The Makings Of a Spring Door Wreath...

My front door has been bare since January (gasp!)

  Today was the day to finally remedy the situation.  

 I gathered my trusty silk geraniums that I used here and here 

and a bare twig wreath that I most likely recycled from a previous 'look'.  

(It does pay to hang onto stuff!)  I began by trimming the geraniums of 

many of their leaves and stems - was just too much 'green'.

 Then I simply wired them into a 'U' shape to the bottom of the wreath.

 Now I'm the epitome of 'thrifty' at times.  Recently I bought a 

nice length of burlap - but I wasn't really thinking this particular 

project was where I wanted to use the bulk of it.  So I determined 

just 2 strips from 1 end would have to be enough for a bow.

 With 1 of the strips - I made this 'M' shape...

 ...then gathered the bottom edges into a bundle and wired them.

I attached this little cutey to the wreath with the 2nd

 strip and wa-la - a bow using almost no fabric.

 Happy Spring (and maybe summer too!)

Now - don't tell anyone - but my front porch is also bare... (sigh!)
