I love having a wreath on my front door.
To me, it is inviting and homey.
Once we paint our front door, or buy a new one, it will be even lovelier!
I have a couple grapevine wreaths that I purchased years ago at Michael's with a 40% off coupon.
I use them throughout the year and change their look for various holidays.
For Spring, I knew I wanted a ruffled look, but that was all.
Once I made the ruffle, I hemmed and hawed over some buttons, ribbon, and tulle.
Nothing struck my fancy, except for polka dots.
So, I went to the authority on all things crafty and holiday related: Pinterest.
She did not let me down.
Here are my favorite finds from Pinterest.

I avoided any wreaths wrapped in yarn . . . the thought of wrapping an entire wreath in yarn seems way too tedious to me.
I avoided any involving plastic eggs . . . not my style.
Even putting the bunny on mine was pushing it. But, it is a silhouette, and I think silhouettes are classy, so it's all good.
I avoided Pepto Bismal pink. Tulips, however, are exempt from that rule because they are beautiful.
I also avoided all the monogram ones. I like monograms, but I wanted my wreath to be more specific to spring.
I used what I had on hand and did minimal sewing/hot glueing.
I sewed the ruffle and hot-glued it on.
I cut some fabric and tied it in a bow.
I printed out a silhouette of a bunny and taped it on.
The best part of this wreath is that I can change it to work for any season or holiday!
Win!
I'm still not sure if I am done with it. For now, though, it is a nice addition to our front porch!
