I love forsythia bushes but don’t actually have any around here, so I was excited when I saw that they were selling wreaths of faux branches at Joann’s. Of course, being at Joann’s meant they were super expensive so I decided to look for the materials at the dollar store. (Actually, I thought I would look for them at other stores and completely struck out but it makes me sound more knowledgeable if I leave out the weeks worth of fruitless flower shopping…) I got 3 bunches of forsythia-ish flowers, a wreath and a bunch of grass for $5 and made this awesome wreath! I love how it looks against the red door. I’ve never made a wreath before and now that I know how, I’m excited about changing it out for the different seasons. Glittery white twigs for winter, red and orange leaves in the fall, daises in the summer or something fun like this cocktail umbrella wreath!
