our seasonal wreath decorated for LOVE!
Christmas is a distant memory, and the once glorious wreath, hung this year above the piano in the living room, was until recently piled under six inches of snow in our front walkway.
Christmas wreath buried in Chicago-style snow drift
My goal for today was turn this forlorn relic from Christmas past into a Valentine’s Day-themed wall art. This took digging, wire clipping, de-twigging, defrosting, fluffing, relighting, rehanging, and finally decorating before I could say “Mission Accomplished”
Step 1: Digging
Step 2: Wire Clipping
Step 3: De-twigging
The remnants of Christmas; artificial berries, pine cone, twinkle lights and gold ribbon
These will be stored in the crawl space for next year
Ready for defrost
Step 4: Defrost inside, then fluff
Step 5: String with twinkle lights – easiest on the floor
Valentine’s Day wall is complete!
