DIY Wreath

I have been wanting an old window for awhile, so when I finally found one (in my price range), it looked kinda blah.

How come wreaths are so expensive? All of the ones I liked, or thought they would work, wanted me to take out a loan. 
I don't think so!
So, it was off to Hobby Lobby...
Of course, I liked the more expensive greenery, but whatever! :)

Poke, poke, poke...literally how I put it together. Took about a whole 3 mins!
I got a roll of this string for $0.89 back a few months ago. 
Me likee!!!

Wow! I love it. I would love to have one--but not a blank wall in the house!

Me likey, too! Why are wreaths always so high?! I can never bring myself to pay the price of one that's already made - always end up making them myself. Yours is super cute, and is just the thing for that great window!

Love the window and the wreath! I'm going to be making a wreath like that soon... I'm excited to get my room finished up! I also have an old window I want to use... How did you hang yours? Mine may be a lot heavier as it still has glass...

I've been on the search for an old window as well. Silly aren't we? They have so much character though. I love the wreath with it, looks super-great! ;)
