Are you ready to say goodbye to winter coats, snow and dark colors?

Why not say Hello to Spring with a new wreath for your front door?

Today my “Inspired By” group is sharing Spring Wreaths. 

You can see all of my behind the scenes on the blog by following on Instagram.

The full list of spring wreaths is below.

This wreath has been on my front door 1 year too many. It's pretty, but just doesn't look fresh any longer. Not to mention how dirty looking the greenery and flowers look. 

Honestly, I just wanted something different, but really didn't want the expense of what the old one cost me.

So I proceeded to take this one apart just like I did my old fall wreath HERE.

Resist the urge to donate the entire wreath. The grapevine wreath is the perfect shape and size for my door. 

I  carefully removed the flowers and greens. I decided to experiment here. I took the greens and flowers that I wanted to try to salvage to the sink and washed them with a little Dawn. WOW! They actually cleaned up well. 

I discovered that I could use a lot of this old wreath to build a new wreath.

This is all that I purchased…. A few fresh flowers and spool of wired spring ribbon for the bow. The adorable “Welcome Spring” rusty bucket hanger was a recent thrift store find. It's the perfect size for a wreath. Lucky for me the new flowers and ribbon were on sale 50% off.

I already had on hand the following: small bird, florists foam, wire, hot glue gun and wide unwired burlap ribbon.

Here is the original grapevine wreath all cleaned up.

I like to skimp on the expensive ribbon and use my burlap ribbon that I buy in bulk for projects like this. I just wrapped a portion of the wreath for added texture and secured it behind with a little hot blue.

The little bucket has 2 tiny holes on it where the handle is attached. I pushed wire through it to secure it to the wreath. Before that I stuffed a bit of florist foam inside. I had to cut it to fit. Then just inserted a few flowers.

TIP: It's ok to cut up those sprays of flowers you buy. Just use a pair of wire cutters and cut to the desired height. I cut all of the stems apart that I buy. It works best like that for wreaths and small projects.

I did end up stuffing a little moss inside the bucket to hide the green florist foam…somewhat.

For the flowers here, I just inserted and worked them into the grapevine. The bow is wired and secured to the wreath. I am so please that I was able to use so much of the old stuff.

I'll be sharing more of my spring porch soon. 

Now it's time to go pack all those winter clothes away…except it has turned cold again. Typical southern weather. Flip flops one day, boots the next.

    Love your spring wreath, Christy! You’d never know that it was made from recycled items. That little bucket it too cute. And please spills the beans – where do you get your burlap ribbon from?

    Oh it does look better!! I really like the use of just a few colors rather than many. It gives it a rich classy look; Great job!!

    Hi my friend – there is nothing better than re-using items to create something else. There is a sense of accomplishment isn’t there. I think what I like most is the bow (oh my love that print!) and the rusty little basket. What a great find. I would never have known you recycled an old wreath if you had not told us. Great job. I loved being part of the “Inspired by Spring Wreaths” Blog Hopw with you. Can’t wait for next month. xxoo, Barb

    So pretty! I love the colors and the ribbon and that adorable thrift store find. And I did chuckle for a moment when you listed having a bird “on hand” …

    So happy to be sharing Spring wreaths with you on this Saturday!

    🙂 Linda

    Beautiful wreath, Christy! I like how you wrapped burlap around one portion of it. I need to remember that tip for the next wreath I make. I also never throw a wreath away. The last wreath I made used two grapevine wreaths that my grandfather made in the late 80’s wired together. I’m sure he was looking down at me smiling. (Pinning and sharing on FB!)

Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestion Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestions about my back yesterday. I did absolutely nothing and rested it. I slept better last night, and it's much better today. Last year on this very day, I posted our winter mantel. I loved this look. We enjoyed it so much throughout January. Keep on using your fresh greenery and twinkle lights if it makes you happy! Going through old ideas has me inspired to spruce up our mantel. Sadly, I haven't really done anything to it since Christmas. I went straight from putting up Christmas to painting the mudroom! Have a cozy evening! Visit the blog with the link in bio @oursouthernhome Just type in WINTER MANTEL in the search bar.

This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’ This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’t happen! It’s the first one of the new year! I was 1/2 way through the project while simultaneously painting the mud room cabinets. Down on the floor painting lower cabinets and twisted a certain way which did something to my lower back/hip. Ugh!!!! I got it done with the help of @ashlyn_little ⭐️ I couldn’t sleep and currently on heating pad. I’m going to be useless today! Any remedy ideas? I’ve got to get back to painting! I can’t take things in disarray. Lol! I’ll be working on the laptop in bed today I guess and checking out the other projects from my blogging friends! Link in bio and stories to the blog post!

Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie  here! My grandma has taken a little break from social media and the blog to enjoy time with us before Woods and Ashlyn started classes back at Clemson. Personally...I’m ready to see her get out of sweats and put some makeup on! She did finally get all the Christmas packed away. With the tree gone, I’ve got my other bed back in the den! I think she’s coming off a sugar high. She mentioned that all the Hershey kisses were gone. Oh, well! Things are getting back to normal around here! Maybe they’ll get me a haircut!

I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER! I wore them for the first time out Saturday night for our anniversary dinner! @lovechicos Now I want to wear them all the time! They are so comfy, stretchy, lightweight and just freaking fabulous! ❤️ Paired them with a sweater from @amazonfashion so it toned the look down a bit. I felt dressy casual. I’m also going to be wearing them with a white sweatshirt and tennis shoes! Life is too short.....So wear the sequins! Follow me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to get the product details for this look and others http://liketk.it/34KjY #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKNewYear #StayHomeWithLTK

You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s right! I’m not doing a darn thing today. I always lounge the day after Christmas to recoup after days of cooking. After Christmas is when I can finally relax a bit and enjoy the beauty of the season. I finally watched Little Women this morning and loved. Now I’m watching season 2 of Virgin River. How are you spending your Saturday? I’ll be getting dressed later this evening for our anniversary dinner. #31years tomorrow! 🥂

Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Chri Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Christmas Eve Birthday with my family. I’ll admit, it’s been a busy day of chores, but it’s been extra special because the kids are both home with us. Hunkering in for the evening. Here’s a tip when you’re wanting to feel put together at home. @spanx faux leather leggings work dressed up or down! Add a pair of @isotoner.us ballet slippers and you can fake a ballet flat at home! Over the knee boots and scarf are Amazon finds. I’ll be linking the look in the #liketoknowit app soon. Merry Christmas Eve!
