A New DIY Wreath for My Front Door

Yesterday, I shared with you about my wonderful weekend. On Saturday, I made a new wreath for our front door. There are so many great ideas on Pinterest... I wasn't really sure what I was going to do. I had seen how wreaths have been made using a pool noodle, so off to the Dollar Tree I went on Saturday morning. 


Those pool noodles at the Dollar Tree are the perfect size. I even bought the packing tape there. Boy, was it hard to hold the noodle in place and wrap the packing tape at the seam. I worried that the tape had to be perfect and not bumpy... but it's okay if it is.

I decided to wrap the noodle with burlap and go with a summer theme.

Next, I cut the burlap into strips. You don't have to worry about the lines being straight or perfect. This is about 11 strips.

Once I wrapped the wreath, I used hot glue to attach two starfish and an initial. Easy Peasy! The initial was from Michael's that I had painted black and stamped on with a decorative stamp. (It has hangers on the back - I had previously had it hanging on our back door to the deck.)

I love the way it turned out! What do you think?
