Let’s say goodbye to the festive wreath on the front door and change things up for Spring.
Today there are rain showers and there is mud in the backyard. Even though there is some snow still on the ground we are all ready for Spring. I heard my first robin singing its song yesterday, so I know that Spring is just around the corner.
I invested in a good quality green multi-seasonal wreath at Home Sense a few years ago. It is such a versatile piece. I find I can make it last through Spring and Summer with some little changes.
With three easy steps I came up with a great Spring look. First I added some simple yellow faux flowers from the Dollar Store. Second, I added in some sprigs of little berries in green and cream tones that I had on hand. And lastly, a little ‘Welcome Spring’ sign from Micheals. Voila; a Springy new wreath for the front door!
Happy Spring everyone! Bring on the puddles, rainbows, and Spring flowers!
In an earlier blog post I documented the process of creating this felt flower wreath. I am now sharing with you the final reveal.
I have a couple of tips to share with you for assembling the final product. The hoops were fairly skinny so there was not a lot of surface to glue onto. The solution that I came up with, was to back the area where I was glueing. I used a piece of felt that was the same shape and created a base to glue it to. This gave the flowers something to adhere to in addition to the metal ring. It was very successful.
After adding the flowers with a glue gun I added in some foliage to fill in the empty spaces. Using different colours of green I added free cut leaves around the flowers to complete the look.
