A winter wreath? Yes, I am starting to get spring fever and no matter how crazy Mother Nature is being right now I know that we still have quite a few weeks of winter left here in the mid-west.
This month for the Craft Room De-Stash Challenge I dug through the various winter branches I purchased for 70% off at the Michael’s after Christmas clearance sale and used them to make this quick and easy winter wreath. I love the red berries against the white, glittery branches and the red gingham “home” plaque is the perfect accent at the top of my winter wreath.
Once again, I didn’t have to purchase a thing for this winter wreath because I have been hoarding saving these supplies in my craft room for a very long time. I literally put this quick and easy winter wreath together within 10 minutes using a drastically ugly grapevine wreath I purchased for $1. Take a peek at the before pics of my ugly wreath. The only reason I purchased it was because you can’t get a grapevine wreath at the craft store for anything close to $1.
I ripped off the strand of burnt out Christmas lights and stripped off the smashed gold ribbon and ugly berries. I was going to spray paint it white but once I had a naked grapevine wreath I was kind of fond of the gold color and opted to leave it as is. Which made my project all that more easier. I weaved the branches into the grapevine wreath and secured them with some wire.
I was going to add a bow to the top but decided that this gingham red “home” plaque that I found in a drawer in my craft room was the perfect accent and popped with the red berries against the white branches.
Alas, my quick and easy winter wreath is hanging on my front porch and I have successfully participated in another Craft Room De-Stash. Click here to see my January Craft Room De-Stash project.
great job, Denise! I found an ugly wreath at a yard sale and forgot I had it, your post inspired me to upcycle it!!
Thanks Kellie….can’t wait to see your ugly wreath transformation.
I love your upcycle project! One of my favorite things to look for at the thrift store are ugly wreaths that I can makeover.
This is so pretty!
Thank you Medina and thank you for stopping by to visit.
A great Craft de-stash! So glad I got to see the Ugly wreath too! Amazing
Thanks Debbie. It was super ugly but I’m quite happy with my new wreath.
Turned out amazing! Really like the white and red in combination with the gingham welcome sign!
WOW! I love how you saw the potential and took it from ugly to pretty! This has inspired me to be on the lookout for ugly wreaths to upcycle.
Oh I love this. I realized yesterday that my Christmas wreath is still hanging on our front door. (Shows you how much we use that door.)
Oh, that was quite the makeover. It looks so much prettier with the new colors and branches.
This is great! I really need to do something for my front door. I’d love to see you link this up to our next #HomeMattersParty
Most definitely a great improvement! Your photo labeled “ugly winter wreath” made me laugh! Great makeover, and I love how you added it to the teal frame. Pinned!
That is one seriously upgraded makeover, lol. Your version is so much prettier! I have the supplies to make one on hand since I got a bunch of those post-Christmas clearance bags from Michael’s and willow wreaths from Dollar Tree. Yay to “free” wreaths, right!?
I LOVE this. Those red snow covered berries are amazing, and that frame is just perfect. Great job. Love.
Nicely done! I love the idea of a non-Christmas winter wreath to get through those post holiday winter months.
Exactly…..we had warm weather two days ago and tonight snow flurries. I knew it was too early to get completely away from winter.
Love how you updated this wreath. It’s so pretty now!
Thank you Michelle, I like it too.
Very cute idea! I’m DEFINITELY ready for some spring weather, but I too know that it will feel like winter for a little while longer.
Snow flurries tonight…so glad I made my winter wreath.
What a great upcycle. It looks very elegant.
