Beautiful Fall Wreath

 

  This has been one of my favorite wreaths to make. It was so simple. No glue, just pliers to cut the berries and that was it! I bought a grapevine wreath and just randomly stuck the berry twigs into the wreath. I LOVE IT!! JoAnn Fabrics currently has all of their fall florals 50% right now so that made making this wreath super cheap.

In the picture above  you see a moss covered letter R. I was going to hang this from the middle of the wreath but didn't like how it looked so I took it off. It was too small. I might try to find a larger one. I'll let you know if I do. :0

Aren't these the prettiest little branches? I fell in love with them right away when I saw them in the store. About five of them were connected onto one branch. I originally stuck each bunch onto the wreath. It didn't look good so I cut them apart and liked it a lot more. It actually made the wreath look fuller.

I would love to see any of your fall wreaths that you have made.  Send me the link or a picture. Hope everyone is having a great start to your Fall. Have a great weekend!

Simple Summer Burlap Wreath

 

 I love the way this wreath turned out! I wanted something simple & bright for our summer wreath and using these bright yellow flowers on a simple burlap wreath I think I got just that. :) I know that I am late putting up my summer wreath in mid July but life has just gotten away from me these days. And to make it worse when I went to the craft store to buy supplies they had their autumn decorations on 30% off already!?!?!? WHAT!!!  It made me feel really behind. But I think I'm ok because I can have this cute thing up into early autumn because of its colors. That I love! ;)

Supplies Needed:

• Burlap
• Flowers
• a ready made wreath
• Hot glue
• Scissors

Directions:

• Wrap the burlap around the wreath. Hot gluing it together in the back to seal it together.
• Cut the flowers off of the stems.
• Hot glue the flowers to the wreath wherever you would like them.
• Make a hook on the back of the wreath using left over burlap.

It's that easy y'all!! I would love to see what summer wreaths you have created. Have a great day. :)

Charming Spring Wreath

So, I have been seeing wreaths, center pieces, and many other decor items with the use of large lettering wrapped in yarn, scrapbook paper, etc... And some I have seen wrapped in moss, which I have fallen in love with! So springy!! So, after many months of contemplating what I wanted to make and after looking at some inspiring pictures I decided to make a wreath with the letter R on it, which is the first letter of our last name Ritz. :) This wreath was super easy and fun. Below is how I put it together.

First I wrapped my grapevine wreath in burlap.

Then I bought a wooden R and wrapped it in moss.

I bought moss with a sticky back for easy placement on R.

I traced around the R on the back side of the moss. I made it a little bit larger so that I could fold it over the edge of the R and you wouldn't see any of the wood.

Folding the moss over the R.

I found these cute flowers that I wanted to hot glue to my R.

So CUTE!!

I hot glued my R to the wreath and stuck some spring flowers behind the R.

I loved the way it turned out! Isn't it charming!?!? :)

I hope everyone has a blessed day. :)

Spring Front Door Basket

I've had the same wreath on my front door ALL winter and I wanted something fresh & new, and I wanted tulips. So yesterday I headed off to Michael's craft store and found that all their Ashland flowers were 50% off!! YEA!! For me! :)
I already had the container that I had bought at a Southern Living party a few years ago. So, I took that with me and tried different colored tulips until I found that I had the perfect color and number for the basket. I'm also glad that I took the basket into the store because I realized that the flowers were too short and needed something inside to give them a lift over the basket. So I also bought some green Styrofoam to put in the bottom of the basket.
I love the way the arrangement turned out. :) So pretty!

Happy Spring Everyone!!
