Happy Winter Wreath

Just before Christmas I decided to makeover an old wreath for my back door.  I wanted something that would make me happy every time I came in the door so I knew I wanted something bright.  I went shopping around the house for supplies.  First I found an extra wreath in the attic. Oh my gosh....I'm lucky I found anything there.  This is part of my attic. It is the Holiday area and it is a mess.  Wonder Hubby started building shelving in this a couple of years ago but I need much, much more.  Instead of playing and blogging....I should be working on this but alas....it is just too cool for that today, whew!

I also found this little sled in my some painted some not stuff and decided I could make it over since I didn't want anything holiday specific.

Then I shopped some more and found foam snowflakes that I was pretty sure I could work with.  Okay now I had some stuff but it needed something, hmmm.  After a quick trip to Dollar General and 2 dollars later I had these cute little Christmas balls.

I  remember all the multi surface paint I had from the Trivet project I showed you here.

Love this paint!  It has good coverage on glass and other slick surfaces which is sometimes hard to get.  Then I had some really messy fun and painted all the balls with circles and then covered those with glitter....love me some glitter girls!  Glitter makes me smile so I love some glittery stuff! 

After I finished the painting the balls I did a little paint makeover on the sled then I assembled all my goodies and gave my wreath a trial run.  Good but just kinda blah.  Then I had one of those ah ha moments when you hear singing.  I remembered I had just a smidge of deco mesh left from my Gingerbread tree.   I wired on the deco mesh, then the sled and then clustered the balls on the foam snowflakes.  This is what I ended up with.

 I just love how it turned out.  It is so bright and cheery....very nice to see on a dreary day.  I am linking to:
