I love hydrangeas! And for some reason I have had them on the brain. So I decided I wanted to do a quick wreath with some this weekend. Here is what I came up with – the rest of the post is how I got there!
Full lush faux hydrangea stems are normally pretty pricy. Never fear – I just picked up a couple cheap less fluffy stems at the dollar store and cut them apart with some wire trimmers.
Next I took a couple of them and bunched them together to get that big full look that I love. Isn’t that a better?!?
Then I added in a little bit of the greenery to give it some more texture and covered a cardboard initial with a little moss! I love the way it came out!
It makes me smile! Ah – what I wouldn’t give for a big ole bush of these outside my door!
One more and then I will stop I promise!
So what about you – is there a flower you would just love to have at your house? Or perhaps you are lucky and you already have that flower in your garden? I wanna know!

ReplyDeleteI adore hydrangeas. For whatever reason though I can NOT keep them alive. :( So I gave up on the hydrangea shrub and went with the hydrangea tree. LOVE it!! Low maintenance and beautiful blooms in the spring. :) I love your wreath!
