During a recent outing to one of New York’s biggest yard sales in Stormville I snagged myself a grapevine wreath for $1! I also got some other great deals like a $3 hand sander, a very pretty vintage gold necklace and a tray table which I am going to be redoing. Can’t wait to get started on that project but first thing first I need some eye candy on my very gray door. I went to Michael’s and got all the materials I needed.
The floral pieces were all on sale for 50% off and the little leaves were my own so this project cost me close to nothing. The first thing I did was open up the fall berry sprigs by simply pulling them apart and then I placed them around the wreath and secured them with floral wire.
Then I moved on to the…hmm…not sure what to call them. How about flowy fall foliage.
I continued adding them and securing with the floral wire but I made sure to have some pieces sick out for effect. Finally, I used my hot glue gun to attach the leaves and then hung her up.
I love how it came out but I may end up buying some more berry sprigs and filling the space in a little heavier to cover the actually grapevine wreath itself. It certainly puts a smile on my face when I come home. Now if only it felt like fall outside!
