We Wreath You a Merry Christmas - Part 3 - Snowball Fight!

How could I NOT make a snowball wreath?

I went with a snow theme with the mantel and our outdoor decor this year {we typically don't get much in the way of real snow in these parts} and I am in love with the snowball wreaths I saw while snooping around pinterest.  Kristi from Addicted 2 Decorating has a great tutorial HERE {I can't take my eyes off of her chevron fabric}.

Like many of my projects, this turned out to be pretty time consuming {I'm not really sure why I ever expect it to be anything but}, but completely worth it!


Definitely love the way this flows with my snowflake wonderland outside so I swapped out my beaded masterpiece for this one on the front entry.




I had planned on embellishing it with "Let it Snow" written in red wire, but as I was hanging it on the door the flower arrangement on our entry table caught my eye.  Just for giggles I stuck a few flowers in there and LOVED it, but I needed something else...

Snatched a mini snowman ornament off of the tree {from out of this year's advent calendar HERE}, glued a toothpick to the back and pinned her in.

Perfection.

I will be sharing one more wreath this week, our super simple stockings and show off our finished mantel {I am looking forward to January when I can get back to your everyday crafting!}.
