I have had this twig wreath on hand for years. Michaels had these garlands on sale for $3.99. I purchased two.All I did was wrap the two garlands around the wreath tucking in their ends and . . .
VIOLA! Spring Wreath!I love the lazy, easy, freeform nature of the wreath.
"Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world." - Virgil A. Kraft
Many years ago I was at a nature park with some youth I worked with. The nature leader taught me how to make those wreaths..imagine my delight when I found these vines in my backyard.. so much fun! I often make wreaths for the different seasons.. I love yours!
I LIKE its freeform look! If you had taken acutal forsythia branches and twisted them together, that's probably about what it would look like (except it would have taken a LOT longer than two minutes). Did you see the fabulous forsythia arrangements in the Metropolitan Museum in February?
MY KINDA WREATH !! Great great great. Yellow is my Easter color this year, and you wreath is TOTALLY INSPIRING.
Ok. let me share also: ... For variations on your theme, see my wreaths here: equally simple, but with a different look: http://www.finecraftguild.com/wreaths-instructions-christmas/ (ignore that 'christmas' word in the title, these wreaths look wonderful year round!)
I just found your blog and am your newest follower! I love quick and easy projects that pack and punch and this does just that. Thanks for the great idea and inspiration.
This looks great, Carmie! Can't get any easier than that!
I'm sorry I haven't been by, but for some reason I was having a problem when I was on your blog page {it would freeze up} for about a week. It seems to be okay today, so I guess it was nothing serious.
Very pretty. Michael's actually has that type of twig wreath on sale right now, too. I think for $5.00. I may go snag one up and use you idea. Love that it took minutes and NO glue! Visiting from Serenity Now.
Hi, I am your latest follower coming from fridays blog hop. I look Forward to coming back and reading more of your blog. Hope you come and visit me to. I am starting to worry that Spring is going to be very late this year.
Woman that's gorgeous! and of course you can so easily change it out for every season! You're speaking my language...beautiful, cheap and easy! xoxo Robin
The wreath is lovely. Do you do a wreath for your door for all seasons? I do--they just say "Welcome" to me. Love the yellow flowers. I have those same ones in stems in a large pot on my front porch. CAS
My friend, your spring wreath turned out sooo pretty! Sheesh...it was so quick and easy too! Just my kind of project! Hehe! Thanks so much for sharing this great craft idea with us for the Sunday Favorites repost party!
