Winter Wonderland Wreath

Hi, friends!  Welcome to the first annual  Winter Fun Blog Walk.    

                                       




Myrna and Joye from The Busy Bees are sharing 8 Warm You Up Meals in Bowls 

Marci from Stone Cottage Adventures is sharing 6 Winter Sewing Projects

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. 
          
alt="Wreath makeover using Snow flocking"

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.

So cute. I just love red birds - so bright against the whites of winter.

Jennifer @ Town and Country Living said...

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

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'!

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.

Unknown said...

Thank you so much, and thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend. :)

Unknown said...

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

Unknown said...

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 your wreath is beautiful!

srpprcrftr said...

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.

Unknown said...

Just adorable Kathy! What a transformation! I have to admit, I like it now even better! Well done!

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 :)

The most common ways to treat erectile dysfunction or ED is through penile injection, or what is commonly known as an ED injection. This method of treatment was created as an alternative to oral treatments and works by injecting medication into the corpus cavernosum of the penile tissue. The medication is then absorbed into the penile tissue where it dilates the blood vessels and releases nitric oxide. It is for this reason that penile injections are widely considered the most effective form of treatment for erectile dysfunction. ED injections are one of the most effective methods of treating erectile dysfunction. They work by increasing blood flow to the private part, allowing for a harder erection. buy trimix injections online, erectile dysfunction injection cost, trimix for erectile dysfunction, where to buy trimix.

Corn flour is a great Anglo-American product for use in a range of dishes and recipes. You can use it to make pizza dough and you can use it to make pancakes. Corn flour has a very simple taste, but the flavor of the food you cook with it is the flavor of your meal. In some ethnic cuisines, corn flour is mixed with beans or rice to make a dessert. It's important to note, however, that corn flour is not the same as corn starch.! Corn Flour Meaning In Hindi Maida is makke ka aanta. Corn flour has a texture similar to that of rice flour. That's why it works so well in creating a dough. Because it is similar to rice flour, however, it is not gluten-free.
