Frame Wreath

This next project I did awhile ago and actually have had it hanging for most of the fall- and it makes me happy every time I pass by it!
I saw it on Pinterest and with my love of all things photos it seemed like fun!

And here is what I did!


 I started with an oval twig wreath and bought about 20 mini frames from Hobby Lobby (50% off) oh and a couple sparklier ones from Pier 1- I then arranged them on the wreath to get an idea of how many vertical and horizontal pics I would need.  Then I printed out black/white copies just on regular paper of all of my fave pics.



I changed mine up a little bit in that I got an oval instead of a circle twig wreath to make it a bit easier to hang the pictures on.

After that I took each frame and removed the stand on the back, which leaves a little metal piece that you can easily put a floral wire through to attach it to the wreath.  A bit time consuming but worth it!
After I had finished attaching all of the pics I got some burlap and fun ribbon to hang it- but when I was looking for the perfect spot- I decided to try it directly on top of a magnolia wreath I had hanging in my entry and really like it with the green popping out behind.  Happy Accident!
So here she is in all her glory- and I really did just print out the pics on regular printer paper and you really can't tell when they are that small- I just changed the option in printing to be a 3x3 and it was that simple!





Hope you are all having fun getting ready for the holidays! I think a fun Christmas bow will be all this needs to transition right over!
