DIY: Front Door Wreath

Happy Thursday! YAY it is almost the weekend already! I'm so happy to be almost through the week...it has been crazy at work and I'm about over it lol!
This weekend, one of the things I did was make a wreath for the front door. J's grandmother made us a really pretty wreath as a housewarming but for me, it SCREAMS Autumn. I left it up for Christmas but I think this year it will make an appearance starting August =)
You may recognize the wreath as the one that has been swirling around Pinterest....

Pinned Image

Yes this was the inspiration. Looking at it now, I'm shocked at how remarkably similar they are - I don't remember pinning it, just thinking it was super cute and would look good on our red front door...

 

The wreath didn't take long, I even got input from The Husband....it is a LOT bigger than I thought it would be BUT I love it! AND so does he, which is even better =) The part that took the longest was painting the numbers...but that was only because I had to wait for the paint to dry so I can do another coat. Otheriwse, bowdabra and a little hot glue, bada-bing - bada-boom! WREATH! =)

Do you have any kind of decorative something on your door?

Oh my gosh - I love this! Did you just buy the numbers and flowers and glue them on? Looks like that might actually be doable for me! :)
