Fun Spring Wreath
So excited to finally have the time to make one of my spring wreaths. I have seen on Pinterest a few ways to make clay pot wreaths and they always seem to be paired with succulents. While I do like succulents I wanted something with a little more color and I didn't want to paint the pots. I really wanted the natural beauty of the pots to shine. I have a ton of ribbon flowers left over from my wedding and thought they would be more fun than the succulents. I gathered my supplies and got started.
What you will need

Wire wreath
about 32 clay pots
wire cutters
22 gauged floral wire
hot glue
glue gun
tulle
flowers of choice

First I cut the wire into 32 twelve in pieces. Then I wrapped each pot with a piece of wire and twisted it on like a bread bag. I tried to tie the wire at different heights on the sides of the pots. This way when I attached them to the wreath they would hang a little differently. After I finished putting wire on all of the pots I wrapped the wire wreath with some green tulle. I thought this would help hide the wires from tying the pots on and give it a more spring like look. It also helped hold the pots in place a little better when they were tied on. Finally it was time to attach all of the pots. I found this to be the hardest part. After trying a couple of different ways. I found that if I hung the wreath on a door and attached the pots while it hung was the easiest way to attach them. Once I attached all the pots I honestly didn't like it and thought it looked like a preschooler art project, but I kept going. I thought maybe it's just in that awkward stage and maybe it will get better once the flowers are on.

I started to add the flowers and really didn't like what I saw. The flowers seemed to dark and jewel toned for a spring wreath. I needed something more pastel. So I hung my ugly no flower wreath on the front door until I could find what I needed to finish it. I didn't want to use fake flowers that looked real. I wanted something different like my ribbon flowers. About a week later I was on my Circuit and saw they had some paper flower projects. Finally, I found what I was looking for! I made a ton of paper flowers in some pretty pastel colors and got to work. Once I attached the paper flower it made a big difference and now I love my spring wreath.
