Sometimes we just have to "make do" in life, don't you think?
Meandering through a huge crafts supply store (no names, pul-eese), I saw a spring wreath that would look fabulous on our front door. Looking at the price tag, my eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.
"YE GODS. Who could ever afford that wreath unless they own a mansion?" I asked myself. No way would that wreath be hung on our door for spring. "But wait a minute," I thought. Why not try to MAKE a spring wreath? A stop at another big name store, resulted in finding fat cabbage roses in cream and pink. Perfect! Back at the house, hanging in the attic, was a grapevine wreath with old, faded silk flowers. Rip, rip, tear, tear and off they came!
The roses got twisted into the grapevines since I don't own a glue gun. Then came some weather-resistant ribbons and an artist's touch. One of my very talented sisters made a big, fat bow in a short amount of time. I wanted streamers, too, and got them! They flutter with every breeze that comes along!
Now, I have a spring wreath at a fraction of the cost than the one in the crafts store. It's very attractive, too, don't you think?
It definitely adds a touch of spring to our decor. Where there's a will there's a way.
