Wreaths

I have always liked decorating for different holidays and seasons, but aside from Christmas don't have many decorations for ALL of the holidays and seasons. One thing that I have been keeping up with is creating different wreaths for the front of our house:




I have always loved sunflowers, how big and bright they are is perfect for fall

After the snow started falling I realized I should probably switch out the sunflowers for some evergreen:


This weekend I decided to FINALLY pack up all of the winter decor and say buh-bye to the cold weather (at least that's what I'm hoping for). And what better way to say hello to spring than with bright colors and daisies?!?



One of the reasons I LOVE updating the wreaths is that they are so inexpensive! This daisy wreath for example: wreath $5.00 (with 50% off coupon), ribbon $1.00 (in clearance bin), flowers $3.00 (all Ashland flowers were 50% off this weekend); so for the cost of a trip to my local Michaels store and less than $10.00 I made a new decor that will last likely until September...unless I get the urge to change it up this summer.

Side note, everything is temporarily secured to the wreaths to help reuse the wreaths (ribbon is tied to branches, flowers are weaved between branches, thicker flower stems are secured with twisty ties).
