The Hofreiters

My door is dressed for summer

I have seen so many cute wreaths on Pinterest that I couldn't wait to try it out. Wednesday after work I went to Michael's to get some supplies and I made a patriotic wreath for summer time.


1. I bought a foam wreath form and 12 bunches of red, white, and blue carnations(?). 


2. The I cut the flowers off the bunches (leaving 2-3" of stem). Then just poke the stems into the foam wreath form and arrange the flowers into any pattern you want.


3. Then I hung it on my front door!


I also got a small flag that I put in my topiary planter next to the door. I am thinking of putting something in the middle of the wreath like a star or something, but I didn't see anything at Michael's that I really liked. If I add anything I'll post updated pictures.

Now I'm all ready for the patriotic holidays coming up. America, Fuck yeah!
