And I have to say this new wreath was a lot of fun to make.
Somehow magically, it seemed, all the pieces came together to make it.
All that was needed was just a bit of time to scavenge the great outdoors for materials.
What youll need:
The first step is to form the window frame.
you might refer to ourRustic Driftwood and Fragrant Lavender Window Wreathpost for instructions on how to assemble the frame.
I cant lie…it was fun using the nail gun!
The next step was to secure the birch cross bar to the window frame.
We started in one corner and worked our way around the square layering with the different types of evergreen.
Separately, we drilled a flat piece of tree bark in two spots close to the top edge.
We painted the flat side using black chalk paint aiming for a casual, brush stroke look.
Using fishing line we attached the flat bark to the birch.
The bark sign hangs loosely below.
And the final touch was adding a little pop of colour with a red painted cardinal.
We hunted through our collection of driftwood until we found one that resembled the shape of a bird.
And with Janes artistry skills, a cardinal was formed!
We have to note that the pine needles did start falling off after about four weeks.
The weathers been quite warm so the wreath would likely last longer in the colder weather.
