I really enjoyed the wreath on my front door this Christmas. It was hard to take it down, the door looked so empty and sad without it.
I had some leftover boxwood from my daughter's wedding. I bought them at JoAnn's. They were originally $2.99 each but they had them at 50% off AND I had a 20% off total purchase coupon. It took 10 to make this wreath.
(14" plas boxwood bush 67 L GR-ZBB068-GR)
I just layered and tied them down with some wire so the boxwood wasn't permanent.
You can see in the photo above how I layered the bushes. Needle Nose pliers are essential for tying the wire tight in the back.
Here is the finished project, very fast and very simple. I personally love it without anything added to it.
Though I may add a red or pink heart for Valentine's day.
(Glittered foam hearts come in a bag of different colors for $1 in Target's dollar bin)
Come springtime I'll probably add my signature Robin's nest. See how to make eggs HERE.
There are many possibilities that could be added for different holidays~Have fun with it!
Robin- I absolutely love this. My mouth was hanging wide open when I saw the lovely red heart against the green! I gasped! Stunningly simple and gorgeous! Thanks for sharing! Love the robin's nest, too.:) Lori
ReplyDeleteThanks Lori!
DeleteI'm trying to keep things more simple this year so I can post more...We will see how that goes!
I'm also trying to keep costs down-People seem to really be trying to budget (me being one of those people):)
Good morning from Greece.I always love your ideas and this one is amazing.I also like wreaths so much and i agrre that after christmas everything looks empty.So great idea!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning! Thanks for all your kinds words. I wish I had something to replace my Christmas tree now. Our living room is so beautiful when the tree is in there, after it leaves there seems to be a big void! Happy New Year~

ReplyDeleteHey Thanks PM, I'm really trying to keep things a bit more simple this year :)
DeleteI love boxwood. We need green here in UT (we're under a lot of snow). I'll be heading out to JoAnne's tomorrow for boxwood. Thanks for the detailed instructions. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love boxwood too! If you end up having any questions let me know. If I had more boxwood I could have made it even thicker, though I am happy with it as is. Have fun at JoAnn's!
DeleteAbsolutely fabulous! And it looks so simple to do!
