Creations, Snowy Winter Wreath

Welcome to the December edition of the Creative Craft Blog Hop!

Thank you to Andrea from Design Morsels for being our hostess

If you’re here from My Thrift Store Addiction, Welcome!

We don’t get much snow in Alabama,

but I love to celebrate the four seasons anyway I can,

so I made this wintery wreath…

Come January it will replace the Christmas one on the front door

I had a tired, green grapevine wreath in my stash

I spray painted it white and then added a layer of silver spray paint

I added a wire garland of glass beads* around the perimeter

*{Pottery Barn years ago}

Digging again through my craft and decor stash,

I chose some sprigs of cotton boles

because the fluffy white cotton reminds me of snow

Then I added a few bottle brush trees and a large pine cone

As much as I liked the pine cone,

I had my heart set on a snowman…

more digging….

and found this one, a perfect fit!

He looked quite happy to participate!

I tucked some trees around him and secured everything with hot glue*

*go back and secure with a more weatherproof glue like E6000

if the wreath is going to be outside

I added a black and white checked and a silver ribbon for a final touch

When January arrives I will greet it with this Snowy Winter Wreath!

It is so much fun to create with things you already have!

Next up is a creation from the super “craft queen” Chas,

    Jenna, Your snowman wreath is so adorable and ready to welcome those winter snowflakes! I can’t believe you already had all the makings in your stash, including your cute snowman! I was wishing yesterday all our cold rain was snow. Happy Thursday ♥

    Not sure what happened to my first comment, Jenna???
    This wreath is perfect for the New-Year.
    Good tip for the glue ;0

    Merry Christmas,

    Bravo, Jenna! Another creative winner! I love this wreath and it’s perfect for welcoming the New Year!

  9. Chloe Crabtree says:

    This is so cute! I agree, I love a wreath that I can keep up through the winter. Your sweet little snowman is adorable!

  10. Cute as can be! I love using the cotton balls on one of my winter wreaths — they’re like little snowballs! This is darling!

  11. Debbee says:

    Jenna, your snowman winter wreath is adorable! I love all your material and embellishment choices, like the PB garland and that cutie pie snowman of course! Living in Alabama, I particular think the fluffy cotton is the perfect substitute for snow. We got 9 inches since yesterday, I’ll be happy to ship you some lol!

  12. Jenna your snowman wreath is adorable. My sister-in-law would go crazy over him as would I. Love working with things you have on hand. I live in Alabama as well so I know about not having all 4 seasons but hopefully we will see snow this winter, maybe just for a few hours. Merry Christmas!

  13. sarator says:

    Cute as a button Jenna! That’s a great craft stash you have 🙂

    Happy holidays!

  14. Chas Greener says:

    Your wreath is so festive and fun. Love that it can be kept up all season too. Happy Holidays friend, and so lovely crafting with you.

  15. I wish I had a stash like yours that had all the fixings for that wreath, it is so cute!

  16. Jenna, that is the cutest winter wreath. We may not see snow, but it has been cold for a few days. I wish I had a stash so I could create magic, well it probably wouldn’t be magic 😂

  17. Nancy says:

    Adorable! This came together so lovely! A fabulous winter wreath!
    No snow here unless I head north to higher elevation!
    Merry Thursday!

  18. What a cute snowman. He makes the wreath. This is so cute and cheerful and boy do we need it this year. Thanks for hopping along with us. Merry Christmas.

  19. Rhonda says:

    Jenna, Sooo cute! You’ve given me ideas. I’m pretty sure that I have a snowman that I could use to make a wreath with. Merry Christmas!!!

  20. Shannon@Belle Bleu Interiors says:

    Jenna, your wreath is absolutely adorable! I love it, and it will not only look great during the Christmas season, but also during the winter months as well. I’m always trying to think of what to decorate with after Christmas. This would be perfect! I hope you are having a most merry week!

    • Thank you Shannon, I have been enjoying my Christmas decorations so much this year, I am already planning on changing it over to sparkly winter decor so I can continue to keep things cheery! I wish you a very merry week too! 🎄

  21. Liberty says:

    Yes, your snowman does look quite happy to participate! I’ve pinned your wreath. Yes, I love crafting with what I have or what has been given to me— sometimes it takes the fun out if I have to buy something! (other times I’m quite pleased to spend money on good deals….)

  22. Rebecca says:

    Jenna, I have to say that I’ve been grateful for my crafting supply hoard this year! I can go a week without leaving the house, so it’s been nice to have the supplies on hand for blog projects. Your snowman wreath is adorable! It will be the perfect door decor until Spring! Merry Christmas!

  23. That is so darling, Jenna! I love the cotton and crystal balls! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

  24. How nice it must be to live somewhere where snow isn’t much of an issue! Here in the Kansas City area, we are always on high alert from November through March and beyond. It’s icky. If it was just a soft, lovely blanket that never seems to get dirty like in the movies it would be different. This stuff…just a nuisance, a health hazard, and a nightmare for driving!!!!! But the cotton replacement is sweet and pretty and NOT hazardous to your health. Very nice!!!!

  25. Carol says:

    Jenna, your snowman wreath is so sweet. It’s perfect for after Christmas with its wintery vibe and soft colors. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

  26. Jenna, I love your snowman wreath. The little trees look wonderful. A simple project, but so darn cute. Enjoy the weekend.

  27. This is so cute! I love the snowman and bottlebrush trees!
