DIY Green Pear Wreath



With the transition from winter to spring, I needed some GREEN in my life. 
SO I dressed up our newly painted BLACK door.

I used things I had laying around the house and got to work! SO EASY! 

Materials:
Floral wreath 
Green stems  (I picked up mine at Target at the end of last summer for $0.99 a bushel)
 pears (real or fake)
hot glue gun
ivory ribbon

1.
To begin, individually pull apart your green leafs from the stems. I used about 4 bushels. 
2.
You will then individually glue stems around your wreath until full. 
3. 
Garnish with your pears. I simply hot glued these onto my wreath
4. 
Add a bow
5. 
Hang from a door, window, mirror with ribbon. 


That's it!

Happy Crafting!

I'm joining in on these parties!
