St. Patrick's Day Ceiling Medallion Wreath

From my previous crafty post I used a ceiling medallion to make a mirror for my entry way. Well I still had two more of these ceiling medallions left from my awesome garage sale find so I wanted to come up with something else unique to use them for. I thought it might look pretty cool as a wreath too and it would be so simple!!  I am just loving these medallions! I'm kinda obsessing about this wreath right now so who knows I might make another fun wreath out of the last one too!

As you can see it fairly easy to make. These decorative gems I got at the Dollar store. That paint I already had but if you are in search for a great green this "Ivy leaf" paint color by Krylon is the best green I have found for home decor projects. I have a lot of green decor in my house that has been painted with this color. LOVE it!

I bought this fabulous printed fabric from Walmart. I bought just 1/4 yard and cut it 6 inches wide. Since I have such a tall door I had to sew two strips together to make it longer. To hang it my my neighbor Katie taught me an awesome trick. You put one of those large removable wall hooks that you can buy just about anywhere and stick it on the top of the inside of your door. I now will never have to have one of the wreath hangers! LOVE this trick!

Not bad for a 5 dollar project!

Sleek and Stylish

I can not get enough of this mustard colored top. I had talked about it before on how it is kind of a new edgy neutral. It goes with everything but because the zipper in the back is red it inspired this color combo. Oh and how about these red pumps. Its crazy how many things I am finding that I can were them with! My new fav!!

What HE wore Wednesday

Who's this random guy with the bow tie?  My hot and as Weird Al Yankovic sang it "White and Nerdy" husband!!  He thought it would be pretty funny to strut his stuff and show off his Sunday best. About the bow tie?  The start of his bow tie trend was when he wore his 1st one at his at his pharmacy school graduation. I just had to laugh as devoted some serious time to finding the perfect bow tie to go with his graduation gown! I  Didn't realize then he would soon slowly gain a collection of them and wear them on a regular basis! Seriously never a dull moment with this man. He keeps me and everyone else that  knows him entertained on a regular basis. He prides himself on his love for all things geeky and that text book he is holding, well he really does love that kind of stuff! If you are interested in unique humor here is his blog   You're-not-normal where he likes to write about any random crazy thoughts he has or ideas and projects he has made.

Ceiling Medallion Mirror

Let me just first say how much I love garage sales! Its like a treasure hunt to me. These ceiling medallions I bought for $1 a piece and I bought them just because I liked the detail on them and I also knew that to buy these brand new could cost anywhere from $10-$100+ A treasure indeed I happened to stumbled upon! 
    Well originally I had thought about using these for what they were meant for but then I have always loved mirrors and easily envisioned popping a round mirror right in the middle of it.

Supplies- Ceiling Medallion ,white gloss spray paint, glue gun, 6" round mirror that can be bought at Michaels or Joanns, and a saw tooth hanging hook
