My First Wreath!

I have been searching the world over for the perfect wreath for our front door - with no luck! I just couldn't find that perfect one (OK, so I'm a little picky). So, I decided to try my hand at making one and it was SO easy!

I bought 2 grapevine wreaths at Hobby Lobby for $3 TOTAL! They were half off this weekend. While I was there, I also got 3 rolls of ribbon at $1.50 each (also half off) and a bag of moss for $2 (not half off, but I had a 40% off one item coupon). So, I got everything I needed for $6.50!

Anyway, you take the small grapevine wreath and use Elmer's spray adhesive to glue on the moss. It makes a mess, so do this part outside.

Take the widest ribbon and wrap the large wreath with ribbon, or be creative, do this part however you'd like.

After the small wreath is dry (about and hour or so), use floral wire to secure it to the larger wreath.

Take the other wide ribbon and the one small ribbon and cut them to the length you need for your door. Layer the two ribbons and hang the wreath from the middle of them.

Secure both ends of the ribbons to the top of the door (where it closes) with a tack or t-pin.

Tada! You're done! Told you it was easy! All the wreaths I found on etsy were at least $40 without shipping, so I'd say we saved some money on this project! Yay!

(Don't you just love my little pumpkin! Glama bought him for me this weekend at this great antique store in town.)
