Inspiration O' The Month: Wreaths

"Turkey day, turkey day, 

Gobble gobble gobble.

Ate so much food I developed a wobble."

The holidays are here and it's time to get crafting. Wreaths are great inspiration starters and can really tie a room together. With so many color and texture options available the PAWSibilities are endless . . .

(i heart this idea. a farmer's market would be a great place to look for the herbs needed to make your own.)

(ok. i heart this idea even more.)

If Halloween or orange/yellow/brown aren't exactly your favorite, No worries! You can paint these lovely little winter squashes however you see fit. Every design inspiration is open to interpretation, adaptable to your creative whims. You get to choose how simple or intricate, bold or subdued a design statement you want to make in your home. Which is why DIY and Upcycling projects are great. They enable YOUR creativity to shine and lead the way in innovation. And innovation is always good. Even if what you create isn't. (i.e. you get more paint, glue and glitter on yourself than the pumpkins ;)

Have fun creating this holiday season! 

The PAWS are endless. . .

Pretty cool huh? I especially like the options available for vinyl. You can paint or decoupage them to fit whatever color scheme or style you have in your home. The PAWSibilities are quite endless really. . .
