Easy Door Decor for Spring

My spring wreath

I love forsythia.  I decked out my mantel in it this year and thought I needed that same splash of sunshine on my door.


This look was really easy to create.  No fuss, no hot sticky glue gun and not much moula!  I had the wreath up in the attic.  I got it at a local florist in North Scituate.  It is made out of two layers of twigs that have been twined together onto a metal wreath backing.  I love it plain and I've also used hot glue with shells for the summer before.  But as I said, for spring I wanted happy pops of yellow.



At Michael's, I picked up two artificial branches of forsythia.  They were on sale for 50% off, so I got two for $5.  Using gardening shears I clipped large pieces of forsythia off and kind of wound them into the wreath.  I was going to use twine but realized I didn't even have to bother because they were wedge in pretty good.

And there you are!  A new wreath with no mess for 5 bucks!


I'm sharing my little wreath over at Rhoda's Southern Hospitality link party:
