I made this wreath for my back patio.
I stared with this flat wreath form that I got from Michael's. The styrofoam wreath was more than double the price. I didn't have a 40% off coupon, so, this is what I came home with - he he
Now, I looked at moss at Michael's and it was around 7.99 for a package of moss with three different colors in a bag. Although the bag was a little bigger, it was still $7.99. I went to The Dollar Tree and found these for only $1.00. I bought four bags (which was still cheaper) and used only two. I saved enough money on the moss to pay for the flat wreath form - ha ha.
I really liked the three colors.
I guess four colors, this is really spongy.
I sprayed the flat form with tacky spray and started to stick it on. I also used a little tacky glue in places to make it thicker.
I got this awesome ribbon after Christmas for 90% off. I only paid .69 cents -- YEAH :)
It has a natural look, like the wreath.
I found a nest and bird eggs in my spring supplies.
There you have it, and, the best part is that it cost under $10.00 to make. I really like the natural look, but, I think it looks more like summer. I bet it will be hanging around the back of the house for a while. Thanks for stopping by and have a great week.
XOXO
I am ready to party down HERE.
I agree, I really like the natural look as well. It turned out so wonderful. And to think only $10.
