Winter wreath

January 6, 2009 by Chris

Anyone else see inexpensive faux wreaths all over stores and wonder what to do with them? Just me? K, thanks. I knew I could do something creative with them, so I added some paint to make one that could last throughout the winter.

My house sits farther away from the road, so I like to go with “impact wreaths” (made that term up), so you can see them better as you’re driving by.

How to Make a Winter Wreath

Supplies:

  • Faux wreath 
  • White spray paint
  • Ceiling texture paint
  • Holiday pics of your choosing

I don’t really recommend doing this in the dead of winter. I mean, that’s what I’ve been told anyway. When you live in Michigan, however, ya do what ya gotta do.

make a winter wreath with spray paint

Add some pics of your liking, and it’s pretty much done! Now you just have to figure out a way to hang it. The fun part of a wreath like this is you can change the ribbon/bow out all the time. Fun!
It turned out perfectly and the only cost to me was the ceiling texture spray. Everything else I had lying around the house. I don’t know if that’s normal…

    Oooooo! I love it! Would you hang it up in sunny California? Would the neighbors think I was nuts if I hung it up in sunny California? I might have to take my chances….

  15. Christi says

    January 6, 2009 at 5:38 am

    Oh my gosh…that s the cutest! If I had time tomorrow, I would add it to my “to do” list…but no such luck…maybe soon though! Thanks for the great idea!! 🙂

    How do you survive -2???? I would be a solid block of ice! I’d never leave for work! Your wreaths are both pretty!

    January 6, 2009 at 6:05 am

    I love your wreath I am going to copy if I can still find a wreath to use. I don’t want to use ones I use for christmas since they all match and I may not get lucky enough to find a match again. We are getting ready to have an open house and was wondering what to do with my door after I take the christmas wreath down and this is it. Thanks so much for your great ideas.

    Not bad at all my friend!!! Love the all white look. Happy New Year and stay warm!!

    January 6, 2009 at 8:51 am

    Love it! So simple to do from the looks of it….my problem is we never have winter down here in Middle Georgia…right now the temps have been in the lower 70’s not what I say winter is suppose to be but rather be that than -2 like you.

    So tell me got any ideas for a wreath for Valentines that I could do for ummm warm weather?

  28. Jessica says

    January 6, 2009 at 2:12 pm

    I love this idea!! What color did you use to paint it? At first I thought you used silver paint…but then I thought it may be white.

  29. Marie says

    January 6, 2009 at 2:52 pm

    Gorgeous wreath!!! I love that “snowy” look on so many things but I think it would look silly on my door… everything else is green (or brown) and we are practically in shorts. lol

    January 6, 2009 at 2:52 pm

    Oh, so pretty. I wish you had posted this last Friday…it is 28 here today (a heat wave for you) and I have a wreath that needs a facelift. Saturday was over 70 – Missouri is like that summer weather one day and three feet of snow the next – it keeps this California girl on her toes! I am a daisy freak so I love that one as well. I have bookmarked this inspiration – now what did that weather guy say?

    Very nice. When I look at it, it reminds me of winter. All full of snow. I’m sure they can see this one from the road. Great Job!!

    January 6, 2009 at 4:03 pm

    I love that its monochromatic. And I love your front entrance area. I really want to paint my front door black, but I will have to wait until we have warmer weather.

  38. Brenda says

    January 6, 2009 at 4:29 pm

    Fabulous! I was just thinking how sad my front door looks now that I’ve taken down the Christmas wreath!

    Icy. Cool. Gorgeous. So, glad you said that it wasn’t a good idea to paint in the basement. I had planned on using my laundry room…since it’s frigid here and going outside isn’t something that one voluntarliy does.

  47. Barnes Yard says

    January 6, 2009 at 7:28 pm

    Love it, love it…as with all of your ideas!

  48. Prissy Southern Prep says

    Hi! I’m Elizabeth over at Grand Occasions. I’m new to the blogging world and am enjoying it immensely. I love your wreaths, especially the white one. What a great idea. My front door is currently white, but hopefully will be black by the end of the weekend. I’ll definately be using your white spray paint idea next Christmas. Please, stop by and visit me sometime.

    OK Chris. I had to tell you that I finally got the chance to make this! I loved your idea so much… I waited and waited until the Christmas decor was down to whip this puppy up.

    Put a link back to your project too of course. Hope Disneyland was fun!
