Kimba then did a post on Winter Wreaths here. She listed links to some great ideas....but I fell in love with the gorgeous winter wreath @ StoneGable. So I set out to make my Winter Wreath......
After a few trips to Michaels, I couldn't find any silver leaves like she used, and then it occurred to me - spray painting my wreath white, wouldn't really show up on my WHITE front door any way.
It may have turned out a little bit springy......but hey, better to be AHEAD of the season instead of behind!
I started out with this wreath I've had for years and was becoming rather tired of.1. Remove the metal star and homespun fabric
2. For $3 each I purchased 4 stems at Michaels, 2 of the white plastic "paper coin" branches (like StoneGable used) and 2 yellow/green flower stems
3. Break the stems down, pull/cut the flowers/coins off the stem so you have little individual bunches.
4. Randomly hot glue all around the wreath.
I know it's not rocket science................and it's nothing "out of this world"
but it's a lot better than the poinsettia wreath I had on the door!

Looks beautiful on your door and I love the numbers on the door!
That turned out great! I love the green!
oh, I like that:) Thank you for the inspiration cause I currently have a naked twig wreath and it needs SOMETHING.
Now that we're nearing the end of Jan, I've been meaning to take down my red hollyberry wreath from our front door.
I love your wreath-very pretty! I actually picked one up at a garage sale a few months ago for $1 but haven't hung it yet, I couldn't even make it for a dollar. It looks very close to the one you made and our door is white also (for now) so it will look great!
That is the perfect January wreath ! I adore the branches with just a hint of greenery, a teaser for the spring season about to come. What a lovely and welcoming front door.

Oh, I really really love this!
How pretty and welcoming!
Love it, Miss Tidy Mom!! :) What a neat way to take your wreath from Country to Chic. :) Btw, I put an announcement up today that I'll have another Decorating Dilemmas Party in Feb. and then a "Show Me the Progress" party in March. As I've made little to no progress on my stuff, I count ANYTHING as progress (even just deciding which suggestions you liked best) ;)
I love that! You did a great job on the wreath. (applause) =-D
Wow! That's a super make-over. Great job!
I think it looks great. Good job with the makeover.
Nice makeover - fresh and simple!
It's so simple! Love it!
Great redo thanks for sharing.
Have a Blessed Week,

Love it, Cheryl! I have a naked door right now...it needs some of this wreath love!
Love it! I say a little early spring never hurt anybody!! :)
Thanks for linking up, I love seeing my new button!
NICE!! Those silver leaf things are so pretty!!
Very Springy and so pretty. Can't wait for the real flowers to start blooming.
I don't think it's too springy... it's like a bit of snow has fallen on a tree. Too cute!
It is just enough spring and the twigginess matches the way all of the trees look right now. I love the number on your door too.
On my favs list--great tutorial. I love your rusty star too thought!!! I am a sucker for stars
FYI--a fun give-a-way starts tonight at my blog.
