Petite Spring Wreath

Petite Spring Wreath from JoJo and Eloise

Hello Picket Fencers!!! This is Angelina from JoJo and Eloise and I am so excited to be back here visiting with you again.

Spring! Spring!  It’s finally here and I couldn’t be happier!

Seriously, this has to the most beautiful time of year. The temperatures are just right, flowers are beginning to bloom, the birds are Sweetly Chirping and the colors couldn’t be anymore prettier.

This Adorable Petite Spring Wreath, I think encompasses all those things I just mentioned above. It is so precious and perfectly sweet in every way. 

I don’t know about you but it looks like, that Sweet Little Gingham bird built her nest right onto the wreath itself. I know if I was a little Bird my nest would look a lot like this one {Wink*} and how cute would it be, if we could look out of our windows and see these Adorable little Gingham birds flying all around! Or would that be a little weird?

Probably, huh!

Well enough of living in the world of Willy Wonka!

How about we get started on this Petite Spring Wreath Tutorial. All of my supplies for this project were purchased from Joann’s (Gingham Bird and all ) in the floral section.

I purchased 2 different types of Floral Stem Wire. I began by taking 2 stems of my cloth wire and twisted it together on both ends forming a circular shape.

I then took my paper covered stem wire and began twisting it around my already made circle. Once that was done I took another cloth stem wire and repeated the process again for a layered effect.

I wanted my wreath to have a nice soft look to it, so I lightly brushed a soft pale pink paint onto my wreath, leaving some of the wire still exposed for a worn and weathered look.

After you’re done painting your wreath you are going to set it aside to dry.

(Yeah, RIGHT?? If your anything like me, you NEVER wait for the paint to dry. I am inpatient like that. I have been known for hanging pictures on the wall even before the paint has fully dried, YIKES!!! ). So this would be the perfect time to say, “Do as I say and not as I Do”.)

Now comes the fun part!!

I took some of my flowers apart and began layering them onto my wreath. You can use a separate piece of stem wire and wrap it around your wreath and flowers to secure them to your wreath, you can also hot glue them to your or tuck them into the already existing wire. I did a little bit of all three. Have fun playing with the layers because there really is no Right or Wrong to whatever look or style you are wanting to achieve.

After you’re all done go ahead and Hang it on a door, display it somewhere in your house or give it away as a House Warming or Bridal Gift. (Just be sure the paint is fully dried)

And how adorably cute would it be to wear as a Head Wreath! Super Cute, Right??

This would make a great accessory to a little flower girls wedding attire.

      Hi, Marilyn
      I bought all my supplies at Joann’s Craft store in their floral section. The bird is attached with a bit of my Floral Wire and a dab of hot glue to hold it in place. I hope this helps. 🙂 Have a LOVELY Spring!

    GORGEOUS! I LOVE the idea of a petite wreath for a door…. When I was in high school, we used to do these mums for football season….ridiculously over-the-top flowers with all kinds of ribbons and charms hanging from them to represent one of the players…..and I was just thinking how much fun it would be to do something like this instead! A sweet headpiece!!! Love it girls.

I just went to make my mid-morning protein shake a I just went to make my mid-morning protein shake and grabbed a banana out of the freezer and was about to put it into my shake before I realized it was a frozen egg roll. Sooooo that's how my day is going so far! 🤪How about you?

It's honestly fairly representative of my state of mind these days as I can't seem to make the date on the calendar match the date in my spirit because it feels like it should be January 45th. Every year this month drags on and every year it seems to surprise me for some reason. In addition, my heart just feels heavy as I witness a lot of darkness and sadness around me. So, I'm choosing to control what I can control by making my house feel as cozy as possible, relishing the sunshine whenever it dares to peek through the clouds, gathering inspiration for warmer weather projects and, most importantly, resting in the comfort of the sovereignty of my Father.

“God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding. He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’ So that everyone he has made may know his work..." Job 37:5-7
What if you could do something at the beginning of What if you could do something at the beginning of your day that would be a gift to yourself later on? That’s what we’re talking about on this week’s Tip Tuesday! #tiptuesday
The sun decided to make another appearance today! The sun decided to make another appearance today! It’s been such a lovely Sunday. Chocolate croissants for breakfast followed by church then naps/football/reading/etc and soon we’ll be heading out to dinner with friends. These are my favorite kind of weekends. Hope yours has been lovely too! 🌿
Yesterday was stormy and cold but today the sunshi Yesterday was stormy and cold but today the sunshine is breaking through the fog and my house just seems happier. We definitely needed to see that light streaming in through the windows and it’s a gift I don’t take for granted.

And yes, there are still twinkle lights on my mantle because those help when the sunshine goes away again. ✨
Happy weekend! The rainy and gloomy weather here i Happy weekend! The rainy and gloomy weather here in the Willamette Valley has me feeling less frustrated about my migraine forcing me to just snuggle up indoors and these flowers in my kitchen are lifting my spirits. What are you up to on this holiday weekend?
It’s time for TIP TUESDAY! This week, I’m offe It’s time for TIP TUESDAY! This week, I’m offering a gentle reminder from my own parenting experience after feeling my heart pricked with conviction about what was waiting for my daughter every day after school. I hope it will encourage you! 🌿#tiptuesday
The day after Christmas I found myself laundering The day after Christmas I found myself laundering and folding all of the linens we used the previous night as we hosted my husband's side of the family for dinner and other festivities. As I laid out each cloth napkin and folded them one by one, I couldn't help but be struck by what a simple, yet meaningful, task it was. It's such an honor and privilege to be the hostess and, at this stage of my life, I realize that this has almost one hundred percent become my role now. Our parents are in their 70's and have either downsized significantly or simply don't have the energy to take on hosting duties for a large group. I could resent this. I could feel overwhelmed by it. But, instead, I'm choosing to embrace it knowing that, someday, I too will pass the hosting torch and I hope that I will be welcomed with love and attentiveness. So, I fold the linen napkins, taking pleasure in the way all of the creases line up and how neat and tidy they look in the drawer of my dining room buffet. These seemingly simple chores are part of the lifeblood of homemaking and my attitude towards them can either be one of gratefulness or grumbly-ness (yes, I'm making up words now). 

And I’m choosing gratefulness. 

“This job has been given to me to do. Therefore, it is a gift. Therefore, it is a privilege. Therefore, it is an offering I may make to God. Therefore, it is to be done gladly, if it is done for Him. Here, not somewhere else, I may learn God’s way. In this job, not in some other, God looks for faithfulness.” (Elisabeth Elliot⁣)

“He has made everything beautiful in its time. H “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.”

Oh how I love this week each year! It’s my favor Oh how I love this week each year! It’s my favorite for sure. Everything is still festive and decorated but there’s none of the stress of the cooking and wrapping and making preparations. It’s the week where we get to take everything slowly and simply enjoy being together while the house still has twinkling lights and we can just be cozy.

What about you? How will you be spending this week? ✨
