Hi Guys, can you believe that it's already November and thoughts of Christmas are entering into our brains!? I'm usually a last minute kind of girl, but I wanted to share some projects this year with you and I'm hoping that by preparing so early... I'll be ready for the big day.
HAHAHA! I know myself pretty well and that last sentence just made me laugh out loud, one can hope though, right?
I'm sharing with you how I made this DIY rustic Christmas wreath, I sure hope you like it. Here is a sneak peak.

I'm sharing with you how I made this DIY rustic Christmas wreath, I sure hope you like it. Here is a sneak peak.
Before I start with the how-to of the DIY portion, I'd like you to know that not everything turns out exactly like I think it will while DIYing and blogging about it... take this little DIY rustic Christmas wreath for example. I had a bit of a different concept in mind when I saw these beautiful clementines in the grocery store. The deep green stopped me in my tracks while rushing around gathering my groceries... I may have aggressively grabbed the clementines hoping to have a few extra fist fulls of those gorgeous leaves. So lush and vibrant!
I decided to iron the leaves before I completely had to scrap this project. As you can probably guess... my well laid plans to make a beautiful wreath out of all of the dark green leaves became a wreath with some of these leaves, I just didn't have forever to iron all of the leaves.
I used an antique stroller wheel, I use these as is in my decor all year round, I have 2.
Dried and ironed clementine leaves.
1. Wrap wheel in jute - I wanted to avoid glueing anything directly to the wheel as I use this in my decor all year long, when Christmas is over I'll just snip the jute away and have the plain rustic wheel again.
I stopped when I was happy with how it all looked. I like the fact that it's so simple (less than an hour to make) and rustic, the other thing I like about this little wreath is that I can move it where ever I'd like. Pop on over to the blog by clicking on the link below and see where this little wreath is displayed, I think it turned out pretty darn cute.
Enjoyed the project?
