About a month into finding Pinterest, I pinned an umbrella wreath hanger.
I thought about it often. Too often.
I obsessed about wanting one but thought it would be too hard to make.
I caved.
My Mom has been here this week so I had the joys of shopping with her.
I love you MOM!
What you will need is one umbrella, a handful of tulips, fern, grass and nest.
I first tied a ribbon around the center of my umbrella.
This also allowed me to just pick and stick my flowers.
No foam. No gluing.
Just pick and stick!
I like to hang my wreath on my door and work from there.
I'm sure I keep the neighbors entertained...ha.
The tulips have wire stems so you can just bend where needed.
I never spend more than 30 minutes making a wreath.
I find if you just pick and stick you won't fall prey to "is it good enough?"
I like the natural look.
I also love the fact that I can reuse everything.
I wired the nest in so it's good and snug and reusable.
I had someone ask me why I never used hot glue.
I live in the deep south so glue does not work well outdoors. melts in 3.4 seconds
The flowers came from Michael's and the umbrella Hobby Lobby.
The nest was something I have had around for years.
You may have to bend your umbrella wires a bit.
I bent the front 3.
In the past, I have always made a wreath for each door.
This year I decided to go solo.
Although both doors can open, we only use one.
So I placed a tiny nail in the middle frame.
This part stays stationary so it worked perfect for the wreath.
This umbrella is a "jumbo" size.
For a single door you may need to use a regular size umbrella.
At Hobby Lobby they have many spring colors to choose from. love em all!
I know it's not quite spring yet but our weather here didn't get the memo. Ha!

I L-O-V-E it! I think you did an awesome job. Can't wait to get to Hobby Lobby to bet my supplies. Thanks for a great idea.
ReplyDeleteSo cute. The birds net is the perfect accent. I love my double doors but sometimes it's no fun making double displays. I love the idea of one central jumbo arrangement. Happy (almost)spring.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh that is so cute! I love how it turned out! Just amazing. YOu are amazing, the things you come up with never seem to amaze me. Yep! I'm sure you have just started a spring decor frenzy...umbrellas will be selling left and right...all because of you!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
Blessings,
Debbie
What a fun idea! So, so pretty! Good for you making something you saw on Pinterest. I have about a million things I want to try pinned! Hopefully I will do at least a few of them. The umbrella is so pretty! I was thinking it looked a lot like the ones I saw at Hobby Lobby the other day and I guess I was right! I was very tempted to buy one.

So darn cute..love the colors that you went with.

Perfect! Those umbrellas were nice~ wish now I would have picked me up one. Love the colors.
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable, and I so want one! If I dsidn't have the flu, I would be on my way to HobLob right this minute for an umbrella.
ReplyDeleteLove, Love this! Definitely going to copy it for April door display after Easter--get it....for April Showers! I crack myself up! :)
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job! I may have to head over to Hobby Lobby this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of two front doors and your "umbrella" looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo stinkin' cute! Going to have to give that a try. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI have this pinned, too. I can't hang anything on my door, so it's yet to be decided if I make one. :) Yours is so cute!
ReplyDeleteok, once again you astound me!! I have a broken umbrella from the botanical gardens, its lovely, cant bear to throw it away..guess what it will be by bedtime tonight?? Yeap! LOVE!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect addition to anyone's front door! Southern greetings of early tulips are always to joy to see.

I pinned the umbrella also and have been debating whether to try to recreate it.
ReplyDeleteYou made it look so easy...I think I can!

I really like this! I think I'm going to try it, but I know it will be filled with lizards. They love sunning on my front porch:/
ReplyDeleteVery cute, Susie! And cheerful as well.

ahhhhh! You beat me to it! I pinned that pic a while ago too and kept saying "I must make one of those!" yours is just lovely!!! and glad to know its just pick and stick- I was wondering how I was going to make this.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
Susie,
ReplyDeleteI tore this image out of a magazine last year and tucked it in my project notebook. I LOVE how yours turned out.
