Easy Summer Wreath

As much as I love my cereal box star wreath, now that July is coming to an end it is time for a new wreath. Some of you may already be looking to fall wreaths, but we have another two good months of summer left, so I made a summer wreath. I found this summer wreath on pinterest and it took me to Living, Loving, Crafting. I loved it right away and set out to make my own. The funny thing is that I didn't realize how similar they turned out until I went back today to make sure to get the right link for this blog post. Great minds think alike, and pick out the same paint and ribbon. I think that's how the full saying goes.

Anyway, here is what you need to make this great summer wreath.
18 inch grapevine wreath- Micheal's had the best price by far. I found mine for $5.
Flowers- I got 2 bunches from the dollar store
Numbers for your address- I got mine at Joanns for $2 a piece, but I think I could have found them cheaper elsewhere.
Ribbon
Spray Paint- I used Krylon Blue Ocean Breeze, leftover from my soda bottles project, $3.50 at Walmart.
Hot Glue

Step 1- Sand down the edges of the numbers and spray paint them. I made sure to really cover the front and sides with paint, but I didn't worry too much about the backs, except for the 3 which I didn't notice until I was about ready to glue had been sprayed backwards.

Step 2- I pulled all of the flowers off of their stems and hot glued them to the wreath. It would have been nice to have a few more flowers, but I didn't want to make another trip to the dollar store. The nice thing was that even once they were glued on it was still pretty easy for me to pop them back off to rearrange them.

Step 3- I glued my numbers on and tied a simple bow on to top it all off.

Overall a very simple wreath. I love the bright colors. It just makes our front door look so happy and inviting.
