Hello! Thanksgiving is coming and some preparations needs to be done! It’s always a pleasure to see family and friends and think about all the things one should be grateful and thankful for. Here in Finland we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving as such but it’s still lovely to invite family over for a dinner and spend time together. What sets the mood is always the way they are invited but also a handmade wreath on the door gives a nice welcoming. Here’s a simple, upcycled wreath done with Canvas Corp canvas products and also the homey, food inspired “Farmhouse Kitchen” line.
The base of the creation is actually a line of springs from a top mattress. I just twisted the line into a circle and attached the ends to each other. Then I corded a twine through the spring, going round the wreath. Lastly I added a few decorative pieces using Canvas Corp canvas shapes and a burlap flower and finished the wreath with a jar cut from a tag from the “Farmhouse Kitchen” line and a few paper pieces.
So, this is my version of a welcoming wreath. Something harsh and hard against the cosy and soft. What kind of welcome you have on your door? Please share as we’d love to see! Thank you for stopping by today!
