I was inspired recently by all the Easter/ Spring Decor that came out from the Pottery Barn. I just adore their natural looking wreaths, but the Faux Trailing Dogwood Wreath {that I love so much} would have set me back almost $50.00!!!
Here is the Pottery Barn version:

So of course I set out to make my own for less than $15.00 and had supplies to make a LOT more with the supplies (see my Living Room Makeover). Here is how I made this beautiful Trailing Dogwood Wreath…
Supplies:
Natural Wreath: $3.99 at Hobby Lobby
White Flowers: $3.49 (this was 50% off)
small nest: $3.99 (this was a set of 2)
Paper Mache Eggs : about 3 dollars at Hobby Lobby
Paint (this I had on hand)
Hot Glue
Here is the beautiful wreath that I bought from Hobby Lobby!!! I just love their wreaths and the price!
First I took all the flowers off and set them on the wreath where I wanted them. Then I placed some of the leaves that came with the flowers around the flowers. Then once I got them where I wanted them I hot glued them on.
The little nest that I got had wires already on it. I just left the wires on the nest and wrapped them around the wreath setting on the inner circle on the bottom. Then I glued some paper mache eggs that I painted blue with brown dots to look like Robin’s eggs inside (with the hot glue). Then I was finished!!! This was so easy and so pretty!!!
I just love this wreath. It makes me excited about the season and all the beauty that it brings!!!
I think it looks spectacular on my door too! :)

Your wreath turned out beautifully!
Thanks so much!!! xoxo- Rachel
Great minds must think alike since we both put bird nests in our wreaths, huh?
I really like the nest you found! It’s so pretty with the flowers too…so similar to your inspiration for such a better price, plus you got the fun of making it!
Thanks so much!!! Yes great minds do!!! ;P xoxo- Rachel
Love this! It looks awesome. I can’t believe how expensive some of Pottery Barn’s stuff is! I went by the other day and they had a SINGLE bunch of faux flowers (it was a big bunch but still 1 bunch) for $60!!! Who pays that???
Thanks so much!!! Yes I think the prices are ridiculous!!!
I know that I wouldn’t pay that much! I have ppl to feed! lol
Your wreath is gorgeous! I love the bright clean look of it!
Thank you, Tonia!!! xoxo- Rachel
That is so sweet and pretty!
So pretty and of course the little bird’s nest is my fave! Thanks for stopping by and showing my Ruffled Kraft Paper wreath some love. Happy Sunday!
Yours is cuter than the PB version! Great job, Rachel!
