I'm jumpin' on the wreath bandwagon. There have been so many marvelous wreaths blogged lately! It's such an easy and fun way to spice up your front door, your mantel or a wall. Here's what I did with some beads. What do you think?
Supplies:
Glue gun with extra glue sticks (lots of em)
Styrofoam wreaths (I did two little ones but you can do any size!)
Beads (I got natural wood beads @ Michaels.)
Pretty Mexican oilcloth to protect your table (totally optional!!)
Start gluing! It's seriously so easy and I did it during naptime.
(By the way, do you see the bite marks on the styrofoam? I totally let Ginger chew it while we walked around Michael's. A mom's gotta do..... )
I didn't bead all the way around--just enough so that when flush against the wall there was no green styrofoam showing. I wanted it to lay nice and flat. BUT, I do think I will go back and bead all the way around because I like it in my window and I don't want any green showing when you are looking in.
Here it is hanging in the window with a red grosgrain ribbon. It's so versatile that you could just change the ribbon for the season. I toyed with spraypainting it because I was originally inspired by this awesome acorn wreath but I do like the color of the beads with my chestnut woodwork. Maybe in the future I will when I tire of it?
And again on my mantel. Another idea for these is to put on a table with a big pillar candle in the middle. Could be another reason not to bead all the way around....crafter's choice!
Have fun!
