Super Fun and Colorful Wreath

 If you were anywhere near the Chicago area this past winter, you know how long it was. Very long! And when we got the first hint of spring weather (40°F) lol I decided to send winter a clear message to GO AWAY!  So I made a colorful Spring wreath and hung it on my front door! It looked a little crazy because it snowed a couple of times after that, but I was determined :)

Materials:

$5 Natural grapevine wreath-Hobby Lobby

$4 Colorful silk flowers -Dollartree

$1 Wooden letter -Walmart

$0 Hot glue

$0 Hot glue gun

$.50 Bottle of Green Acrylic paint

$0 Pink ribbon

I just hot glued the flowers onto the wreath leaving an empty spot for the letter.

Then with the help of my 3 year old, she painted the 'M' for our last name.

Once it dried, I hot glued it to the wreath.

Tied a ribbon, which I had laying around, at the top and hung it on the door.

It wasn't expensive at all, and I think it's gorgeous!

Spring Branch Decoration

I saw a similar design online and thought it would be gorgeous on my mantle. So I decided to make my own.

Materials:

Dry tree branches
Bag of jellybeans
Hot glue
Hot glue gun
Vase to put them in

I began by deciding the height of the arrangement and cutting the branches to that size.

Then, one branch at a time, I glued one jellybean at a time to random places on the branch.

Repeated until I got the look I liked.

Placed them in a glass vase and set them on my mantle.

DONE! Super Easy and I got so many compliments on them.

Here is how they came out.
Note: My camera doesn't really catch the full colors indoors.
