Kathy from Life on Lakeshore Drive is sharing a Winter Wonderland Wreath
I needed a wreath for my front door, after taking down my Christmas wreath. I decided to give new life to an old wreath that I have. It had been used on the stairs to my deck, and it was badly faded by the sun.
Here is what the wreath looked like before I removed all the decorations.
I bought a can of Snow at Hobby Lobby and gave it 2 coats of "snow". It does say on the can that this is not to be used for flocking, so I gave it 2 lights coats. I made sure it was thoroughly dry in between each coat.
After the snow was dry, I hot glued 3 berry branches on each side of the wreath.
Then I added the bow with snowflakes, and glued the bird on.
I completed the wreath adding a few more birds, pine cones, and a few berries throughout the wreath.
This is a super fast and easy way to bring a little winter into your home. Thank you so much for stopping by! I love it when you stop by for a visit.

Love the clever remake and that darling little cardinal!
So cute. I just love red birds - so bright against the whites of winter.
Great transformation. The red cardinals remind me of my grandmother who always had them on her Christmas tree. This was a nice memory for me. :)
Great wreath, Kathy! I love your clever makeover. -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures
Love the way you revamped the wreath. Perfect for winter yet it is not Christmas-y. Sweet cardinals. xo
The pictures are beautiful, Kathy and I love the wreath! Very "wintry" looking. Linda
Now Kathy... I love the wreath...but where's your Mardi Gras wreath? :)

Oh I love your wreath! It's beautiful!
I made a couple this week to make up for the lack of Christmas decorations, ready to hang them up today. Funny, before I started blogging, I never used winter decorations. I love how it keeps the home looking 'winter festive'!
Debbie :)
Your wreath is stunning! I especially love the flocking effect. Wow! The finished item looks many, many times the price you invested in it!

How creative! I would have grabbed a can of spray paint and most likely ruined the wreathe....using Snow is a wonderful tip. Your wreathe is beautiful and just perfect for continuing the winter season.
Thank you so much! Your grandmother's tree sounds lovely. I love the red against that white. I sure wish we could get some real snow. LOL Thank you so much for stopping, and have a wonderful weekend.
Kathy

I know it!! I've got to get busy on that one. I tried to take my daughter's away from her, but she wouldn't go for it. LOL Have a great weekend. :)
Kathy
Thank you so much! I just followed your awesome blog!! I love it. Have a wonderful weekend. :)
Kathy
Thank you so much, and thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend. :)
Thank you! I agree with you. I never worried about winter decorations until my daughter said everything looked so bare after Christmas. It's much harder to be creative for just winter. :)
Have a wonderful weekend.
Kathy
Thank you so much for your sweet comment. It is amazing what a little paint or "snow" will do. :) Thank you so much for stopping by, and have a wonderful weekend.
Kathy
Kathy your wreath is beautiful!
What a gorgeous transformation, love the snow look. It would fit right in where we live. Having a cold snowy winter, more snow due any time tonight or tomorrow or both.
I love the red against the white. Great idea to snazzy up a little tired wreath to get some more mileage out of it. My favorites on your wreath are the cardinals and berries.
Just adorable Kathy! What a transformation! I have to admit, I like it now even better! Well done!
Really cute, Kathy...love the cardinals!

You are so good at transforming! Nothing says "winter" like a little red cardinal. Love them - so cheery. Pretty with the flocked white "snow." I'd love to see how it looks actually hanging on your front door :)
Very nice wreath transformation! Stopped by from the Aloha Friday Blog Hop! Have a great weekend!
So cute! Love it Kathy...Sara

Kathy,
I am in love with you wreath. It looks so wintery, and I love the red berries and the bird. You did a great job! I hope the new year is being kind to you.

Adorable and very winter like! Great idea to recycle the old one as opposed to running out and buying new!
