This is a fun little project you might want to try~Red Carnation Wreath . All you need is silk carnations, Styrofoam wreath form, and little ornaments.
I loved it because it looked so cottagey cute!

GOOD MORNING TINA,
FIRST...THANK YOU FOR SHARING ABOUT THE PRECIOUS LITTLE BOWL SET......THOSE WERE TO SING A SONG FOR, I'LL TELL YOU.
SECOND...THE WREATH IS SO VERY PRETTY AND I AM CERTAIN IT IS EVEN PRETTIER IN PERSON...WHAT I DO TO THE SILK FLOWERS I USE IN MY WREATHS IS TO ADD A SMALL DROP OF MY FAVORITE LIQUID MULBERRY ESSENCE REFRESHER OIL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLOWER AND THEY SMELL HEAVENLY....I HAVE ATTRACTED BUTTERFLIES TO MY FRONT DOOR BY ADDING IT TO WREATHS I PLACE OUTSIDE
THE RED CHRISTMAS TREE....SO PRETTY AND THE PAPER CONES YOUR DAUGHTER MADE AND HOW YOU FILLED THEM IS SO SWEET.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING...I CAN HARDLY WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU FIX NEXT....I WISH I WAS YOUR NEIGHBOR.......
HAVE A BLESSED DAY.....your newest, biggest fan

You've been tagged!
Tina, Although we don't know each other I have been a faithful reader of your blog for quite some time. You have been such an inspiration to me and I have enjoyed reading and seeing the transformation of your beautiful home. You inspired me to start a blog and I would love it if you stop by and see me some time. I have tagged you to tell us 6 random things about yourself - stop by for the details
Blessings,
Kymber

Tina....I was nearly holding my breath to see your Christmas decorations....I haven't been disappointed. This wreath is lovely. I was wondering about how many red carnations that you used to fill this wreath? Thanks for the inspiration.

Andrea~ it takes 8 "bouquets" (bunch) of red carnations~ I bought mine at Hobby Lobby. All the silk flowers are at half price. I'm working on my second red carnation wreath...
