Y'all know I like to upcycle things...

 

Well, over the holidays the youngest ordered 

some new computer things and one box had a 

neat little styrofoam square in it --

And I immediately thought that it would make a cute wreath for the door if it was covered in burlap - 

And I have a TON of burlap that I've saved from using on our camping tables before everyone started carrying the [much more] easy to use 'runners' you can get now --

I was especially glad to see that I had a whole roll of wide burlap ribbon [I guess that's what you'd call this - it's finished on each side so you don't have deal with all the fray that 
raw edges of burlap tends to have - ]

So I wrapped it, and wrapped it, twisting it along the way so that it bulked up a bit and covered the square completely. 

I just tucked the end into one of the folds, 

so there's no glue involved.

 I kinda love it - 

And plan to use it for lots of different seasons --

I added a few things I had leftover 

to make it a Mardi Gras Wreath...

But I love it as a cute Easter Wreath with this bunny 

that's been hanging out on our door 

for more than a few years now... 

It'll go up on Wednesday - 

and then after that I have an initial [H] that I'll put on it 

so that I can  put my own twist on the trendy initials

we're seeing on everyone's doors these days... 

Then I'll probably put on flags,

and add a little red-white-and-blue for the summer... 

ooooo, or maybe sunflowers, wouldn't that be cute?!

But for now, it's waiting for Easter 

since I already have a wreath  for Mardi Gras -

-- Don't eat too many moon pies, y'all!
