Front Door Wreath

I usually have a holiday/season appropriate wreath on my front door but whenever May rolls around, my door ends up sad and empty, usually until September.  This year I was determined to do something about it.  My Easter wreath was falling apart and so I decided to go ahead and strip all the decor away and I was left with this...

... a nice bare grapevine wreath.  A perfect base for my new front door wreath, even if it is a little lopsided.  I wanted something simple and cute that matches my other living room decor.  I've pinned all kinds of wreaths that use fabric flowers and so that is the direction I decided to go.

For my living room decor I'm using my family scrabble tile board as my color inspiration and I just happened to have a scrap of polka dot fabric that was the same colors so I built a fabric color palette off of that scrap.

Now, obviously, I'm not using all these fabrics, but this gave me a good color base to go off of.   I decided to make frayed flowers, as they are my favorite type of fabric flower.  I started with one very large red flower, then I added a smaller orange flower, and an even smaller green flower.  At this point I decided it looked good just the way it was but I still hadn't used the blue color.  So I cut a strip of it and used it to hang the wreath from.  And there you have it...

... a cute simple door wreath.  This project cost me nothing (because I used supplies I already had around the house) and was done in under an hour.  But the best part?  My front door is no longer boring!
