Spring Wreath

It's been feeling really warm today so I got a little crafty! I've seen these kinds of wreaths with the house number on it but we have our apartment number right on our door so I did a Y for our last name.



I picked everything up at Michaels. I love the coupons they have. You don't even have to print it. Just pull it up on your smart phone and they can scan from there. Plus, the wreath and flowers were on sale.

Cut the flowers so you have about an inch of the stem. This makes it easy to stick in the wreath.

Cut a long strip of wire and use this to secure the flower to the wreath. Twist the ends and cut the excess with wire cutters.


Now here you are! I pulled a little bit of blue in but you could do any colors. Also these are easy to remove to changing it up in the fall will be really easy!



Now I just ran a strip of hot glue on the back and stuck my wire down. Added a little more glue over the top and let it dry nice and good!

Place your letter on and wrap the wire around the back of the wreath and twist ends together. The roughness of the wreath will help keep the letter very secure. It's NOT coming off!




Hang it up and enjoy. I love walking up to our door and seeing this! :) Makes my day!

Let me know if you have any questions or comments! :)
