before & after: summer wreaths...

A few months ago, a high school near my house was hosting a large garage sale to raise money for their football team.  I decided to check it out and ended up buying these two twig wreaths for $2 a piece.

This past weekend, I used them to make two wreaths to stick on our front door this summer.  After a quick trip to Michael's to pick up some flower stems and some floral wire, I was ready to go.  

The flower stems were about $2 a stem.  Since the wreaths were going outside, I wanted to make sure the flowers wouldn't fall off from the wind or from opening and closing the doors so I used the floral wire to secure them onto the twigs in the wreath.

 Here they are on the front door...
