Rustic Christmas Wreath and Blog Hop

Okay.  I am SO excited to get going on some Christmas projects!  Christmas is my most favorite holiday ever and I love decorating our home for the season.  Today I am teaming up with some other Christmas-loving bloggers for some early holiday wreath inspiration.  I can’t tell you how excited this is getting me!

I went pretty simple with my project and came up with this rustic Christmas wreath.  I have a lot of Christmas decor, so I am trying to reuse as much stuff as I can from my current stash.  The branch wreath was from a fall wreath that I did a few years ago and I picked up the pine garland and pinecones from Michaels last year during their after Christmas sale.  The ribbon is from May Arts.

We really only get a few days of snow around here each year but I love the look of snow covered branches.  It is just so pretty!  Last week I spent the morning, turning a lot of my greenery into DIY snowy branches and this is one of the projects that I used it for.   Using paint and a couple of types of glitter, you can have a magical winter wonderland in no time!  Just head on over HERE for the full tutorial.

Once my branches and pine cones were all painted, I just slid the branches into the wires that were already on the twig wreath.   I then used some hot glue to add a few extra little branches and some pine cones to fill in any bare spots.

It’s nothing fancy, but sometimes simple is the way to go!  I think it will fit in perfectly with my rustic winter theme this Christmas!

Now that you have gotten a little taste of the holidays, check out all of these amazing Christmas wreaths and prepare to be inspired!  So many possibilities! 🙂
