spring embellishments you wish to add: Easter eggs, flowers, etc. I added little birds nests with faux robin eggs-- so perfect for spring. You can find similar nests here and here. Finally, attach a big ribbon for hanging and you're good to go!

Are you ready for Easter?

I'm still finalizing our menu, but other than that, we're good to go!

New Year's Tinsel Garland Wreath

Hello, hello. It's New Year's Eve! I have another New Year's craft to share with you today- a super easy wreath for your front door.

Introducing... the Tinsel Garland Wreath!

I'm usually not a big fan of things that are too sparkly or ultra-feminine, but it's NEW YEAR'S! If you can't have a bit of shimmery girliness on New Year's, when can you???

This wreath will cost you next to nothing, but will provide you with plenty of shimmer and holiday spirit!

Now that Christmas has come and gone, retailers are marking down Christmas decorations- get some tinsel garland and some festive ribbon. Then, head to the crafts section and get a wreath form- either foam or cardboard. You could even make your own!

First, begin by securing one end of the garland on the wreath form. Either knot it or tape it. Next, wrap the garland around the wreath form until the entire wreath form is covered. If you have plenty of garland, you can wrap it tightly- of you only have one pack, wrap it loosely.

Finally, cut a piece of festive ribbon, loop it through the wreath, and either make a knot or a bow!

Feel free to add other embellishments! I personally love how simple it is- just the right amount of sparkly tackiness.


See you in 2014!
