Who is ready for spring? Probably everyone who is reading this, including me. I am so tired of all of snow and freezing temperatures. To invite and welcome spring to this part of Earth, I am sharing a Spring DIY Split Pea Wreath. Sometimes we need just a little green in our lives to help break up all that white snow.
To make this wonderful wreath, I used a straw wreath form, a paint brush, Mod Podge, a large plastic container, and a whole lot of bagged split peas.
To make this wonderful wreath, I used a straw wreath form, a paint brush, Mod Podge, a large plastic container, and a whole lot of bagged split peas.
First, I placed the wreath form in the plastic container and my lovely assistant and I painted the front and sides of it with a thick layer of Mod Podge.
Next, we coated the glue covered circle with the small vibrant colored greens and let it dry. We continued this process until every space was filled with peas.
My original plan was to work on this project alone, but I am so glad this was something my three year old and I could do together. It was such a great sensory activity for him. I love how beautiful and simple this wreath turned out too. Okay spring, now it is time to arrive!

White navy beans tossed in zip lock bag with a couple drops of blue food coloring and toss. . Makes a great faux turqois look.
