DIY wreath for spring (or even for summer) with initial. Includes tutorial and I share a few tricks that I hope are helpful.

We had a surprisingly short and dry spring this year. It really felt like we went from winter straight to summer. I missed spring! So, when I decided to adorn our front door with a wreath, it seems that subconsciously I picked spring colors. My summer wreath looks suspiciously like a spring wreath.

Gather your supplies, the flowers and foliage, florist wire, wire cutter and - if you need them - pliers.

Trick: First, arrange your creation until you find a design you like. Do not attach anything yet, this is just your sample and your inspiration. Take a photo (or more) and use it as a guide.

This was my guide (nothing is secured yet):

Our front door is painted in a grey with blue undertones, which is pretty dark. Any wreath for that space has to contrast with vivid and light colors. White, orange and yellow were my go-to colors and I added pale reds to soften the transition.

After securing the layers (more about that at my blog @ http://twopluscute.com/diy-spring-summer-wreath-with-initial-tutorial/ )

I hang the initial with yellow ribbon and added a wide white ribbon to hang the whole wreath.

Once I had started making it, I couldn't stop. I didn't sleep that night but when morning came and I hung my wreath at the front door, I felt it was worth it. :)
