Wreath Pinspiration

03/27/2012 Posted by Kelly Rowe

I  have wanted to make this wreath for awhile, I even had the supplies lying in wait.

Guess what motivated me to FINALLY make it?

Sooo, here we are. 
Where did I get my inspiration from?
This gorgeous front porch styling.


Alrighty, let’s grab some supplies.
One 18″ Grapevine Wreath $4.99, Three bags of Floral Moss $1.00/each at the Dollar Store (pictured above is Spanish Moss), Glue Gun and Spray Adhesive $3.99, Frame and Ribbon.

I started by hot glueing the first layer of Floral Moss to the grapevine wreath.  Every so often I would lift the wreath and shake off any access. I’ll admit that I had intended to hot glue the entire wreath, but decided to add to the second layer with Spray Adhesive.  It covered more area and kept some of the smaller (messier) pieces in place much better.

This might be a good time to mention that, as you can see, this is a very messy project {smile}.
After a few more shakes (outdoors), you’re ready to accessorize.
With the addition of an organic bloom frame and a bow with some wired ribbon —Voila!
And one last visual of the ‘pinspiration’ versus my wreath.  
What do you think?  I’m extremely pleased.

UPDATE:  March 30th, 2012.  Winners have been announced {here}.  I’m the third place winner!

I’ll be partying up {here}.
A little extra partying {here} and {here} too.  Cheers!

    I don't know how I missed this earlier (maybe Google Reader is acting funny or maybe I scrolled too quickly). Caught it at TT&J though. This is gorgeous, and I'm so tempted to make one this weekend.

    This might seem like a silly question but how did you tie the bow? And how then hang it over the door? Could you give us a little more detail for those of us that are crafting impaired? I made this now I just can’t figure out how to tie and such. Thank you!

      Hi Tri! There are two pieces of ribbon, one is looped through the wreath and up. The other is tied around the first piece of ribbon and made into a bow. Does that make sense? I’m so excited to hear you made the wreath!! I hope it helps. Let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers!
