Oh spring is coming soon (well, it's officially spring, just not here... yet)!
I love a pretty wreath hanging on the front door in the spring as much as I do at Christmastime. Spring is my favorite season. All the new rebirth of leaves and flowers... it just makes me smile.
Speaking of Christmas, the evergreens wilted off this wired wreath frame so I thought I would recycle it for my new spring wreath.
I bought just a few bunches of silk flowers... yellow daffodils and green hydrangeas.
I cut the flowers leaving a few inches of stem and attached them to the wire frame with green floral tape.
Annnnd about two hours later... I had a full hydrangea wreath.
I kept the leaves to glue onto the back of the wire frame.
Using hot glue, I attached the leaves onto the frame to extend from the outside and inside of the flowers. Kind of framing the frame. :)
This part went really fast... about 15 minutes.
And got this result!
Pretty, huh?
Then I used just the top of the daffodils to place into the wreath for a spring theme.
Giving it a quick test on the inside of the door, I found it fit and looked just right.
So here we are, outside the door to see how it hangs...
Not bad for $12...
And the back side of the wreath from indoors looks better with the leaves glued this way.
I looooove hydrangeas. Especially when they are still green.

ReplyDeleteSo very spring-y! I love wreath making, and hydrangeas! I'm going to have to pin this idea! Glad I saw your post on the Momma Told Me link up!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Ann!
ReplyDeleteIt really is easy, but it is a patient project. Taping the flowers took so long for me. I'm sure others can do it faster and easier. The leaves, though, are very easy with the hot glue. I hope you get to try it yourself.
So happy you stopped in and like it. :)
You made my day, Robin! Thank you so very much!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a sweet hostess! Thank you, Pam!
ReplyDeleteIt's so much better looking than my old bought one I tried to fix up last spring. I'm so glad you like it, Chris!
ReplyDeleteA repurpose for the old one should be in the works. Not sure what yet.
Wish we were neighbors... we'd make a great sisters. oxo
I'm not very good at wreaths. But just had to have a hydrangea one because I love them when I see them. Do you make them, Leanne? Gotta check you out! Thank you so much for stopping; I'll return the visit! ox
ReplyDeleteLove it Robin! I'm drawn to pretty green hydrangeas too and bought a handful the other week. They look so pretty on a wreath and I really like the pop of yellow daffodils you added too.
ReplyDeleteAren't they prettiest? Mine turn blue in the summer, which I adore equally, but there is something beautiful about the green blooms.
ReplyDeleteSo tickled you stopped. I need to check in with you to see you and your grandson's updates. You're so talented and blessed with a new family member!
Popping over from Funtastic Friday =) That is absolutely beautiful Robin! I think I need to make one. You rock!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous Wreath, Robin!! I love it! As someone who makes wreaths too, I don't think I could have made one as nice as yours. Thank you so much for sharing it with us at What to do Weekends!! Pinned!

I agree with you; they are like mini bushes of blooms. The perfect decorating flower for any occasion.
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting and coming by, Cathy!
So tastefully done! Love how your wreath turned out. I also love that you used everything instead of throwing the leaves out. It's beautiful!! ;)
