DIY Spring/Summer Wreath

We moved into our house a couple weeks before Christmas, but things were crazy and we hardly even got to decorate for that. We were more worried about simply unpacking and finding all of our things in the boxes. Slowly but surely the boxes have been unpacked and the house is getting decorated, one part at a time.

The weather has been really nice lately so and I try and take our pup Bentley for walks around the neighborhood as often as I can, especially before it starts to get really hot. As we walk around the neighborhood there is one big trend I noticed... wreaths on all of the front doors. They range is style and I love it, shows a little bit of the personality of the owners. I knew I wanted to one for our door as well, one for Spring & Summer then likely change it out for Fall then Christmas. However after realizing how much people charged for these things, I set out to create it myself, plus I'm always down for a good DIY project. So I set out to Michael's to get supplies, I had a 40% off everything coupon which worked out great.

Here is what I bought:

• One twig pre-assembled wreath 
• Four white hydrangea stems 
• One burlap and lace bow (Michael's had a section of pre-made bows but you can also create your own) 
• One wooden letter "B"
• White Paint 
• Wreath Hanger (Actually I forgot this and had to go back for it later) 

What I did:

• Paint the wooden letter "B" with white paint and set aside to dry
• Cut the hydrangea stems to size using sharp scissors and pliers, this takes some time and effort  
• Fasten the bow to desired spot with attached wire
• Stick hydrangea stems through the wreath twigs surrounding bow, once I stuck them in they were pretty secure but you can also add some hot glue 
• Attach wooden letter with hot glue 
• Hang wreath hook on the door, hang wreath and admire! 

I love the way this turned out and the look it gives our entry way. I cant wait to create a couple other versions in the fall and winter to swap it out with.
