Here's a super easy project that produces a wonderful pop of COLOR!
Supplies:
Wreath form
(I used a 10" dollar store foam)
Newspaper
Potpourri in your choice of color
(I used one 4 oz. bag from the dollar store)
White craft glue
Hot glue gun and extra sticks
Wreath hanger
(I used an extra large gym clip)
Grab an old wreath, wrap it in newspaper,
{and preferably, spray paint it the main color of your potpourri} I'm just now getting over an ugly stomach bug with migraines and did NOT want to smell paint...
Spread out some newspaper on your work surface. Raise up your wreath - I placed mine on top of two jelly jars - you're going to be
using a lot of glue and it will stick to your
work surface if you don't...
Open your potpourri and remove any heavy pieces. Basically, spread the white glue on the entire top surface of the wreath and sprinkle around your potpourri, placing larger sized pieces in your desired locations.
Let dry overnight.
Let dry overnight.
You'll need your hot glue gun and sticks
for the out side and inner areas.
These long pieces are great because they cover
a large area. I used a lot of these on the outside.
The smaller pieces can be used to cover any
obvious holes and gaps.

I plan to hang this in my kitchen window,
where the sun can warm it and scent the entire room!
Happy Wednesday, Y'all!

ReplyDeleteThis is very pretty and I bet smells wonderful too. I like the fact that you wrapped the wreath form in newspaper, great way to re-use the wreath when the scent is gone...just rip it all off and start again. Love it and will be copying you on this one!
Have a great weekend :0)
Thanks for the compliments ladies!
ReplyDeleteI should do this with the old potpourri that I don't throw away. Thanks for coming over and strutting your stuff!
ReplyDeleteThank You! so kind of you to hop over for a visit. Yes, old potpourri is fine. If the scent is long gone, douse it with your favorite essential oil ;-)
DeleteIt looks lovely and I bet it smells great too. Thank you for sharing at the Thursday Favorite Things hop xo
