DIY Simple Green Wreath

I have this DIY chalkboard  sitting in our dining room in our new rental that was pretty empty & bare. I knew I wanted to hang a wreath on it, & I looked around for one that I loved for a few weeks. I found a few that I liked, but at $40+ I wasn’t really that into them. So, what does a DIY-er do when we are faced with this issue? We make our own! This little wreath is so simple & only took me about 15 minutes to complete. Oh, & did I mention it cost around $12 to make?

Ok. Let’s get this simple wreath going! First you are going to need some floral wire {I used two kinds, the plain green floral wire and the brown covered wire} & than a strand of garland. I found all of these items in the same aisle at Michael’s. Convenient. You might already have some wire on hand & be sure to use a coupon for the garland.

` Make a circle with the brown garland wire & twist to secure the circle.

` Start wrapping the garland around the circle & secure it with the green floral wire.

`Trim all the wire & the ends with wire cutters.

`Keep wrapping the garland around the circle brown floral wire & securing it with the smaller wire.

` After all of the garland is secure tuck & trim all the loose pieces until you are happy with how it looks.

` I hung the wreath by wrapping a piece of the floral wire around a nail at the top of the window.

& there you have it! The quickest loveliest green wreath that you ever did see!

& I still haven’t advanced in my chalkboard skills. Usually Mr. LMB is in charge of all chalkboards in the house, but I gave him the week off. I’m envious of his chalk skills for real.
