Repurposed Wreath Ideas

Hi there! It’s me, Julie from redheadcandecorate.com and it’s great to be back this month at the Picket Fence with 6 clever, easy, and affordable repurposed wreath ideas from all over blog land. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love all wreaths, but when folks come up with clever ways to repurpose items into a beautiful “wreath”, it inspires me to want to try it, too. By the way, if you’re really into wreaths like me, I’ve created all sorts of wreaths for all the seasons on my blog, so I hope you’ll join me there, too (subscribe here).

With Spring’s arrival, I crave the outdoors so badly and usually start off my Spring decorating by clearing any leftover holiday decor (my flower boxes just defrosted!) and then sprinkling a little Spring here and there. I don’t go crazy right away because after all it could still snow here in Michigan. The most obvious and most convenient spot for that fresh decor would be my front door. When my front door is naked, I’m naked. Well, not really, but you know what I mean. I just don’t feel right. Do you get that feeling, too? If you do, maybe these DIY repurposed wreaths will inspire you to try one…

I made this Garden Hose Wreath a couple years ago and it still is one of my favorites. It took me literally minutes to make, and best of all, most of the “accessories” can be found at the dollar store. Just think of all the possibilities here with what colors you choose for the ribbon, and even the hose for that matter. I give a full tutorial on my blog.

When I first came across this Thrifty Straw Purse Door Decor by Sadie Seasongoods I immediately remember I have an old straw purse in my closet that would work perfectly for this. Such a cute and welcoming way to decorate the front door.

I’ve seen rubber boots sitting by the front door filled with flowers, but I have never thought of actually hanging them. Great idea, Debbie!

Here’s something I would have never thought of doing for a front door wreath, but how easy it would be to hang a frame, right? I bet there are many frames at your local thrift store. I may go today!

I’ve seen cupcake liner wreaths before, but this Floral Cupcake Liner Wreath by the Casual Craftlete is definitely the prettiest. She gives an excellent easy to follow tutorial, too.

When I first saw this Burlap Barbed Wire Wreath by Salvage Sister and Mister I loved the simplicity. Sometimes I over complicate things. I need to think more like Deborah.

    These are fun ideas. I think will hang the garden hose with gloves, on my door to the shed! Since I have two doors, I could make the barbed wire as the other. Thanks!!

    Such cute ideas and so simple to create. I absolutely adore the frame wreath, there are so many possibilities for how to decorate a piece like that. I love using wreathes throughout my home. It creates a warm and welcoming vibe and I think it adds a unique home decor flair, especially when placed in slightly odd places.

Happy Friday! I’m oh so thankful for beautiful s Happy Friday! I’m oh so thankful for beautiful sunshine especially when our family has been hit by illness this week. Everyone is on the upside, thankfully, and I’m hoping we’ll fell well enough to get outside and soak up some much needed natural vitamin D. After so many days of wet, gloomy weather this is like balm for my soul! 🍃 What’s the weather like where you are?

In other news, the hot cocoa station is finally gone and in it's place is a fresh new look that was kicked off by finding a beautiful, rustic vase at @homegoods. It feels like my home is rising up to welcome Spring and I'm so ready for sunshine and longer days. 🍃

Don’t forget to check out my stories tonight for Friday funnies! I love hearing from so many of you who say it’s your favorite way to wrap up your week. ☺️

Happy weekend to you dear friends!

What a gift it was to wake up on the first day of What a gift it was to wake up on the first day of March and see glorious sunshine greeting us after a few days of ice and snow. This is the month of hope and expectation and I’m here for it.

Happy March first dear friends! 🍃
Our first ‘laundry room’ wasn’t actually a r Our first ‘laundry room’ wasn’t actually a room at all. The 20+ year old washer and dryer we inherited after we got married was hooked up in the garage of our small townhouse. Our second ‘laundry room’ was an improvement because it was actually INSIDE the house but it was in our family room behind bifold doors.

So when we moved into this home 15 years ago I literally jumped up and down when I saw this real laundry room. Never mind that it had dated counters and an old stained sink. It was an actual room!

We made minor updates to it over the years but other, more visible, spaces took priority so we spent our resources on beautifying those.

But, last summer, we finally had new counters installed and made a few more updates that have completely transformed this room. 

Now, it’s almost a joy to do the laundry…almost! 😉

For more photos and details head on over to my website using the link in my bio.

I trust in you; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.

No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame, but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause.

Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths.

Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

Remember, LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old.”

Ronald Reagan famously said that “all great chan Ronald Reagan famously said that “all great change in America begins at the dinner table.” I think this is true for everyone worldwide. You simply can’t put a value on the importance of gathering together for a meal with those you love. But, sometimes, we can struggle with getting the conversations flowing. So for this #tiptuesday, I’m sharing some tools we’ve used in our home. 🍃
There is just something about the combination of l There is just something about the combination of lemon and honey. It’s rustic yet fancy, sweet yet tart, spring-like yet comforting on a cold winters day. 

And that’s why this is hands down one of my favorite recipes! I decided to take a basic tea cake and turn it into a loaf of sweet, tart, simple yet fancy goodness and the only thing bad about it was how quickly it disappeared!

“Have regular hours for work and play; make each “Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well.” (Louisa May Alcott).

The sun is shining and it’s the perfect day to photograph our laundry room which got a bit of a makeover. This space is definitely useful as it bears the brunt of everyone tromping through it all day long but I think I’ve managed to make it pleasant as well. One of my greatest realizations in my homemaking journey was when I recognized that those two things weren’t mutually exclusive. In fact, it’s the pleasant that enhances the useful and vice versa.

I’ll have the rest of the makeover reveal on my website soon but I just couldn’t resist sharing a sneak peek with you today! 🌿

I’m so thankful for my cozy home and my loves who live here with me and I can’t wait to spoil them a bit tonight. We don’t go crazy on Valentine’s Day but I try to still make it sweet even if it’s simple. 💕
