Spring Wreath

April 19th, 2011 | Posted by Sandy Garrett in Tutorials

I had been wanting to add a new Spring Wreath to my entry door and it dawned on me that I had a flower garland that would make a perfect wreath.

The tools needed were minimal.  Just wire pliers and twisty ties (I used some green ones that I bought to tie up some raspberry bushes a few years ago).

The first thing I did was form the garland into a pleasing oval shape and then used the twisty ties to anchor the garland together where it overlapped.

Then I cut off the excess tie and tucked it into the wreath.

Here’s what it looked like from the front.  A bit disheveled.

So I “fluffed” up the flowers and shaped them into a pleasing wreath shape.

I’m so happy with the way it turned out and it was something I already had so it didn’t cost me a thing!  I love it when things work out that way.

Now my front door is all set for Spring – complete with a “brand new” wreath.  I worked on the rest of the entry deck today.  Washed everything up from the winter weather and added some new flowers to a couple of my containers.  Will be posting pictures soon.

Happy Spring (finally!)
