I Finally Made a Wreath!

by Decorchick! on Tue, 22 Jun 2010

My front door has been so naked without anything on it.  I don’t know why wreaths stress me out, but they do.  Then once I do it, it’s SO easy.  But all of those aisles at Hobby Lobby with strands of greenery and flowers everywhere just makes me nervous.  I’m a dork, I know.  I guess when there is too much of something, it just overwhelms me.

So, here is what I got.

Since I like real hydrangeas and daisies, that’s what I got for my wreath (the fake ones of course).  Put those 2 together along with some greenery and you get this…

I am by no means a wreath expert and will never claim to be, but I think it turned out pretty!  At least our door is dressed appropriately now.  :)  Wreaths are so easy, seriously.  Just pull the flowers off the stems and hot glue them on the wreath.  And according to this picture, I need to glue on another daisy in that empty spot.  Oops!  And hopefully I will overcome my fear of “too many fake flowers at Hobby Lobby to choose from” one day so I can make seasonal wreaths. :)

Here’s one more shot.

I’ll be showing you soon our front door entryway area.  I’ve been sprucing it up! :)

xxoo,

Decorchick!

That is beautiful…and since I also need something for my front door and those flowers are perfect…I am SOOO copying you! Plus the hydrangeas are the perfect color that match my front door. I can’t put anything on the door itself as we have a storm door, but it goes on the wall next to it.

Emily it turned out so precious! Great job!

I just ordered a new wreath for our front door as well. I’m sure I overpaid but I do suffer from the anti craft gene. *Smiles* I don’t even own a hot glue gun.

Have a wonderful day. ~Melissa :)

Purty! A good thing to do, fyi, is hot glue a strip of felt around the back so’s it won’t scratch your door. Learned this the hard way. Once you get started with wreaths, it’s hard not to change ‘em up a lot with the seasons or holidays and is cheap and fun! Good job!

Oh Gina, brilliant idea, thank you!! Never would have thought of that.

That’s a really pretty wreath! I need to make something for my naked front door as well. I was thinking of making one of the fabric strip wreaths that I have been seeing but not sure how it will hold up to the weather. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Desiree! I would have loved to make one of those cool wreaths everyone is making nowadays too, but it didn’t seem practical to put outside. :( But there’s always room for inside! :)

I love your wreath! I’m the same, terrified of all those flowers at HobLob. Since I have a wreath form exactly like yours (with no idea what to do with it), I will go to HobLob and find a few flowers/greens I like and hot glue ‘em on. You are my motivation! Thanks!
