See how easy it is to dress up your front entryway for Spring with a DIY boxy shaped wreath and matching urn fillers!
This year I'm celebrating the arrival of spring by creating a unique looking wreath to place on my front door, using curvy sticks called Kulu sticks and a pretty flower garland that I cut to fit. I wanted to create something different from the usual round wreaths for my entryway and for the urns that are there, too.
To make this project, you will need:
Curvy sticks (Kulu sticks)
DecoArt Outdoor Patio paint/brush
Flower garland
Hot glue gun
8" Styrofoam ball
Large skewer sticks
Large skewer sticks
Floral pins
Faux ivy picks

I found the curvy sticks used here a few years ago at a craft store in North Carolina. They were originally a deep maroon color (now faded) and well over six feet long. I was really drawn to the unusual look! Michaels carries something similar in a natural or chocolate color called Kulu sticks.

To begin, I cut the sticks into four, 16" and 14" lengths and hot glued them together (where they touched) into a rectangular, boxy 16"x14" shaped wreath.
Then I painted the sticks using DecoArt Outdoor Patio Paint in Woodland Brown.
adding a few more flowers, here and there in the top left and bottom right corners, draping over the edges . . . keeping it pretty simple! I love the exposed shape of the frame!
Next, I cut an 8" Styrofoam ball in half and draped each half in garland and flowers, securing with floral pins. You can buy half foam balls to decorate, but I had this one already, so I cut it in half!
It's always fun to "shop" what you have in your stash for projects!
I hot glued a large skewer stick (used for grilling) in the bottom center of each half foam ball to place into the urns (not shown) - to help secure the foam in the dirt.
And finally, ivy picks were added to the front of each urn to enhance the flowers.
Don't you just love this inviting look!
Welcome Spring!
Thanks for stopping by, and
Happy Spring Crafting!
