...how to.....

...makeover a boring old wreath!


step 1.

take a boring, tired old wreath that has hung on your front door every christmas for the past 7 years..
(and is looking a bit sorry for itself)


step 2.

make sure you only have about 5 minutes to spare so you are really under pressure
to get this project finished quickly....


step 3.

..buy a mixed bag of lovely retro decorations off ebay for tuppence ha'penny...


(LOVE these crusty snowmen!)


step 4.

...gather some bits of ribbon...
...badges and buttons...
(whatever takes your fancy)

...oh and some glue....!


step 5

....quickly throw it together...




TA DAAAA!!!

....much better!(i think?!?)
(apologies for total lack of crafty integrity)
