$4.00 Spring Wreath

In my continuing quest to save money I set out to make a wreath for my front door. 

I needed it to be simple,  bright and cheery and I needed it to last from March 18 to almost Summer...

I started with a grapevine base (I had on hand) and 4 bushes of tulips from the dollar tree ($1.00 each)

I cut the branches off with a wire snips (if you do not have one.. get one they are wonderful)

I then started to glue the stems in a whimsical way around the base

I used tacky glue and find it to be better for me than hot glue for making wreaths

The glue globs will dry

And here it is all done... 

I can't wait to put it on our door!

I love the bright colors

I am choosing not to add a bow... because I like the free flow of the wreath!

Using what I had on hand

With the recent move I realized that I had WAY too much STUFF so I decided that I could ONLY use what I had on hand for decor this year

Here are the arrangements that I created using only things I already owned

This is our kitchen table arrangement

I used a box that I rec'd as a gift and added a green swag, a large puffy snowflake, some pine cones a candy cane, cinnamon sticks and a battery operated candle

This is our front door wreath

This is the candy theme wreath over over fireplace

This is the wreath on our back door

This is my treat plate using my favorite Christmas greenery

I have  a TON more to show you so stay tuned and MERRY CHRISTMAS
