spray paint & bows

I finally used a wreath to decorate! I swear I have almost 10 different wreaths that I want to copy pinned in my pinterest boards and about half of those have made appearances on my blog as craft goals. Finally. Finally. Finally. I gave it a try!

All of the pinterest inspiration was almost too overwhelming. So instead of copying one of the pinned projects, I pulled my favorite 3 or 5 wreath ideas together and developed my own.

{drumroll}

My wreath decor! Sitting pretty over the fireplace mantle.

I really like it!

The Materials & How-To:

plastic poster frame $10

grape vine wreath $3.50

glossy gray spray paint $3

natural looking wire ribbon $1.50

wodden “c” $1

XL men’s button down $9 {no time for a cloth store}

metal hook $3

First I spray painted the frame & wooden letter with two coats of the glossy gray spray paint. Then I cut my “fabric” to fit the frame and glued the edges in. Put it all together. Hung up the frame and hook. Tied a bow on it and called it a day.

I really wanted to paint the wreath white, but it turns out that I own cream spray paint…not white. Eventually, I will make the change I think.
