I love love love the chevron print chunky burlap ribbon I’ve seen around Blogland and Pinterest and could hardly wait to put this citrus-inspired project together using the lemon and lime colors found at Hob Lob! My poor neglected front door is sportin’ a spring wreath and with triple digits blaring here in Arizona, it was time to swap it for more summery decor. Without further adieu, here is my chevron citrus wreath:
I used a handful of supplies to make this cute wreath:
- yellow chevron ribbon, green chevron ribbon
- wreath form
- fake lemons
- shish kabob sticks
- pins
Talk about easy peasy! See if you can follow along:
Already it’s SO darn cute, right! (: Let’s move on to the embellishments now, shall we?
Here’s the cheapskate in me: not wanting to spend $6 per bag of lemons AND limes… and here’s the smartie in Kristi, which is why we’re a great team:
Yep, I totally painted a few lemons the perfect shade of lime green to save $6! LOL
From there, simply hang with bakers twine and enjoy.
Now I’m off to find some REAL lemons and limes to squeeze a cold glass of limeade… and by “squeeze” I mean head to Sonic! Ha! (;
Don’t forget to stop by each month on the 10th- snag a button and place it on your sidebar so you’ll remember!
