Busy is a “four-letter word.”
At least it is this time of year.
How many posts in the past few days have I started out
with…“our decorating is almost done?”
Well, I was wrong. All those times. 😀
But with God’s will and some sunny skies…
I really do think I can wrap things up tomorrow.
Because we are all so incredibly occupied right now –
I thought I would share this simple and oh-so-easy to create
Busy Girl’s Easy 3-Step Christmas Wreath
I am not one who usually takes the easy way out.
As you know, I flip houses when I am not up to my eyeballs
in garland and glitter and then blogging about it.
I have learned that taking the easy way out isn’t always
the best route to take.
But, when it comes to wreaths… easy is another
“four-letter word” that I like.
Plus, when the wreath turns out looking amazing – and like you
spent a wallet full of Washingtons – even better!
I started with a plain ole’ (shall I say it?) “cheap” wreath.
Actually, it was one I already had on hand and had kinda seen
it’s better days.
Next, I purchased a pretty garland.
I will tell you I splurged on the garland a bit.
I did get it half-price at Hobby Lobby, though. But since I
used a wreath I already had on hand I was still ahead.
The style of this garland totally blends with the “snowy” Christmas
theme we have going on throughout our home.
Next – I laid the garland on top of the wreath and using
some of the wreath’s tendrils, I adhered the garland to it.
You could also use some green floral wire.

Once it’s attached, just do a bit of fluffing.
The third and final step is totally optional.
Adding a bow.
Would you like to know how I make my bows?
I promise it’s the fail-proof “no bow skills required” method
for making bows.
Let me know by commenting below and I will even try to
make a little how-to video.
That’s it.
3-Steps and you have an amazing wreath you own the
bragging rights to.
I hung this wreath in our front Living Room window, which
I will be revealing to you tomorrow.
So you can go from this to that…
… in the same amount of time you can brew a cup of
Cinnamon-Vanilla Coffee.
Here is another quick peak of my Living Room…
Isn’t he beautiful?
I can’t wait to show you the rest of the room.
Thanks for letting me share my
Easy 3-Step “Busy Girl’s” Christmas Wreath.

Easy is my favorite 4-letter word and your wreath is stunning! I’m in love with the plaid bow, too. It’s gorgeous. I suck at making bows so I have to use a bow maker thingy. That would be a big fat YES – I want to know how you make your gorgeous bows.
