fresh greenery Archives - Farmhouse Chic Blog

Happy, happy Friday!! I am THRILLED it’s the weekend! Tomorrow early morning, my hubby and I are headed to Chicago for the weekend! It’s our first time ever, and I am so stinkin’ excited 🙂

This week’s fab pins are inspired by my love of greenery during the Winter season ♥ ♥

1. I love this simple, natural tablescape! Whites, fresh greenery and candle light, does it get much better? The only thing I might add would be a little sparkle, whether it be with mercury glass votives or glittery pinecones! I love the little deer figurines to add depth to the scene!
2. Incorporate natural elements into your gift wrapping! I love the idea of putting a piece of greenery with ribbon and kraft paper or even embellishing with a glittery pinecone! This is an idea that I might bring to life in our gift wrapping next year! We will just have to wait and see 😉
3. The decor for this front porch is so simple, but so gorgeous! Gorgeous swayed garland surrounding the door creates such an inviting entry! I love the live wreath with ribbon and jingle bells! Absolute classic beauty we have here!
4. I love the idea of “framing” a specific picture or piece of art with live greenery! Add simple embellishments for more flare, by adding dangling ornaments or little bows. This is such a simple, yet outstanding idea!

Do you love the smell of balsam during the Holidays? Have extra tree trimmings? If you said yes to one or both of these questions, here’s the perfect craft for you! With extra tree trimmings I created a beautiful wreath for my front door!

Here’s what you’re going to need:

18” wire wreath form
greenery
glue gun, glue
ribbon for embellishment

Start with larger pieces of greenery and begin gluing them to the outside of the wire form and holding in place until dry. Now move onto the second inner wire and follow the same process, including the very inner wire. Once your piece if covered, begin going through and filling any parts that seem bare, by simply gluing the bottom and pushing into place. I couldn’t believe how “lively” this wreath became so quickly!

As mentioned is one of my previous posts, I had tons of pine cones, so I wanted to add some to my wreath! I used craft glue on the very tips and sprinkled with silver glitter, let dry. I added 4 total. To add some color, I tied a bow with some pretty, sparkly red ribbon I had and twirled the ends. I also sprayed the wreath with a extra hold hairspray and sprinkled silver glitter throughout.

Here’s three different ways to enjoy your beautiful, fresh wreath! Add some burlap ribbon to hang over a door and keep it simple… or incorporate red to stand out by adding a bow… or keep the natural theme going by adding the pine cones for an outdoorsy feel!

Whatever style you decide on, I’m sure you will enjoy all the beauty this wreath has to offer!
