My wreath for Easter and Spring

Love LOVE this time of year. Beautiful weather which makes my kids want to play outside and ride their bikes for hours and hours! I also love seeing all the flowers and trees in bloom. I just love all the beautiful bright colors that come along with this fabulous season. When I was thinking about the type of wreath I wanted to make for spring I of course wanted something bright and cheery that would reflect this time of year. I have always adored the color blue which is still my all time favorite color. Yellow however, is becoming a close second. So I knew I had to incorporate that as well. Also if you know me or have been reading some previous posts you will know that anything chevron print is a new obsession of mine. So  I wanted to add in as well. Adding the bubble gum as an element of this wreath well, that was a random thought.  However, I think it was sparked by seeing all of the Easter egg wreaths in the stores. Yea weird I know but I think it inspired the look I wanted my wreath to be. Which was very clean simple and modern. I couldn't be  happier with how this wreath turned out which was exactly how I had envisioned!

                           
             

I bought this tub of gumballs at Walmart . However I ran out and had to buy some more. I used about 45 more gumballs which I know that these can be bought  in bulk to as little or as much as you need like at Winco ( a new favorite grocery store of mine!) if you didn't want to buy a whole other tub.I however just bought another tub because my kids LOVE gum and this is a great reward for them.

The size of this styrofoam wreath form is 16". It was super easy to glue these gumballs to the wreath with my glue gun. I just made sure to press each gumball down firmly so they would stay.

Loving the Blue Ocean Breeze spray paint by Krylon. The perfect blue for Spring! I want to use this color for so many more things! It coats great. However I still had to put about four coats of paint to make sure I covered all the gumballs completely.

For my fabric wreath hanger I just used an old white sheet that I had and I cut it to 6" in width. I used masking tape to make the chevron print than painted it with this butter cream color acrylic paint. Worked out great! When the paint had dried I used my iron to press down the sides so that had no frayed edges and it helped to give the wreath that nice clean look.
