So I've jumped on the 'ol band wagon. I've pinned, I don't even know how many, wreaths on Pinterest. I suppose for inspiration? There are some amazing ones out there! Finally I made my first wreath just before the holidays. I wasn't looking for something that would take too much time, & I wanted to be able to keep it up for a while, since I made it just before Christmas. I didn't want to have to take it down with all my other holiday decor. I love how it turned out, & feel like it's something I could have up any time of the year! Better yet, it didn't cost very much to make. I had an old wreath on hand that was made of the twig variety, not sure if these have a real name :0) But the colors didn't go with my style anymore. I cut off all the old flowers & pine cones (wishing I had taken a before pic) and added some hydrangeas & floral picks I bought on sale at JoAnn Fabric & Craft Store. All I did was trim down the stems with some wire cutters & stuck them in wherever looked good to me! I'm not a big fan of wreath hangers, so I bought a Command Hook from Walmart, like this one & stuck it to my door window. So far it has held up great! I was a little concerned about the weather, it has been known to snow in North Idaho, freezing temps, all that good stuff. But a month later, lots of slammed doors, rain, snow, negative temperatures, & it's still holding strong!
And here it is! I really do love it.
Have you tried any of those amazing wreaths out there yet?
