Woodland Wreath

Can you believe?
...
We are almost into December!!!

This is probably the funnest decorating time for me.  The layers of greenery,

silver and gold, lots of bling.,..

I love it.

I decided to start decorating outside first.

 I have been collecting items for this project over

 the last month or so.

I picked up this ribbon early, and I am so glad I did,
the burlap ribbon has sold out!!

 I thought I would share how
I layer a wreath.

I like to re-use the base
 for my wreaths.  This has been used for
my Christmas wreaths for over 12 years.
I have a different one for each season
that I  keep re-using.

Under this greenery is just a basic grape vine wreath.

I kept the greenery on from last Christmas...I was planning 

on flocking it, but I wasn't ready for the mess this year.

Maybe next year...

After I was happy with the way the branches were lying

I applied a coat of glitter/glue almost everywhere,

along the branches and pine cones.

Then came the snowflake wire ribbon 

and the mercury ornaments.

After wrapping the ribbons around and around,

I stabilized them with a large bow.

Tucking it into branches and pine cones.

I bought this snowflake ornament at Micheal's as well.

The  snowflake was rusty brown, so I chalk painted

it with lighter grey then darker grey on top.  Once dry, I

sanded it gently and sealed it with

glittery topcoat.

It is soooo cold outside this weekend...but
once it warms up a little, and my camera doesn't
fog up...I will get some pictures from farther away.

Hope you enjoyed my version of a 

Woodland Christmas Wreath.

Happy Decorating!
