Pinterest's got nothin' on me PART 2

Since I had built a beautiful wreath holder for my front porch, I went searching for a wreath.  HOLY COW WREATHS ARE EXPENSIVE!!!!  Again, I turn to Pinterest for inspiration.


This is the wreath that I found that I liked best:
Love this spring wreath. 

But, could I actually recreate it?


Off to Hobby Lobby I went.  Seriously, what did we ever do before Hobby Lobby (and Pinterest?)


Floral was 1/2 off so I bought 4 $4 bunches.  I had a 40% off coupon for the wreath base.  I also found all the envelope seals for Addyson's graduation announcements on clearance.  Total spent was just under $17!  


So, how did it turn out?




I like it.  I really like it.  






Here's the view of the front entry now.  




I suppose flowers for the empty pot is my next project.

my mom just showed me a trick she learned (from pinterest of course) for potted plants. Throw some empty water or soda bottles in the bottom half so it isn't as heavy or need as much potting soil. Most little plants that you'd put in a pot only need a few more inches of soil to thrive. I did it with my porch pots and they're doing well. I think it helps with drainage also. Cute wreath! Happy Springtime!
