Beachy Wreath

I have had this wreath since right after I got out of college. It used to be one of my Christmas wreaths. It is made out of corn husks. I pulled all the holiday junk off it and thought the husks looked like beach grass so I turned it into a Beachy wreath.


I glittered some seashells.


And painted some summery wooden shapes to add to the wreath.



I just love how it turned out.

A Preppy Paint Chip Wreath

I started this project a couple weeks ago by getting lots and lots of paint chips from Home Depot. You kind of have to do this discreetly. I did purchase an entire shopping card full of paint for other projects. So I think they still made a profit from me that day.

So I cut out 2 3/4 inch circles from the paint chips with a circle punch and painted the wooden wreath from with a bright green paint.

Then I just started gluing.

I did use some foam adhesive circles to add dimension to the second layer of paint chips.
Here is the finished project.

$5 Butterfly Wreath

If you have not checked out the $1 bins at Michaels, they have some super cute stuff for Spring. Including these butterfly picks which I decided to make into a wreath.

The 12 inch wreath form came from Dollar Tree. And in the end, it took 4 packs of the butterfly picks to complete the wreath.

I used my pruning shears to clip off the wooden skewers on each butterfly. And started gluing.

Here is the finished wreath on our back door.

Shamrock Wreath

I really don't have any decorations for St. Patricks Day. So I decided to at least create a wreath.

I picked up all these shamrocks(about 30) at AC Moore. And spray painted them 3 different shades of green.



I then glittered some of them.



Then glued them all to a flat wooden wreath form.




I don't think it turned out too bad and now it's hanging on the back door.
