DIY- Wreaths and Arrangements

I have been helping Hobby Lobby stay in business this summer and have hit it up several times the last 3 weeks.  Adam is at the point now when I say I am going to Ocala to run errands he cringes at the thought of me “swinging” by Hobby Lobby. 

We met friends for lunch last weekend and after Torie and I went to HL.  I had a list of things I needed and was determined to go get just those things but when I saw that floral stems were half off my goal was not met.  I was thrilled because when I was there the week before they were full price and I have been wanting to make a simple wreath for the front door for non holiday times. 

New to the DIY post I did not take a picture of all my materials prior to assembling my wreath.  Here is the scraps and my stem loppers.  I was too cheap to buy the 7.99 floral stem cutters and decided that our yard loppers would do. 

With a vine wreath and 2 gorgeous magnolia stems and a little bit of floral stem tape I made my simple yet classic front door wreath.

Excuse the dying ferns that are in need of water.  I think it looks a bit more welcoming but looking at this picture makes me want to paint that white door black.  Another possible DIY project for later!

While I was busy working on my wreath Torie was busy working on hers. She also bought the pitcher and vase half off at HL and was more adventurous than I and wanted to make arrangements for them. 

Here are Torie’s 3 finished DIY projects which turned out great and really blend well with the décor of her house.  It was a fun afternoon of crafting together.
