Wire Photo Wreath

     Grandparent's Day was yesterday, and I'll be honest with you. I don't usually remember it. Last year, my mom mentioned it to my boys after the fact. So this year, I wanted to make sure we did something for her. I racked my brain for a gift idea.
     She loves anything with photos of my kids. Over the years, I've given her all kinds of grandkid-themed stuff: scrapbooks, photo albums, t-shirts, jewelry. . .

 

but I've never given her a PHOTO WREATH!

 

I bought this wire rug beater at a thrift store and it's been sitting in my room

just waiting to be used for something.

So once the wreath idea came to me, I knew what to do with this little fella.

 

I wrapped it with vintage lace, made a small "Love" banner, and stuck some photos in the rings.

Super easy, huh?

If you'd like to make a photo wreath, but don't happen to have a rug beater, you could use a grapevine wreath with mini clothespins to hold the photos.

 

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

 

Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.
