Blooming Wreath

Ok, so it's not really blooming..but I needed to call it something.

Sad story: Remember my split pea wreath? Well, one day I heard a big crash, and when I went to check it out, there lay my wreath on the ground. It had "split" open...pardon the pun;) I had it hanging on a sticky hook and the hook just fell of the door...not so sticky I guess. Lesson learned for sure! For this one I screwed a chandelier hook into the door. This thing ain't going anywhere!!!

So I needed a new wreath.

Not as clever as my split peas, but I think it is kind of purdy.

And I got to use leftover fabric from my lamp shades. I just can't seem to get away from the green and white. Does anyone else have this problem? I am so tunnel visioned when it comes to color.

Split Pea Wreath

I finally put a wreath up on the front door. I have officially moved in!

I saw on one of the million craft blogs that I look at everyday, that someone had made those awesome decorative balls with split peas. Love the idea. So I thought I could do it with a wreath.

Got me a Styrofoam wreath from Michael's with my 45% off coupon (oh yeah!!)

2 bags of split peas from Walmart $0.79 a bag!
And I only used about 1 ish.

Made a mess with glue and peas. I think I will be finding these around the house for weeks. I found one stuck to my arm this morning when I woke up. Yeah..we slept together;)
When I got all the peas on I gave it a spray with some gloss finishing spray stuff. How is that for vague. I was trying to really set the peas.

Gave it a flower and hung with ribbon. I am in love.

Oh and don't be jealous of my lovely taupe flat front door! We do live in military housing after all. I just may give this door a face lift sometime soon....
