Whitewashed Christmas Wreath



I told you I had some Christmas posts to catch up on at the last minute!

I wanted to create a whitewashed, rustic Christmas wreath. I had a few extra pinecones that I had gathered outside around my house, so I decided to add those to the bottom. I mixed some white paint with water and brushed it over the wreath and pine cones. I had just enough burlap left in my fabric bin to make a bow wreath hanger.

I started with this twiggy wreath - a $1 thrift store find.


For the finishing touch, I stenciled letters on vintage sheet music and attached them to the wreath with mini clothespins and hemp twine.

My front door finally has a wreath this Christmas!  It is better late than never.


I have one more Christmas decorating project for tomorrow, so stop back by!
