Revamped Wreath

This is the an old wreath I revamped for eight dollars!
It looks better in person and even glistens in the sunlight.
 I bought the plastic sparkly, and plain balls in varied sizes at a dollar store! 
Two shades of blue off set  the silver!
Not normally a blue person, I am surprisingly attracted to it lately!

This  red one at pier 1 imports is shockingly $115.00!!! In person it doesn't
 look this full!
 
                                    
 This silver one, also at pier 1 imports is $80.00, no where near this full looking in person! My daughter  said ours looks way better. I had planned to add some ribbon to mine, but decided against it!

Got an old wreath laying around that looks kind of 80's or 90's ish a little limp and outdated? Give it a revamp! Fill your boots at the dollar store! Check out a few, they all have different decorations!  Get a little floral wire then go to town with anything that suits your fancy! Happy decorating!

I agree with Pepper. Your wreath looks much better than the ones from Pier 1....and I definitely like the cost of yours! I love the dollar stores and almost always find fun things to play with.

Sorry I haven't been around much lately. Busy, busy, busy....but hopefully it will soon be back to normal.

i do that all the time, recycle my wreaths and the dollar store makes it easy to have a different fancy every year...Your looks like a million bucks!

WOW!! Yours is BEAUTIFUL!! I would buy it over those others in a second! You are truly an artist in all you do!
floral wire, eh? I think it takes more than that!! I really don't think I could even begin to make such a lovely wreath! but I agree that you can find some great buys at the dollar stores! I found christmas tree cookies that taste so close to my butter cookies, I said F*** it, I'm buying these!!! Just in case I don't get time to bake! :))
(bah humbug!) xox hugs

I really prefer yours because I like a wreath with an evergreen base. The blue is gorgeous! 8 dollars? Amazing!
