Spring Wreath

My tulips are about 5 inches out of the ground

 I have little buds forming on all of my trees

My days are filled with sunshine and rain

 This all means one thing, Spring is on it’s way!

I love Spring!

To celebrate springs arrival I decided I needed a new wreath for our front door.

So I created this simple, yet pretty one here:

 All of the adornments came from the dollar store.

Here is what I picked up:

– One bag of mixed mosses

– One bag of raffia

– One strand of green leaves

– One bunch of faux white daffodils

The Dollar store had a wide verity of different flowers, mosses, etc. 

 I chose to go with a white and green with a natural look.

I already had this wreath here:

 Then I just started adding all of my adornments.

First I added the green leaves, and then I tucked in all of the flowers.

*Tip: I used baggy twist ties to wire it all down.  They are the perfect size and work well when you don’t have floral wire on hand.

 Next I created a little nest using the dried grass that was mixed in with the bag of moss.

And the last  thing I did was loosely wrap the raffia around the wreath. It added an almost realness to it, almost like a bird might really come make a home in my wreath.

 But, I sure hope one doesn’t.

 I have hung the wreath on my front door, and I think it makes for a warm welcome.

Thanks for stopping by today,
