DIY Spring Wreath

Last night, I had the rare opportunity of having nothing to do. The husband was out bowling and I was caught up on all of my homework. What better way to celebrate this free time than making a spring wreath?!

The weather here in Western New York has been brutal. I swear this was the longest winter that I have ever experienced. This past week, though, AMAZING! It's been in the fifties and sixties all week, which pretty much feels like summer time after five months of negative temperatures.

I stopped in Michaels with no intention of making anything. Sometimes, I just like to walk around and enjoy the peacefulness. But if any of you have been in Michaels recently, there is Spring everywhere! There were so many beautiful Spring wreaths, but most of them were at least $50. There was no way that I was going to pay that much for a wreath. I knew I could make one for half that price.

I grabbed all of the items that I needed (a grapevine wreath, fake flowers in white and orange, small burlap flowers, and a huge letter H). Everything ended up being $17, what a steal! After some hot glue and wire, the wreath was complete!

It took a little while for me to arrange the flowers exactly how I wanted them before gluing them on. I also painted the letter H. It was originally all white, but our front porch decorations are orange and navy so I wanted to incorporate the navy somewhere.

I think it turned out really cute! Definitely way better than spending $50. I'll post a picture of the new Spring wreath on the front door soon. I'm working on repainting the front door right now, so I want to wait until it's all done!
