Spring is only days away and I am ready to say sayonara to Winter! To welcome my favorite season, I have whipped up a fancy new Springtime wreath for my living room.
My inspiration came from Karin Lidbeck-Brent and a bird’s nest wreath she designed in a basket:
I thought that was pretty cute and innovative, so I set out to create my own. Since I didn’t have a cute basket and I did have a spare grapevine wreath I used that for my base. A quick trip to Michael’s yielded a spray of pussy willow and a cute little bird. Combined with some moss from my stash and a bird’s nest (thanks nature!) I was able to assemble the whole thing for less than $10!
Here is my version:
The tiny nest is filled with little blue eggs. The blue bird is made from natural fibers and has a twig “feathered” tail! I put a little branch across the bottom of the wreath so she would have somewhere to perch.
I thought the top was feeling a little empty and since I didn’t have any fun ribbon for a bow, I added this tiny banner welcoming Spring!
I accented mine with forsythia and hydrangea to complement the decor in the living room. I think it turned out pretty cute!
Happy Spring!
I’ll be back soon with more seasonal updates in the yard and the house! :) Stay tuned!
