WINTER WHITE WREATH

Do you find your holiday wreath on your door still up midway through February? For me, I like the “holiday feeling” to last too. I wait all year for Christmas and then suddenly the holiday is over, decorations boxed up, tree down and lights packed away. Just like that. A little harsh. Ah, but the wreath seems to linger a little longer on the door. Maybe it is to preserve the holiday feeling, or cover a few nicks in the paint or, perhaps, you just don’t know what to put up in its place. Here is the perfect transition. The winter white wreath. So calm and elegant and hard to ignore. So beautiful you could leave it up all year. Inside or out, the perfect transition from season to season.

Winter white wreath is home to any kind of door...classic, modern, farmhouse or vintage.

Here is what you will need-

Faux Eucalyptus Wreath...Link here

Spray Primer

Spray Chalk Paint-  Linen White

Spray Sealer

This silk eucalyptus wreath comes in several sizes. I used the 14" wreath, but you could use any size you like.

Anytime you work with spray paints, please use in a well-ventilated space. I tied twine to the wreath and hung it up outside so I could spray both front and back at the same time.

One coat of primer.

First light coat of chalk paint.

Second coat of chalk paint.

If you plan to use your wreath outside, you should finish the wreath with one coat of sealer. This will protect your wreath from the elements.

Let dry one hour between coats.

This “faux shutter” is really a shelf. I removed the screws from the galvanized shelf and discarded.

Secure the wreath onto the shutter. Add furniture felt strips to the back to prevents scrapes to your door.

Or on a wall. A simple and beautiful way to decorate for any season...
