Wine cork wreath

I was inspired by a few different wine cork wreaths I had seen on Pinterest, so I decided to try one of my own! I experimented with a few different styles but This is the wreath idea that I finally ran with (though I did make some changes). I got a very inexpensive wood form at Michael's and sprayed it with glittery gold spray paint. Then I laid out my corks and jingle bells and hot glued them around the form. I finished the wreath with a simple bow from red Christmas ribbon. It's a very simple wreath, but I love how it turned out! Thanks for stopping by today!

Drink umbrella wreath

Today's project is a bit of a departure from my usual stamped cards. I may have mentioned here that I am a big fan of Pinterest. One of the first pins on my board was this wreath made from drink umbrellas. Well, after I put away the Easter decorations last weekend (a little late, I know!) my door was feeling a bit bare, so I figured it was time to spruce it up a bit. I picked up a styrofoam wreath form and a bunch of cheap drink umbrellas and put this together last night. It was pretty easy, once I got the hang of the spacing and angles for the umbrellas. I love how it turned out, though I wish I had a wider, pink ribbon to tie it with. I think it'll be perfect for spring and summer!
Supplies:
Styrofoam wreath base, paper drink umbrellas, ribbon for hanging
