It seems once January hits I hunker down and slip into hibernation mode. I can't believe it's been almost two weeks since my last post. The days have been slipping by at an alarming rate. I have been keeping myself busy organizing the house and completing a few projects off the 'ol to-do list.
One such project I'll share today.
I live in the split entry home with a very small entry (it's more of a landing than entry). It's a very tough place add any sort of decoration since every available inch is needed for maneuvering around and out the door. The entry's saving grace is a small wall halfway up the steps into the living room and kitchen area. It's the perfect place to add a little "me", and an area that has been neglected for a long time.
I thought a paper wreath would fit the space perfectly. After digging out my glue gun this is what I came up with.
Here you can see it hanging in the entry way.
Here's a close up of the middle. I used a little vintage lace to add a some softness.
Hope you enjoy your day, and stay warm (brr it's cold here)

I really like it. I'm thinking of doing a wreath with old music paper. Thanks for sharing yours. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! Your wreath is gorgeous! Love it.
ReplyDeleteThat came out so well. I love the middle part. I tried one before Christmas and I never even finished it, because it looked really really bad (it ended up being lopsided). So I admire you ability to make yours look so pretty.
ReplyDeleteHi Robin,
ReplyDeleteI've been wondering where you were and hoping everything was okay.
I LOVE your wreathe, I haven't made one yet, but yours is so pretty that I really must. And it looks fabulous where you put it.
Hugs, Cindy
So cute! My house is split-entry too so I know what you mean about the foyer not being big! I don't have the half wall though. Mine is full to the ceiling because a closet is built in it. Looks like we both have yellow walls :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Robin! Great project for these cold days--

This is beautiful, I love the scale of it on the wall; it's perfect! I have not tried one of these before, but I would love to have one; I may have to try it!
