outdoor wreath



i love having a wreath on the door, but basically everything i put on my door gets ruined. even though the little porch is covered it's bad news. i have been meaning to make a wreath that can stand the weather for a while and it never happens. i finally did it this past weekend. the super talented brynn has a wreath kind of like this and mentioned painting it. i ran with the idea and love it.

i had a slight blogger fail and didn't take pictures along the way, but I did use my new fancy pants camera instead of my crappy cell phone. hopefully they at least cancel each other out.

i bought the wreath at hobby lobby. i bought what i thought was gold even though it was called satin spray paint at joann. i sprayed at least 2 coats on the wreath before realizing i still had gold spray paint leftover from last year. i did another couple of coats of paint. i sprayed mod podge adhesive and sprinkled gold glitter. i used some green ribbon i already had and voila...a wreath for the door that might actually survive the weather.
