Wreath Makeover

Remember this wreath?


Here it is now.


Yes, I completely demolished it.  Taking the massive amounts of moss off took forever... but I am too cheap to buy another grapevine wreath. : )  
I didn't particularly like it the first time around anyway, so I didn't mind destroying it.  
I saw this idea here on pinterest.  The fabrics she used are way cuter than mine, but I still did a similar color scheme.  I wanted to make one that was holiday-ish and not too Christmas-y so it would make it through the entire winter.  I'm sure I will get bored with it and re-do it before too long though. Anyway,  I will say this wreath was much harder than I anticipated.  The fabric flowers are a pain in the REAR to make.  Luckily I used fabric glue... because if I had used hot glue, I would have burned my fingertips off.  I didn't mind peeling the glue off my hands.  I was that kid in Elementary school who covered her hands in Elmers glue so she could peel it off. Guilty.


I also added new plants to my stands.  My mums kicked the bucket.

Aren't the little red flowers presh... they are like mini pansys. 


I also added yellow pansys to my large planters.  My potato vines would not have made it through the winter. 


I am currently working on a tree skirt-- will be posting pics soon!!  It's become quite the project as well. Much harder than I had intended...

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!
