My mom has several beautiful holiday wreaths in her home, and since I've long been a little bored with our Christmas wreath for the front door, I asked my mom if she would help me make a new one. She's always happy to help. These are not the best pictures, but the best I could do in a hurry this morning. ;)
Sorry, this one's a little blurry, but you can get the general idea. I haven't hung it on the door because I ran out of time yesterday to clean the glass in the storm door. It's raining here today, but I'll be hanging it tomorrow for sure. Believe it or not, I spent most of the day yesterday planting pansies (which I purchased near the end of October) and cleaning up our front porch. Thankfully, the pansies were extremely healthy plants, and I was still able to use all 12 of them.
So, back to the wreath. My mom made the bow and I think she did a fantastic job.
I don't do bows. I've tried and tried -- even watched online tutorials, all to no avail. Maybe one day I'll get the hang of it. I hot-glued all the other pieces onto the wreath, and "Voilà," new Christmas wreath. I love the way it turned out!
