You may be wondering if you should take that leap and DIY your front door wreath. Whether you have the time to make it?
Well if you are like me, you don’t! I have found that if I don’t plan the time – the supplies – the idea, it doesn’t get done! Sometimes I don’t feel like working on a seasonal or holiday wreath for two hours. So I will give you a few tips on still getting those DIY wreaths created.
