It’s been a long time since I made a new wreath totally from scratch.
I like to reuse and recycle so I usually can find what I need around here somewhere.
Not this time.
I had in my head what I wanted it to look like so off to Hobby Lobby I went.
I got a 24 in. grapevine wreath
and this garland, both half price.
I talked about this moss I discovered
when I was shopping for my bunny nest.
I had some left and I had the wire.
I found the watering can at JoAnn.
I have had the nest for years and just added moss.
I have burlap ribbon in the pic (but I ended up not using it.)
I attached the garland to the wreath using the wire.
I twisted, cut them off and tucked the rough end under.
I wired on the watering can
and used hot glue to attach the nest and eggs.
The green garland shows up
great from the street and pops off the blue door.
Thanks to our mild winter
the ivy in my planters never died.
I watered it a little and it’s growing again.
Crazy.
I figure this look will get me to summer.
Don’t you think?
More Spring Wreath Inspiration!
Thanks for stopping by!

Lizabeth @ Infuse With Liz says
Tuesday, March 27, 2012 at 8:00 pmAwesome! You did a great job! The nest and watering can are adorable! Love it!
I saw a "flat basket" type that I want. I don't have a lot of room between my front door and the storm door so it has to be skinny! I didn't like it's decor so much but your idea gave me inspiration to fix it! Thanks for sharing!

Tuesday, March 27, 2012 at 7:21 pmI love your garden style wreath! I think homemade wreaths are the best anyway. They're a reflection of the homeowner. Love how you used that watering can on there. I would've never thought to do that. So charming!

Grace @ Sense and Simplicity says
Monday, March 26, 2012 at 10:45 pmSuch a pretty wreath – it should take you through to fall if you ask me. I still have my winter wreath up, but I've almost worked up the motivation to take it down and put something else up. I love your giveaway, but am a little sad – sniff, sniff – that it is only open to people in the US (although I completely understand). Looking forward to seeing the rest of the porch.
KATHY says
