Please welcome the wonderfully talented Heather Via
Featuring A Fall Rake Wreath.
............................................................................
I found this idea/ inspiration on pinterest... gotta love pinterest.
I wanted to make this into a wreath since the day I saw it.
I did not have a metal rake on hand, and plastic to me wasn't going to work.
So after going to some thrift stores and searching for a rake, I broke down and
bought a brand new rake. I found it at Walmart for only $8.. so not too bad.
I then went off to the dollar store and found some pretty "fall" colors for floral.
I took the wooden handle off {with some help, it was stuck on there good} and spray
painted the rake with premier, and then gold metallic spray paint. After it dried, I laid
the floral onto the front of the rake and used floral wire to hold it in place.
Next, I took some ribbon and wrapped the end, that the
handle was in and hot glued that down.
Next I took the floral wire and wrapped it around to
make a loop for it to hang on the hook on our door.
After I added the loop to hang it, I hung it on the door it see how it looked and then
added the bow to the bottom... I didn't hot glue the bow on I just used floral wire,
that way if I wanted I could change the bow for Halloween and or Thanksgiving.
What do you think?
Thanks for taking to time to stop by and read about my wreath.
xoxo
Heather
