St Patty Wreath

Geez this one took me forever!! 

Not because it was hard.... IT WAS SUPER EASY, 
but
I just couldnt make myself sit down and FINISH it, so it was done in like 6 sittings.
oh well...

DONE NOW!
Paper Rosette
(View my Tutorial HERE)

Glued to a Styrofoam Wreath

Center filled with Flowers

and finished on with some Ribbon and a Frame

Oh and here's my "fuel" for this project....


ok ok, the Diet Coke isnt just fuel for this one... 
Its Fuel for my whole day - Everyday!



I like her :)
Especially on my red front door!!


and being made mostly of Dollar Store items... super cheap!!

Project Cost

Styrofoam Wreath $1
Crepe Paper $1
Green Flowers $2 ( I used two bunches/ $1 ea.)
 Frame - Already Had
( but it was a yard sale find from last summer - Pottery Barn and I got 2 of them - matching, for $5)
Ribbon - Already Had


Total Cost $4!! FABULESS!



Oh, and here's a coming up project... Pretty Bare off to the left, huh?..Don't worry.. I have some Ideas ;)
Ummmmm.... 
Nevermind that it is hanging CROOKED on my door... or that I didn't bother to pick up MR. FabuLESS's shoes before snapping a pic!

  28. Your wreath is gorgeous. I'm wondering how you hung it on your door? I don't see one of those over the door wreath hangers...do you use a 3M hook?
