out with the OLD

and IN with the NEW

I know awhile back I shared this groovy wreath I had planned to use all year long

and just change up the side panels to coordinate with the different seasons.

Well from the very beginning, I knew the wreaths were way too small for the door.

But figured I could make it work

then I found these straw wreath and they are super large and

at the dollar store - so I figured let's try this again.

I used some scraps of white & muslin and some hot glue and that was pretty much

all it took to make these 2 cool wreaths...so here is how we started.

I made thin strips of white and wrapped the entire wreath up .

I just added the strips to the other strip and tried not to add too much glue to the actual

wreath - just in case I changed my mind later...{which is HIGHLY probable}

then I cut smaller strips that I could TIE around the the wreath...and just did that for around

an hour or so until I was done with both wreaths

and after an hour this is what I was left with....cute right?

with some left over muslin I made a nice big bow for the top of the wreaths and a hanger - to

hang on my door

and here they are on my door. I just love the subtle color and best part is that I

am not done yet, I know (can't leave well enough alone) But I think it is easy to add a

some little bits to it for ALL the different holidays...

I gotta tell you that I think like any true crafter we are always looking to

re-do something that we think could be better and that's my theory behind these wreaths.

I can't wait to share with you the other little bit that I made that was way easier

and will set the erst of my porch to a nice entrance for my guests...

Hope you like it and maybe try it out yourself....
