I have been soooo busy lately, that I haven't been able to join this link-up with Steph @BEAUtiful Mess and Katie @Keep Calm and Carry On. BUT...it is Spring (officially...even though Iowa weather doesn't quite get it) and I needed to make a Spring wreath for our front door. I mean, it's just tacky to have the Winter wreath up past the first day of Spring, right? Well, that's what I told myself. Plus! My parents were coming to visit and I wanted something warm and Springy looking on our front door.
I perused Pinterest for quite some time (#duh) looking for some inspiration for a Spring wreath. I'll tell ya, I was not super impressed! In fact, I only found one Spring looking wreath that was even "acceptable" in my book.
Here is the original pin...
I didn't think there was quite enough color on it, so after browsing through Hobby Lobby for about 5 seconds, I found the colored burlap. *Sigh* Now our door could be complete! All materials used in the making of this wreath came from Hobby Lobby (as will all other crafts since that's all we got!).
Here it is...our Spring wreath.
(I have to make a few minor changes-straightening the left flowers and I think I will add more floral to the wreath overall!)

Materials:
- Stick wreath
- Moss
- Flowers and greenery
- Wooden letter
- Yellow burlap
This wreath was pretty easy to make. The part that took the longest was hot gluing all of the moss onto the wooden letter! The hubs was trying to figure out what I was doing for quite some time with that part. Overall, I'm decently happy with it. I may make a few edits/tweaks, but this is what is on our front door for now!

That looks so cute! And it also looks easy too - which is just my kind of project. I can't handle spending too much time or effort on something! Aint nobody got time fo dat! But this totally looks manageable. And I love your take on it with the colored burlap!
Adorable!
What an adorable wreath! Sometimes things that take a long time really are just the best when they are finished. It's worth the work for sure.
I LOVE it!!! Pretty sure it would be perfect for the future Mrs. Black! :) :) Turns out, I have been keeping Hobby Lobby in business planning the wedding. Trying to go cheap and do things myself. :)
Very cute! I've been wanting to do a spring wreath too! I might have to steal this idea :)
fantastic job! i love hobby lobby, dont forget about their coupon online usually 40% off an item
I love the combination of all the natural looking elements! My favorite part is the pop of the green moss letter against your fabulous red door - its a great color contrast! I am hosting a friday favorites linkup tomorrow at my blog, createdbysk.blogspot.com, and I would love if you considered linking up :)
