I have an easy way to pretty up a faux green wreath. I have three inexpensive ones I’ve had for a few years. I think I paid $5 if that. For the last couple years, I started adding fresh greens to them and what a difference it makes! I bought two bunches of greens and got some freebies too. Don’t know where to get the freebies? Check out this post where I share my best Holiday Decor Tip.
I secured some of the greens with floral wire and some I tucked into the faux greens. The faux greens have wire stems so you can use them to hold the fresh greens in place too. This only took me a few minutes to do. When the season is over just remove the real greens and store.
Here’s the before and after.
I put one on the side door and two on the outside of the bookshelves in the family room (pic 1.) They are all a little different but I think it makes them look more realistic!
Coming up this week. I share my holiday cleaning checklist, the Christmas edition of 10 Minute Decorating, weeknight shortcut dinner idea and Sundays at Home.
