Spring is right around the corner and you know what that means. Yes, I am getting ready by making a wreath! Today I am going to show you my Almond Wreath for Spring.
Η Άνοιξη έφτασε και ξέρετε τι σημαίνει αυτό! Σήμερα θα σας δείξω το Στεφανι τις Αμυγδαλιάς.
Originally I was going to show you an easy wreath but I changed my mind and went for the other one. Τhe one that I actually had to work on, the one that inspired me. Because easy is not always rewarding. I’ve made these types of wreaths before for Winter, Fall and Summer so it was only fitting that I have a Spring wreath as well.
Αρχικά ήμουν έτοιμη να σας δείξω ένα εύκολο στεφάνι, αλλά άλλαξα γνώμη και θα σας δείξω κάτι που με ενέπνευσε. Επειδή εύκολο δεν είναι πάντα ικανοποιητικό. Είχα κάνει αυτά τα είδη στεφανιών για το χειμώνα, το φθινόπωρο και για το καλοκαίρι γι ‘αυτό και αρμόζει ότι έχω ένα Ανοιξιάτικο στεφάνι.
Since this is a home and Garden blog hop I thought I’d add something from mother nature. This was my inspiration.
Δεδομένου ότι αυτή η ανάρτηση ειναι για σπίτι και για κήπο σκέφτηκα να προσθέσω κάτι από τη μητέρα φύση. Αυτή ήταν η έμπνευσή μου.
As I am a very thrifty crafter, I started out with my donut shaped cardboard.
Επειδή είμαι μια πολύ λιτή δημιουργός, άρχισα με χαρτόνι σε σχήμα ντονατ.
The idea is to wrap the cardboard with different strips of fabric so it is all covered.
Η ιδέα είναι να τυλίξετε το χαρτόνι με διαφορετικές λωρίδες υφάσματος έτσι ώστε να είναι όλο καλυμμένο ομοιόμορφα.
With this particular wreath I used some of this fabric which is perfect for spring.
Για αυτό το συγκεκριμένο στεφάνι χρησιμοποίησα ύφασμα το οποίο είναι ιδανικό για την άνοιξη.
I also used this stripe pattern from an old shirt of mine. I am a big believer in reusing old clothes, so everything you see here has been repurposed.
Χ
ρησιμοποίησα αυτή την λωρίδα υφασματος από ένα παλιό πουκάμισο.
A few pieces of crocheting to give it that hand made feel.
Λίγα κομμάτια πλεξίματος δίνει χειροποίητη αίσθηση.
And an old bell that once belonged to the sheep, adds the perfect touch of patina.
Και ένα παλιό κουδούνι που κάποτε ανήκε στα πρόβατα, προσθέτει την τέλεια πατίνα.
The greenery came from my very own almond tree.
Η πρασινάδα ήρθε από την αμυγδαλιά μου.
The wreath is up on my wall and I’m all set to greet Spring in style. Vintage rustic style with a bit of nature in the form of the Almond tree to set the tone.
Το στεφάνι ειναι κρεμασμένο στον τοίχο και είμαι έτοιμη να καλωσορίσω την Άνοιξη με στ, ρουστίκ στυλ στην μορφή της αμυγδαλιάς.

Beautiful! Love the mix of textiles and how you reused materials!
Visiting from the blog hop
Cheers!
Thank you, I like that I can always use what I have around the house or farm.
I really love your wreath, Mary! Awesome! Living in Michigan, I never even knew about an almond tree.
Ha, Carol they have to come from somewhere. If I’m lucky I go and pick them before they fall to the ground.
Great spring project!
Lindsay, thank you for hopping on over!
I love how your wreath turned out — beautiful!
Thank you Lauren, we all in full Spring mode here.
Soooo pretty, Mary! You are right, the crochet pieces really add a true hand touched look. Love the mix of fabrics and real plants!
Thanks Donna, I try to repurpose as much as possible and be kind to the environment and my pocket. And it’s always fun to bring nature indoors.
Aww Mary your wreath is so fresh and happy for spring! The fabrics and crochet pieces you used are just the perfect choice and I love how you added the almond branches! I want that little sheep bell! Too cute! Now I wish I had participated this time!
Katrin thanks. It all came together the day before the post, when I had a brain storm. Sometimes we work best under pressure. I hope you do join us next time.
Good Morning Mary…are you up and at it this morning after your late night?
Of course, what would a new season be without one of Mary’s crafty and repurposed wreaths? But I have to say that I think this one is my favorite!
Your choice of fabrics, combined with the almond branch and bell, make this one particularly special. Well done friend!
Hope you can relax a bit today and thanks for all your help. You are a true gem.
Hugs, Lynn
Lynn, I relaxed like you suggested and now I’m so relaxed that I have to catch up on all these comments. Thanks for your sweet words, and we can look forward to the Summer hop!
Mary, your wreaths are always so beautiful and this one is no exception!!! I love all the elements you added to your wreath!! Repurposing clothes, crocheted work, and the sheep bell (so cool) gives this wreath a unique and gorgeous look!! You did an amazing job on this!! Very inspiring!! 🙂
Thanks Keri, you know I had another wreath all set for this post and at the last minute I decided to do this one, because I wanted a rustic feel.
I am very impressed how you mix fabrics and textures and come out with something so nice. Love the bell. It is so cool that you have your own almond tree.
Thanks Krista, it is cool but I have to go picking to get those almonds, and sometimes I forget.
I love all the fabric and materials you combined in this wreath…especially the old rusty bell..sweet touch!!!
Michelle, my husband had bought that bell home from the farm about a year ago and I looked at it kind of funny. Thank goodness I kept it around because it was the perfect touch
love you added some branches from your own tree and all the scraps! True upcycle and renewal pledge in one!
That’s what I’m all about Millie!
Hi Mary – I’m glad you went with this option! I love all of the layers and the repurposing and it’s just absolutely perfect! Visiting as a fellow contributor to #DIYMySpring. Hope your week is full of sunshine! Hugs, Holly
Holly I almost had another wreath ready, but at the last minute decided on the sheep bell. Thanks for stopping over, I’m a little late in replying cause it’s been a crazy week.
Mary, You are so creative. Your wreath tells me it is spring all over. And the inspiration tree is beautiful.
Thanks Debra, it bloomed just for this project to make me happy and give me inspiration.
Υπέροχες Ελληνικές ανθισμένες αμυγδαλιές! Και υπέροχο στεφάνι!
Σ’ευχαριστώ Αγγελική! Σου ευχομαι καλή άνοιξη.
Mary, I love how many items you repurposed for this wreath! It’s charming 🙂
Thanks Cindy, wishing you a happy spring.
Such a pretty creation, a great way to bring a bit of Spring vibrancy to the home!
Thank you so much. I always try to incorporate a bit of nature.
I LOVE this wreath!! Fabric wreaths always look so classy. Love the flowers and the different patterns with the dried leaves…beautiful!!
Thanks Michele, I always try to mix it up a bit and add a lot of texture.
I love how you repurpose old clothing and scraps of fabric Mary! I never thought to use an inexpensive piece of cardboard for a wreath form – remembering this idea.
I’m always trying to repurpose what I have on hand Marie. As for the cardboard, I’ve been using this for about 2 years now and it’s holding up remarkably well.
What a beautiful DIY wreath! Love the different fabrics! Happy Spring!
Thank you Ilka, I always have fabric scraps on hand.
Beautiful wreath Mary! Very creative and thrifty. I love the different colors and textures of fabric used and the little bell makes for a cute little flower pot.
Thank you LInda. You’re right the bell does look like a flower pot with the stems coming out of it. Thanks for the observation.
