Today is the first day of March, and I am so ready for spring.
Easter is in March this year,
Very early, but I'm ready.
I really wanted some Easter/spring themes wreaths for my doors,
but they are so expensive.
Even the cheapest ones are $20.
We are tightening our budget (even more than we already were)
so $40 for door decor was out of the question.
I hit the dollar store for some inspiration
and I picked up $6 worth of fake flowers
and another $2 for ribbon.
I purchased a large ($3) and small ($2) wreath frame
and already had wire from another project.
Then I headed out to the yard to cut some boxwood.
Ya know, I worked with what I had.
And I made a wreath for the front door.
And the mudroom door.
(the wires and nails are from the pine garland from Christmas, I guess I should remove them)
Total cost - $13 for both.
I love boxwood wreaths! and I agree with you, wreaths are super expensive. You did a great job on this one:)
ReplyDeleteI wish I had boxwood here in my yard! I love your wreath. working with what you already had is a great way to save money...it's looks wonderful. don' t you love what the dollar tree can offer? I know I do!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't believe your post. I just went shopping for a Forsythia wreath....$40.00! Even with a coupon...I wasn't spending $20.00 for a wreath. I bought a grapevine wreath and wired a forsythia garland that was on sale on it....It isn't perfect...but for less than $10.00....I'll take it!
ReplyDeleteYour wreath is very very cute...you did way better than me!
Right, that does it! I am off to search for some pretty things to make a wreath in our local outdoor environment! Really beautiful photos and a lovely wreath, I think the bow is the finishing touch for me! http://englishgirlincanada.blogspot.co.uk :)
