Springing Up The Burlap Wreath


Happy Saturday! 
Hope you have exciting weekend plans!
 Yesterday I decided to spring up the burlap wreath that hangs on the door to our basement..
I love ..love..love the faux cotton branches so I wanted to add some to the burlap wreath 
This was how it looked before I changed it up.. 
I went to Michael's yesterday and got 2 pink flowering branches that look like cherry blossoms.. I also got the burlap colored gingham ribbon there for the bow. 
 I cut the long ends off the pink flowering branches and also cut the long ends off of two cotton branches. I then used floral wire to attach the bundles of pink flowers and cotton together. One cotton, one pink flowers wired in the middle. I then wired the bundle to the wreath form ..made my bow and I left the wire long enough to attach the bow to the wreath with it. I used one spool of the ribbon for the bow ..I might go back and get another to kind of weave around the wreath a little more .


 But I am loving the easy change up.. So nice to have a fresh wreath!

Spring in the Kitchen 2015

 Happy Friday !
Lets take a tour of the rest of the kitchen decorated for spring!
 The seasonal chalkboard hangs on the wall between the family room and kitchen.. there is a DIY spring burlap wreath on the basement door..decorated with forsythia and a birds nest..

 The galvanized tiered tray decorated for spring sits on the end of the counter..
 a few chickens in a thrifted basket ..
The view into the dining room..

 the basket of bunnies and book page covered eggs on the kitchen table..in a wire basket on a cake pedestal.
 The new DIY spring table runner..
 and my favorite spring vignette.. Doesn't it just say SPRING!
 This was my first vintage scale I found .. its got a big white bowl with a stack of smaller plates inside ..topped with an urn that my daughter had bought at Goodwill and wasn't using ..In the urn is a moss bunny ( Hobby Lobby) surrounded by tulips from Michael's..The little birds are from Hobby Lobby and so is the branch of green thistles.. In the small pedestal bowl is a nest and another of the birds...a little blossom garland is wrapped around the nest with a few blue speckled eggs..
We went to Homegoods the other day and I found this bunny sugar bowl ( $3.99)  and added it to the bottom tray ..now this is even more my favorite vignette!
This wire cloche was in the dining room ..its filled with a couple vintage chickens and a little wood box for height.
Naptime ..:) and yesterday this hawk came and landed on our fence while I was out there starting yard cleanup.. he was huge ! wish I would have had my camera ,this photo is from my phone.


I hope you all have wonderful weekends! It's been pretty warm here ..maybe even 60 today ..there is still a lot of snow in our yard. Hoping it will be gone soon !

DIY Burlap Spring Wreath

 Good Morning !
I am sharing my so easy spring burlap wreath. I made this burlap wreath last fall .. I have used it mostly for a centerpiece. Now it s hanging on the door to the basement that is in the kitchen ..
 I made a bow from some of the white burlap left from making my burlap table runner .I used a pipe cleaner to attach it to the wreath. I want to reuse the wreath so the spring elements are just tucked in.
 I used 2 stems of forsythias and bent the ends up. I tucked the wired edge under the burlap bow in some of the burlap wreath loops. Its been hanging on my door for a week and has stayed perfectly.
 I bought a nest and added some twigs from the yard and some of the sprigs of forsythia using hot glue.
 Then tuck the nest on top and use some of the burlap loops to hold it...you could also use a pipe cleaner to wire it to the wreath if you feel you need more security.
These are the ways I have previously used the burlap wreath..

 for a spring centerpiece

 for a Thanksgiving centerpiece ..
and my Christmas centerpiece. Love all the ways you can use a burlap wreath and they are so simple !
Thanks so much for stopping by ! I would love for you to follow me on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest ..all the links are in the sidebar !
