I'm a big yard saler and one of the things I will always pick up at yard sales are wreaths. For a good price of course! It doesn't matter if they have flowers or stuff on them, you can usually pull that stuff off and if there's any bits left on the wreath you can just cover them up with your own embellishments!
I have a mirror by my front door that desperately needed something. So I grabbed one of these grapevine wreaths that I picked up a yard sale recently for a quarter.
I grabbed my hot glue gun & most recent Noel Mignon kit which has some fun summer papers along with some of my own stash & got to work!
I simply made some accordian flowers & embellished with brads, added that fun pinwheel, made a cute little butterfly, added some stickles, then took those cute clothespins & made a little pennant banner.
Originally I tried to just hook those clothespins to the wreath but it just wasn't working out. So in the end I hot glued those to the wreath as well. The only thing that's not glued down is the pennant banner & pinwheel.
And that's it! A cute little wreath to greet visitors at my front door!
And like I said, this wreath is actually hanging in front of a mirror. It just didn't photograph well with all the reflections but here it is in my entryway...
The next project on my list is that lamp shade...and to clean that smudge off the mirror!
