10 Minute Spring DIY Wreath

"While my hubby has been working on the flower beds (since I have a tendency to kill anything that grows), I decided to work on something pretty for the front door. I have been painting my home and since that is a major time sucker I wanted a project that was quick and easy. I found an extra grapevine wreath in the basement (you can get them at any craft store like Michaels or Hobby Lobby). I ran to Michaels and got some faux flowers that were 50% off. You can use whatever type of flowers you want. I used the wire cutters and cut off the majority of the stem, leaving about 3 inches, and I simply stuck them into the wreath. I made sure to dig them into the parts of the wreath that were the most dense, so they would stay put. You can hot glue them just to be safe, but even in our fierce Kansas wind mine havent moved.I then hot-glued on a wooden letter (also from Michaels). I didnt paint mine since it came white, but you could throw on a coat of spray paint if you want yours a different color. I then used my bow maker that I got years ago to make my bow out of some burlap and lace ribbon. If you struggle with bows, this sucker is a life saver. Mines not perfect, but its a heck of a lot better than it would be if I had done it by hand. Thats it folks. This is a no-brainer, super easy project, and I love that it gives a bright pop of color to my front door."
