I started with this grapevine wreath that was found on the shelves of a thrift store. It was the perfect base for DIYing my magnolia wreath. I see these wreaths at thrift stores fairly frequently, and so look out for one the next time you lot are out thrifting.

I picked up two bunches of artificial magnolia leaves from the arts and crafts store. I majorly scored because they were fifty% off when I was there, making information technology $fourteen total for ii bunches. That plus the $2 austerity store wreath makes this project come in at just $16! I love a practiced thrift store makeover, and this magnolia wreath definitely fits this bill! Plus, it'southward super quick to create and can be completely done in under 30 minutes.

Using a wire cutter, I snipped leaves off of the big bundle. There were three leaves on one stem, so I left them in stems of threes. In one case I had the leaves cutting, it was just a affair of tucking them into the grapevine wreath base. I worked my fashion around the wreath, layering manolia leaves on top of each other as I went.

I ended upward using the full two bunches to create a full looking wreath. The leaf stems were long enough to tuck into the wreath base of operations well enough to keep them secure, which was awesome because I didn't demand to fuss over using floral wire or anything like that. All I did was tuck them in well and I was set!

Once the leaves were all in identify, I looped burlap ribbon through the wreath and tied it on the acme of an sometime thrifted window frame I've been wanting to hang up forever.

The window frame was originally painted a solid black, which seemed too harsh on my light grey walls. So I took a cue from Fixer Upper and gave it a whitewashed look by dry brushing a generous coat of lite grey paint over height.

I am in love with the contrast of the rustic window with the bright greenish magnolia leaves. This wreath turned out and then pretty that I just know I'll be moving information technology all over our house over time. My favorite decorations always get moved a lot!
