This wreath had definitely seen better days. . .
Little smooshed with a little red bow... outdated.
So I searched my house for something to spruce it up.
Like some vintage ribbon lying about.
Found a doily from my gram in Iowa.
Took off the bashed pinecones, added some pinecones from my fallen Christmas tree,
(see here)
flipped it around and glued it back in.
Found a Santa in my ornament box.
(You know how the neighbors always give you little gifts...and you don't know what to do WITH THEM? This was one of them.)
I found some crocheted snowflakes that we were given last year.
Which I really liked....
but they were a little too white.
I really wanted an antiqued color.
So I put the snowflakes in some Celestial Ginger Snap Tea.
(You know it had a orange clearance sticker from Smith's)
Gave them a nice color along with a super delish smell!
Up - cycled some old cranberry strands.
20 minutes later.
I had quite a lovely new wreath.
What do you think?
I really love the Santa Claus Ornament, oh and the snowflakes...really, I just love it.
(You know this chair is thrifted)
Christmas is almost here...
are you ready?
I have so many projects that I want to post...but see, they are people's Christmas gifts...can't ruin my surprise!
