a spring wreath

so i really wanted to make a spring wreath.
for free.
because that's how i roll.
i thought the christmas wreath on our door in march was looking a bit lame.
i dug around my box o' easter stuff and found these eggs.

i plucked the ribbons out decided to try to spray paint them
i used my caramel latte spray paint which is a really pretty, shimmery, goldish-silverish color.

 [ignore the ginormous basketball in the background. thank you]

i thought they would look sparkly & fresh against my white wreath (grapevine wreath spray painted white).

this is the result.  i'm embarrassed to even show you.  but i am a good friend. and honesty is the best policy.

 i know. i know. it's hideous.

okay, do i get an A for effort? 
no, i do not.  

and that is just sad.  a sad, sad, little easter wreath.
1st of all only 2 of the 3 eggs made it because did you know that spray paint eats styrofoam???
it does.  which any person with a brain would have thought of.
i tried to balance it out with the burlap bow.
but no, it's just not happening.
plus it looks a little vulgar if i'm being honest.


moving on.

i won't be deterred by one failed attempt. 

soooo, i dug around in my fabric stash and made these pretty little flowers.

i love them.
i just quickly cut some circles out of springy colored fabrics and hot glued them together.
i did not try to be perfect at all.  i think they look cuter that way.
i added some buttons on top and hot glued the whole cute mess to the wreath.

then i took 10 pictures of my wreath because i love it so much i want to marry it.
i think it's simple and nice and it makes me happy.
and it took me 10 minutes.
and i like any project that requires a glue gun.

okay just one more.

sometime i would like to learn how to make some like hers.
i like how sticky-outy they are.
but i didn't have time to google that today.
