Well, I am finally getting around to finishing my Spring wreath. The weather has not been very Spring-like around here so it is hard to get into the mood! Hopefully this will bring some sunshine out {for more than a day!}
I started with a grapevine wreath from Michaels that I picked up for $3. I then added the flowers by sliding them through the twigs. I did hot glue a couple of the smaller branches but for the most part they were pretty secure without the glue.
I had this metal rod thing {for lack of a better description!} hanging around so I attached it to the back of the wreath with twine.
I picked up the bird house at Jo-Anne’s for $1. I wish I had actually bought a few more. Hopefully they are still there when i go down next time!
I gave it a coat of white paint and did a little sanding. I added some scrapbook paper to the front of the roof and some left over moss to the top. I then tied some hemp around it and added a little twig and a chipboard bird.
For the pennant, I cut out a diamond shape from some scrapbook paper. I scored the diamond in half and attached some hemp with hot glue on the score line. I glued the rest of the triangle together and outlined the border with black pen. The hemp was then tied around the wreath to secure.
Now I just have to figure out where to put it. It is hanging inside right now {I finally took down my snow covered pine cones!!} but I might move it to our door if I can find something else to go up on the wall.
Happy Sunday!!
