Fresh Evergreen Wreath.



I purchased a fresh wreath this year from a school fundraiser and decided to get it undecorated so I could add my own twist to it. I was inspired by this image I had pinned on Pinterest.


I figured I could use what I had around the house to make something similar. I used grosgrain ribbon in my new favorite Christmas color scheme of green and turquoise and wired on a few pinecones. Things never turn out as beautiful as the ones that inspires you but I think it's beautiful nonetheless!




That purolator sticker on the door drives me a tad crazy!  I will admit. I have a new love for my green door at Christmas time! It is much more green than it appears in these pictures.

12 more days and 5 school days! I'm fighting a terrible cold but I think we'll make it. 
I have such a nice group of students this year.

    Looks great! I just love your green door... it inspired me to paint my own door green! Your door is much nicer than mine with all its vintage charm!

    I think your wreath turned out fabulous! The green door is so pretty with the hanging ribbon too. I just made my first wreath to hang on our newly stormless door...I can't wait to hang it tonight.

    This was always my favorite time of year for teaching. There is such a great energy in the classroom. And the break will be wonderful. Darling wreath.
