Have I ever introduced you about my little sister Ashley?


She is beautiful. She’s an amazing mom. She is a great business woman. And she is so creative.

So when she asked me for a good idea for a Spring Wreath the other day, I showed her a picture that has been pinned on my Craft Room wall for about 6 months:

And she made an even better version for her front door! Check it out. What a cute wreath for Spring!!

PB-Inspired Butterfly Wreath






Here are the supplies she used:

Here’s what Ashley says:



  • I had 2 kinds of moss. Spongy moss and large sheets of moss. Both were preserved but real.



  • I took a grapevine wreath form and started hot gluing the sheets of moss onto the wreath, wrapping each piece around to the back. It took probably 10-12 sheet pieces to cover the wreath.



  • I then took the spongy moss and glued that in the gaps and crevices to give the wreath depth and dimension.



  • I found white butterflies in the floral section of Michaels. They were attached to 12 inch long wire. I thread the wire through the moss and into the back of the grapevine wreath, wrapping the ends around a piece of the grapevine to secure. I left 2 inches of wire between the butterflies and the wreath so they could hover above and create depth.



  • Finally, I attached a large piece of satin ribbon at the top and put it on my door. Voila!



  • The project took a total of 20 minutes and was super simple!







{You can also find these wreath forms at the Dollar Store.}
