“Hello” Grapevine Wreath

Hey guys! I decided it was time to go out with the Easter décor and in with the more neutral Spring décor.  I really enjoy creating cute grapevine wreaths for each season/holiday so I always make sure I have a couple on hand at all times!  Here are a list of supplies I used for this one.

  • Grapevine wreath (Hobby Lobby)
  • Wooden “hello” cutout (Hobby Lobby)
  • Floral sprigs of your choice (Hobby Lobby)
  • Apple Barrel paint-I used the Key West color
  • Paint brush
  • Ribbon of your choice for bow (optional)
  • Raffia (optional)
  • Scissors/wire cutters
  • Glue gun-here is my affiliate link for the cordless one I use https://amzn.to/2GNDuXZ

Now for the fun part!  The first thing I did was paint my “hello” so it could be drying while I assemble the rest of the wreath.

Next it’s time to add your floral sprigs to the grapevine wreath. There is no right or wrong way to do this.  I just stick mine directly in the wreath. If need be you can certainly use your glue gun to secure them.

I always like to add a bow to my wreaths but you definitely wouldn’t have to if you didn’t want to! If you have watched any of my videos on my Facebook page you have probably seen me make this bow before. I found my ribbon at the dollar tree but you can use anything you have on hand. I like to use wired burlap as the base of my bow and one or two other types of ribbon.  After you have chosen your ribbon you will want to cut your pieces of ribbon to similar lengths. Usually 4-5 inches is ideal depending on the size of bow desired.

I like to throw in some raffia to add a little something extra to my bow so just grab a bunch and put it right in the center of your bow. You will then take a couple extra strands of the raffia to wrap around the center of your bow to tie it off.  You will want to flip your bow over and tie the extra strands of raffia as tight as you can to form your bow.

Once you have finished tying your bow you can cut off the excess raffia from the back and then flip your bow over and mess with it until you get it how you like it.

Now you are ready to glue on your “hello” and your bow!

SPRING BARN WOOD SIGN

Do you have some extra barn wood laying around that your not sure what to do with? Here is a quick and easy idea to not only use up some of your old barn wood but to make some cute home décor as well!

Supplies you will need:
*Piece of barn wood or scrap wood

*S-P-R-I-N-G letters(I used the 4 in. letters from the Wal-mart craft section)

*Mint Berry cardstock from Hobby Lobby. This comes with 80 4.5in x 6.5in. sheets. You could also use single sheets of cardstock or scrapbook paper.

*Mod Podge

*Paint brush

*Scissors

*Hot glue gun- Here is my affiliate link for my cordless glue gun I use…and LOVE!

The first thing you will want to do is trace each letter onto your desired piece of card stock or scrapbook paper and then cut them out.

Once you have all of you letters traced and cut out you will then use the Mod Podge to glue the paper on the letters. After I have my paper glued on I like to paint a light coat over the top of the paper also to help seal the letter. Keep in mind the Mod Podge does try clear!

You are now ready to hot glue your letters on your piece of wood. You can position your letters vertical or horizontal on your board. I decided I liked my letters horizontally for this project.



That’s all there is to it! Super cute and easy enough, right?

XOXO,

DIY Wood Bead Garland

Who else is loving decorating with wood bead garland? Well, your in luck! This blog post will show you how to make your own wood bead garland in no time. You can certainly tweak this to make it your own but I thought why not throw in some pops of color!

Here are the supplies you will need:

*Jute twine

*5/8″ ribbon of your choice(optional) I got mine at Dollar Tree

*1 inch Wooden beads(Amazon affiliate link)

*Scissors

I did a live video of me making wood bead garland and have included that below. These can be so versatile. I used red and blue ribbon in the garland I made in the video but you can easily switch out your colors of ribbon/tassels to make it more neutral or to make it for another season/holiday.

Here is another wood bead garland I made the same way but simply changed out the color of ribbon I used to make it more Springy!

DIY Easter Wreath

Who doesn’t love some easy diy holiday décor? This wreath is super cute and very easy to make! I am sharing my live video of me making the wreath as I thought it would be easier for you to watch rather than for me to try and explain. The bow is very easy to make but can be a little tricky to try and explain.

Here are the supplies I used for this project.

*Medium sized grape vine wreath from Hobby Lobby

*Easter egg garland from Hobby Lobby

*Galvanized/wood Easter bunny from Hobby Lobby

*Various Easter ribbon and burlap

*Raffia(optional)
