I don’t know about you, but I need a little bit of spring! We have had nothing but rainy, cold, gloomy days for what seems like forever here in Georgia…so I decided to make a new spring wreath to lift my spirits. This one is super easy and was almost free! Woo hoo! Gotta love that! 
And…to help put us in the mood for spring, we have finally had a sunny day today! In fact, it has been glorious! Baby Kitty decided to take full advantage of a sunny spot and have a long nap so I will be going it alone.
But that is not a problem since this one is so easy! Here’s all I had to do:- First, wrap a straw wreath form ($3.00 with a coupon at Michaels) in strips of burlap, securing them with staples as you go. I had plenty of burlap in my stash, but if you don’t, a yard should be more than enough.
- Next, I gathered my supplies…two faux dogwood stems, a nest and some little Easter eggs…also from my stash…so free! However, with a coupon and some careful shopping, they would not be expensive since most craft stores have their spring decor on sale right now.
- Then I cut the dogwood stems to fit my wreath and secured them with hot glue.
- Finally, I hot glued the nest to the wreath and then added the eggs…also with hot glue.
- And…taaa daaa!…here’s the finished wreath!
I love it! And…the fact that it only cost three dollars is a bonus! Ahhh! Surely it won’t be too much longer now until spring! What about you? Are you getting out your spring decor?Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed a little peek at my spring wreath!
