Spring Wreath Cheat

2 Materials

With spring around the corner, I wanted to add something colorful to my front door, but didn’t want to spend a ton of money on a custom wreath and the idea of making a wreath from scratch can be intimidating....and expensive.

That's why I cheat. Yup. I make my wreaths almost from scratch.

The design is basically set for you and most of the supplies come with, so all you’re really doing is enhancing a wreath and anyone can do that.

I actually do it all the time. I made over one of my really old, really gorgeous wreaths for summer with letters not too long ago. Come take a peek! There's glitter!





And super cheap.


For this spring project, I started with a clearance wreath. It was $4.99, I kid you not, but it was also kind of a mess. The grapevine was cracked, the flowers were sparsely placed and many of them were falling off, but I knew that with a few bucks and a little glue, it could be outstanding. 
I removed the flowers from the broken grapevine and used floral wire to reattach them to a wire frame I had in my craft stash. To add fullness, I purchased a few more blooms for under five dollars and peppered them in. 


Once I was happy with my overall design, I used my glue gun to fix any droopy or unruly buds.
