Vintage Wire Wreath DIY
I love that these vintage wire wreaths are timeless and will work with any of the four seasons for seasonal decor. Don't you just love the sparkle? Pretty, elegant and will carry me through to Spring. I found these items in my stash, which was a relief because the paper flowers I was trying (key word there - trying! haha!) to make wouldn't have turned out as nice.
Gather your supplies...you will need:

- Wire Rings
- Vintage Metal Flowers* (or fabric/paper/silk flowers or these as an alternative)
- Ribbon
- Rhinestone Buttons/Embellishments
- Hot Glue**
* I found my vintage metal flower candle holders at a thrift store. I'm sure Etsy or Ebay will have similar metal flowers if you can't find them at your thrift store or an estate sale.
** I used hot glue because I want to be able to remove the flowers in the future if I decide to ever use them as candle holders! Highly unlikely, but I like options. Since the flowers and ring are metal, hot glue won't be a permanent solution (which is a plus for me!), so if you want your wreath to last longer you might want to use E6000 or Gorilla Glue or something like that.
Directions:
1. Glue the rhinestone/button in the center of the flower. If you can bend back the petals a little it will be easier to get the rhinestone in the center.2. Glue the flower to the ring. I needed to hold the flower on the ring while the hot glue cooled and hardened so it didn't slip off.
3. Tie on a pretty ribbon and hang on your wall! See, I told you it would be quick and easy!
Party Time!
