Proud Moment

I love when something turns out better than you thought it would. Here's my moment this week when that happened.

Since we bought our house, I've wanted to make some wreaths for our front door. Our Christmas wreath currently is a pathetic green wreath with nothing on it. It's been that way for a few years. This year, I am getting wreaths done. It's my goal.

So I made a spring wreath. I found the idea on Pinterest.

Finished product

Made by hot glueing gumballs to a styrofoam wreath

Lots of gumballs and lots of hot glue. Then I spray painted it and added the finishing touches

 

I probably wouldn't recommend this wreath to others. While I like how it looks, it is pretty heavy. Also, in case you're wondering, gumballs are pricier than I wanted. And I bought some, thinking that would be enough. But it wasn't. So I had to buy more, which made me upset about it. But once I started, I had to finish. Spray painting it was trickier because of all the surfaces and crevices to get. However, I think it looks pretty and makes me think of spring even though the weather is not very spring-y right now.
