Summer Fun Wreath

Today was the perfect sunny day to be outside creating a new summer door wreath.

I loaded the kids in the car and headed to Michael's early this morning.

I spent $10 in the summer clearance areas for supplies.

I already had the rounded bound vine for the base.

I always keep a couple of these when I find them on sale.

I took my supplies to the picnic table and while the kids played I created.

 I love toddler flip flops.  These purple ones were perfect with my purple flowers.

Pinwheels and water cans are definitely part of summer fun.

Check out this adorable little grasshopper I found at Michaels.  I purchased 2 of them.

This yellow sand shovel was perfect and my toddler got a new sand bucket to play with.

Here is my second grasshopper and these pink childrens sun glasses were a must have.

 And, here is my finished Summer Fun Wreath for the small cost of $10.

I hope you are inspired to create your new summer door wreath. 

Happy summer

Door Wreath

Hello Friends

I've been wanting to create a new spring/summer door wreath lately.

I like to make one every spring but I'm running late this year.

Anyway today I decided to go for it.

So I went outside for some inspiration. 

I love all the signs of summer, the green leaves, the budding trees, the smell of the air, everything. 

So during my inspirational walk I found this bush of, well basically, weeds. 

They were very green and pretty weeds. 

So I decided that this is what I would use for my wreath. 

I gathered some branches, some of the weed branches, twigs, grass, basic outdoor items.

 I bent the branches, tied them together with grass, you know, wilderness style.

I had Jacob helping me pick up twigs and we had a great time. 

Now let me unveil my masterpiece and you can tell me what you think.

After

Well as you might have guessed I didn't get as inspired outside as I would have liked. 

So my next brilliant idea was to search Pinterest. 

I found some awesome spring/summer wreaths that I pinned for inspiration. 

 I've got more on my Pinterest page if you want to take a look at those too.

Below are some ideas of wreaths that I thought I'd share with you just in case

anyone else out there is having the same creative issues as me currently.

Inspiration by Pinterest.

Yeah, these are a little better than my own creation, but hey I tried. LOL

Till next time, go create something.
