Paper Umbrella Wreath

A very special 3 year old’s birthday is coming up soon and prep has begun! If you have seen Pixar’s Inside Out, then you have seen the short, Lava. My kiddo fell instantly in (should I say it?) “lava!”  Haha!

Thanks to the Family Chic blog, I made my version of her paper umbrella wreath for the front door. All I used was a foam wreath and those cheap, little, paper cocktail umbrellas.

After opening them up, all you do is push them through the foam.  I learned about half way through though that it was much easier to push them through when I broke off the ends of the toothpick to make them a little shorter.

I was pleasantly surprised at how easy this was and how good the finished product looked!  Get all the supplies here!



Christmas Wreath

My last post before Christmas is a super simple wreath. All you need is a premade wreath, I chose a silver tinsel one, some coordinating ornaments, and those cheap wire ornament hooks.

Once you figure out where you would like to place an ornament, pull the wire through and around the frame of the wreath.  A couple twists should secure it.To evenly spread out the colors, I started with the blues, then greens, then silvers as those blended into the wreath the most.

I love how it glistens in the sun and reflects our colorful Christmas lights.

 Merry Christmas everyone!
