Well...this wreath was one step away from the garbage can and then a teeny tiny light bulb went off. The older I get the less wasteful I try to be. I think it is an age thing....Anyways I decided that I would give it a makeover, sort of a glamour shot for wreaths!
First I dissected the wreath removing the bunches of twigs and then removing the berries from the twigs. I trimmed up the twigs and tied them back onto the wreath.
When my mom destashes her craft stuff she always asks me if I want it and of course I take it!
The leaves and cedar acorns are from her stash. I had the pumpkins and bittersweet. I added a little glitter to the top of the acorns.
A few hours later and I have a new fall wreath!
It turned out fabulous! You are one talented girl....!

Look at you, being all cute and re-purpose-ful! I'm impressed. Glad to see I'm not the only one to reuse stuff and make it cuter/better/whatever. Your wreath turned out beautifully, and I'm so glad to have a give-stuff-new-life BFF.

Oh it's just beautiful! I love the touch of glitter on the acorns!
