Love these! Definitely a nice contrast to the green and red wreaths I have inside! I may have to go take a walk and find myself some pine cones to use.
Hi Rose, a nature walk is always refreshing …. most parks in the east coast have tons of leaves and pinecones.
Love these! Unfortunately I can’t find any of these things right outside my door (I live in Hawaii
)
I do have a plethora of mangoes though and fistful of basil.
Hmm, a wreath of mangos??!!! Hye, taht may work
Maybe you can even pait the mango seeds a cool color ; )
I think these are great and can be used for the whole winter. It’s not just for xmas. I always like to have a wreath on my door whether it be in June, December or Feb.
I totally agree – beautiful decor for the entire winter!!!
Luv this diy! For sure going to try this at home with my little ones! Thanks for sharing Ada and team!!!
Wonderful Julie … I love hearing when people r sooo inspired by a DIY that they want to try it themselves. Yay!!
What a great idea! And you can reuse them every year…
Absolutely! … even paint it different colors!
I’m loving the pine cone wreaths. I haven’t been into the homemade wreaths made of cloth or paper this year. These seem more “natural” to me.
Hi Lisa, the other day I saw one made of strapes of cloth (not my cup of tea either … eeewww). Hmmm, maybe if it was less strappy looking. I haven’t seen a paper wreath yet …. sounds flamable haha (oh sorry, that as the grinch speaking)! Some ideas look BEAUTIFUL seen than described… case in point: I made a cotton ball wreath and when I tell people they give me a weird ‘eeew’ look, but it came out pretty lovely (if I do say so myself). Glad u liked Maya’s idea.
