Spring Wreath

Posted by melissa on Mar 9, 2014 in crafts, front door, wreaths | 24 comments

Tell me that your weekend has been full of sunshine…

…and birds chirping…

…and kiddos running and playing!

Tell me that you’ve been able to fling your windows wide open!

Tell me that you’ve enjoyed the Spring like my family has this weekend!

IT. HAS. BEEN. TOTALLY. REFRESHING.

And while the girls jumped and laughed…

…I cleaned out my garden shed…

…and made a wreath.

Here’s how you can make one yourself!

You’ll need:

2 stems of garland greenery

1 bush of a medium size flower

1 hydrangea bush

2 more hydrangea blooms in another color

2 long twiggy stems

Add the 2 garland greenery stems to a grapevine wreath,

working in opposite directions.

Cut the hydrangea to where they have about 6″ stems,

and add to the top.

Pull the flowery bush apart,

and add the pieces to each side of the hydrangea.

Last step is to add the twiggy branches to each side of the hydrangea.

And there you have one beautiful new Spring wreath!

Now I’ve got to get back outside…

…there are bushes to be trimmed…

…and furniture to be painted…

…and this Spring weather has made me feel ALIVE again!

Life to the full!

Melissa

Wow! That Wreath is refreshing! It’s still in the 40’s in the PNW but we had Sun today and that in itself is always a blessing~

Thanks for sharing your Beautiful Wreath~

Beautiful wreath. I have to make a new wreath for this Spring. We are still in the 20’s & 30’s yet here in NE Pennsylvania. But it was 50 yesterday. I just had to get out. Went thrift store shopping. And enjoyed the warm weather. We still have snow on the ground. I think that it will be July before it all goes away! HAHA Thanks for the wreath.

I am so jealous. We had a cold, dreary day with a high of 34. I am so anxious for some warm weather. I love your big wreath- it is beautiful! xo Diana

Beautiful wreath Melissa! You’ve inspired me to pull apart an old and tired arrangement and re-purpose it. Hey, sounds like a good blog post! Blessings to you my friend,
Patti

P.S. Mr. and I are in the process of looking to transfer from the west coast to the southeast. Investigating job opportunities in TN, NC, and SC. It could be a long process but one day I would love to meet you for a cup of that famous sweet tea!

The reason beingfor this, is that Yahoo and various other
search engines take note to how long your domain name is registered for as one
of the pieces to their algorithm for how they will rate your website.

Earlier, there were not many options in the hairstyle or the accessories used to
beautify the same. The lip and eye makeup generally depends on the time
and palace of your wedding so you have to learn the appropriate makeup for different times and venues.
