Spring is the perfect time to not only spruce up the inside of your home, but also the front porch.    This front porch had a plain white rocker & a wrought iron “initial” plaque on the brick fascia.  Not only did I add a delicate white blooming plant in the clay pot on the table, but I also added a square-shaped, plain greenery wreath around the wrought iron wall plaque.  I purchased a yard of springy fabric, in a pink stripe, from the dollar/yard table at Wal mart and stitched together a new cover for an old, outdated pillow.  Then, I hot glued a pink daisy right in the center of the pillow to announce the season with a touch of whimsy.  Finally, I wired a few loops of sheer pink, floral ribbon together to create a bow & added it to the square greenery wreath to bring my pink accent color up.  It is such a light & welcoming touch to an otherwise plain front porch setting.

Can’t find a square wreath of greenery?  You could easily make it yourself, by adding artificial greenery picks (available at craft stores) to a square Styrofoam wreath.  Or, for an even less expensive idea ~ cut your square wreath shape out of a pizza box bottom & top, glue them together for strength.  Hot glue moss to the front, side & insides of the cardboard frame, cut the back stems of the greenery picks very short, add a touch of hot glue to the end of them  &  push them into the cardboard.  [I found my square wreath at QVC.com].  And here’s another internet source, I recently found,  for a pretty square wreath:  www.plowhearth.com (search English Lavendar Square).

Enjoy the Creativity!
