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.

Mary I’ve featured your pretty wreath at Five Star Frou-Frou this week. Thanks for linking up! Mimi xxx
Thank you so much Mimi. It is always a pleasure to be featured at your pary!
Mary, I love the thriftiness of this pretty project!!! Love that you used cardboard for the wreath shape! Great feature from Five Star Frou Frou! 🙂
Thank you Jes, I guess you could say thrifty is my middle name. I love to use cardboard on many projects.
Mary, Your wreath is so pretty. Love the fabrics your used and the lace.
Hugs,
Bev
Thank you so much Beverly, it is one of my favorites.
Mary – I love the unusual look of this wreath! The complementary fabrics and layering of details makes it quite attractive!
Thank you Mimi. This one came out of sheer inspiration and a desire to use that cow bell!
Like you Mary I refuse to purchase a wreath ring, instead I use a double layer of cardboard and then cover it. It works really well.
We are still covered in snow here and there won’t be any blossoms for until at least late April. Where I use to live they had chestnut and walnut trees, but I have never seen an almond tree. Lovely to have one of your own the white blossoms are so nice.
The farm is full of white blossoms Leanna. And when it is windy they spill onto the ground and look so pretty. Hoping you get some warmth and spring vibes soon.
I thought maybe I would make one of these for myself when I saw that you used a cardboard cutout, but then I saw the sheeps’ bell & was totally sold!
I came to visit from the AIM link party; I hope you’ll find time one day to stop by the 4Shoes & let me know you’ve stopped by. 🙂
Thank you for dropping by Mrs. Shoes. I just popped in to visit your blog as well. I am a firm believer in frugality and we should make what we can with what we have around us.
Really love the idea of using scraps of an old shirt. You have also inspired me to think up how to use an old crochet tablecloth. It is stained but was made by my husbands grandmother and I think this might be a better idea then have it sit in a closet
Nothing should sit in a closet if we can find another purpose for it. I am going through all my closets and cabinets and come up with ideas for otherwise useless things. Thanks Melissa.
Beautiful wreath. It looks just like spring! I especially love the touch of crocheted lace. How did you attach the almond flowers? With a glue gun?
Rebecca, believe it or not I don’t use anything when attaching the branches. What I do is to tuck the ends into the folds of the fabric. Because the fabric is wrapped around the wreath in strips you can instert the branches on their end. And then after I add the big branches I then intertwine smaller ones in between.
Love the wreath Mary! I don’t remember seeing this before. I really like the pink striped shirt fabric, the cowbell, and the colors in general of your wreath. Also love the bits of crochet. Definitely Spring looking!
Thans Florence. I made this one last year and I love it so much. One of my top favorites. It was the first time I had used live branches into my wreaths and I really liked the look, along with everything else (but the kitchen sink!)
How cute! I never really think of have wreaths up outside of winter, it looks lovely!
Wreaths are for all year long. I just change the embellishments on the donut shape and I’ve got a new wreath.
IO can’t believe you made that from a ring of Cardboard Mary – it is beautiful. Perfect for Spring
Amber pretty things can be made from almost anything we have at home.
This is so very beautiful, Mary! I absolutely love the look. Pinned!
Thank you Angie, it tried not to throw the kitchen sink in there as well. 😉
Beautiful wreath Mary! Love the different colors of fabric, and textures. Love the additional touch of adding the little bell. Perfect wreath for spring!
This is a great way to use up some of my extra stash. Great looking wreath. Found you on Blogger’s Pit Stop Link Party.
Thanks so much Candy. It was the everything but the kitchen sink wreath. haha!!
I love your spring wreath and how you made it, I was thinking if I wanted to make it I would have to go shopping, not a bad thing but its much nicer when you can use things you already have on hand. Thank you so much for sharing on #omhgff this week! Happy Spring!
That’s what I’m all about Karren not adding to the waste and reusing things we already have.
Beautiful wreath! Love the different textures of fabric, and the fresh greenery. The sheep bell was a nice addition to your wreath. 💖
I had to use that somewhere it was staring at me all the time. Haha!!
I love this wreath! Its so different than the one’s that you see on other DIY post. The fabric is an awesome touch!
Sarah, I am always trying to come up with ways to use up my fabric scraps. I saved them because they mean something to me so its only natural I would want to reuse them. Thank you, you are so sweet!
I love the fabrics you chose and the bell is perfect for this wreath. Gorgeous and perfect for spring! Thank you for sharing at Celebrate It!
Thank you so much. It certainly does smell of spring around here.
I love your wreath! Lovely, and so very frugal, even the base! You are so resourceful.
Thanks so much Jeanne
This wreath is gorgeous, Mary! I love all of the different textures, and the patterns/colors coordinate perfectly. I can’t believe this is all recycled material. Love it!
It is I am all about finding things in my home and avoiding the shops. Haha!!
