Here's my Patriotic Wreath!
For the most part, I'm pleased with how it turned out. I probably could have sprayed a little more paint on it for better coverage but I'm impatient and didn't want to wait. In other words, I procrastinated and made it at the last minute. ;-)
I found the idea for the light wash of color on the 'palette' from Pinterest too. Adding silver glitter to the white letters gives it a sparkle! They were rather dull and flat looking otherwise.
Our front door is teal colored and it looked ridiculous hanging up there, so I decided to hang it on one of my repurposed shutters and sit it out on our deck. We spend a lot of time out there and it's perfect for this USAF family living near an AF base.
I think this wreath is versatile for any of our holidays that celebrate America and our Military.
I'm going on a short blogging break (as mentioned in my previous post) so I can spend time with our very own Airman who is coming for a visit, along with his brother.
See y'all in a couple of weeks!
May the Lord bless you!!!

Look at you...Lovely wreath, Anne.
ReplyDeleteI see in the back ground the beach and water. Is that really what you see from your home?
Oh the quiet time and beauty you must experience every day.
I see you have taken a couple of breaks, good for you, and wornwith your sons, wonderful.
Much love to you
I came by to visit with you and would have sworn that I had left a comment on this post quite some time ago??? I'm sure it was an error on my part. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so wonderful at crafting, Anne. This was wonderful, and so patriotic yet not over done.
I trust that your 4th was blessed~~
Great job on the wreath. It looks professionally done.
