A Little Green {with easy wreath tutorial}

I told myself I was NOT going to decorate for St.Partick's Day.  I needed a break from holiday decor.  Plus, I've never been a fan of the St. Patty's decor I've seen.  It mostly looks gaudy and tacky to me.

Why should I be surprised that all these crafty bloggy ladies I follow would have so many cute St. P's Day decor???  So I couldn't resist doing a few things.  And I mean a few things.  I pretty much whipped it together {other than the framed printables, had those done} all last night... yeah the last day of February.  But now I'm ready for March today with my cute, green decorations!

Here's what I've got: {Captions underneath}

 framed printable {I'll try to find where I got it}

 printable shown on the baker's rack with my picture frame now having green scrapbook paper {took out the red} in the no picture spots

 My seasonal candy jars now with green candy and green ribbons, I love these guys :)

 Another cute printable on the bookshelf, I love the the quatrefoil with the little clover {it's my favorite printable- found here}

 This little guy I threw together last night.  I was trying to think of something cute that I already had to fill the vase.  So I just shredded and scrunched some green scrapbook paper, threw it in the vase, and added some trim.  I love it!  {So happy it was free too}

Another printable I love from here, with a model I LOVE SO MUCH!

 On my sewing table next to, yes, the last printable I've put out {yep, don't know where that one was either}

Here is my "big" craft last night.  And when I say big, I mean fairly quick and easy compared to most crafts.  But it took the longest of the St. Patrick's day stuff {which isn't saying much, haha}

The Tutorial Part:

Get a frame.  I took a frame I had that I had previously found at Goodwill for $1.  Paint it green.  Then take some sandpaper and lightly sand to distress the edges.  

Make some rosette flowers to embellish with.  I used burlap but you can use anything.

Finally, hot glue some ribbon to the back of the frame and tada!

You have a non-traditional, frame wreath.  You could also fill the frame if you want.  With a cute printable, something like a vinyl four leaf clover if you have a fancy Silhouette or Cricut, or even a large monogram {the first letter of your last name}.  The possibilities are endless.  

I'm pretty happy with it.  What do you think?

I got to thinking later if I should add a cute printable inside like that one {you- "another one???"}

I kept thinking about it.  So this morning I did and snapped a few pictures.  Now you can tell me which you like better for my front door, mmmm k?  K!

So which will it be friends? 

Please help! :)
