Easy Spring Wreath

Each year, I have big ideas that I will create a 

unique and one-of-a-kind Spring Wreath

that will knock your socks off.  I plan it, and in

my mind – it is Fabulous!  🙂

Then, one week rolls into another – and that

procrastination gene kicks in as it usually does…

and my “knock your socks off wreath” ideas turn 

into “Oh heavens I need a Spring Wreath fast!”

Which brings me to how I created this 3-Step

Easy Spring Wreath.

 I could also call it the

“Recycled-Upcycled Easy 3-Step Wreath”…

because I pulled out some items from the ole’

“bin ‘o recycled florals” to create this. 

 A twiggy wreath, some silk forsythia stems that I have

used for the past two years (Dollar Store finds)…

(see last year’s Spring wreath HERE)

I also used a roll of leftover ribbon.  I did purchase

one item, which I will share with you below.

……………………………………………..

To start, I simply pushed the forsythia stems

directly into the wreath.

 I placed the stems in the same direction of the twigs.

 I added a single layer all the way around –

 … then I used the remainder of the stems to fill

in the wreath.  I didn’t use glue, as the stems stayed in

on their own when pushed into the wreath.

(Step #1)

 I mentioned that I purchased one item for my wreath.

I spied this cute, speckled Egg Wreath at Kmart.

Yes, Kmart!

It was on sale for $8.99.

 Don’t you love the soft colors and delicate layer of moss?

I wrapped two long pieces of wire around the egg wreath…

… then, wired the egg wreath right over the

forsythia-filled twig wreath.

(Step #2)

I love that nothing is permanently attached and I can

simply disassemble it once Spring has passed,

and put things away to use next year.

All that was needed was a simple blue, burlap hanger.

(Step #3)

My little assistant, Roo, asked what the flowers

“smelled” like.

I said they smelled like “Spring.”

He wasn’t buying it.  ha!

But, the good thing is that this wreath only took a few

minutes to make, which meant we could move on

to much more important things –

like feeding the koi fish and trying to catch the first

lizard spotted this Spring.

This wreath was a valuable lesson in

“plan less and enjoy more.”  I had such huge plans

for an amazing wreath which would have taken

most of the day to create.

(I still plan on making that one soon, by the way)

🙂

But, sometimes the best projects are the

quick ‘n easy ones.
