Get Your Crafty On

My mister was away this weekend doing his Army thing. Boo.

Hate when that happens! 

Makes for one sad & lonely mama.

I decided I needed to be productive in order to forget about his absence, so....

I got my crafty on!

I must say I am proud that this is my first successful DIY project.

I've tried my hand at Pinterest many a' times and lets just say that failure is an understatement.

 No really, UNDERstatement.

Here's how to make an easy breezy front door wreath that looks cute & won't break your bank!

DIY Front Door Wreath

You will need:

1 wreath 

3-5 fake flowers (I got each of them for 50% at Joann's!)

Wooden letter

Burlap ribbon

Twine 

Glue gun

I started out by taking my flowers and cutting them down so they had about 6 inches of the stem left. Then, I weaved the stem through the twigs in the wreath so that they were hidden. I used hot glue to hold them in place. I like the look of having them all bunched up, but you can of course glue the flowers all over the wreath if you want! I did have some bunched together on the opposite side of the wreath too but I didn't get a picture of that so.... #excuseme #newblogger :)

Next, I took twine and glued it to the back of my wooden letter. I left the twine really long so that I could wrap it around the top of the wreath in order to suspend the letter. I tied it and hot glued it in place.

Lastly, I took my entire roll of burlap ribbon and made a giant bow. I glued it right on top of where the twine was tied so that you couldn't the knots I had made.

Here's the finished product!

So easy and so fun to do! The whole thing only took me like thirty minutes to make. I love this project because it's cheap enough that you could make one for each of the seasons without going way over your budget! 

Well, its off to church for the Kleiner family!

Be blessed & enjoy your Sunday!
