One Wreath 12 Ways March

One Wreath 12 Ways March

I using this same grapevine wreath and redoing it each month.

Did you expect March to be green?

I think there’s a touch of Irish in our family on my dad’s side.  But I’ve never done a green shamrock wreath.

This is what I ended up with for March.  A dried hydrangea and burlap design.

I didn’t start out with this exact design in my head.

But when I laid the burlap strip across the wreath to cut it into pieces.

I liked the burlap laying across the wreath from one end to the other.

So I changed my mind.

I do that often!

More burlap strips were needed.

So I ran upstairs to the craft area…no extra burlap.

I rummaged through the laundry room…no burlap.  Hey, you wouldn’t believe what I find in the laundry!

Hummm!  Out in the rain to the workshop…no burlap.

Then I remembered cutting pieces of wired burlap ribbon to tie up napkins for an autumn dinner.

Running back into the house, dripping wet!  I found burlap ribbon in the dining hutch right next to the table where I was making the wreath.

Whew!

I folded the pieces of burlap and twisted floral wire on the ends.  Then tucked the wires into the vine.

Tucking in a couple of dried hydrangea bunches…

and I’m ready for March.

Now for some green beer!
