Christmas Oranges

For those of you who wondered….

No, I did not repaint my orange door for Christmas!

Instead, I decided to EMBRACE THE ORANGE!

I purchased an evergreen wreath at a Christmas tree yard last night.  I removed the two sprigs of fake berries, two silver-painted cedar branches, and the pathetic red bow.

Armed with pinecones, a bag of oranges from Hobby Lobby ($3.60 after coupon), twigs, spray adhesive, glitter, and a glue gun, I embellished the wreath to make my orange door a little more Christmas-y!

I have to admit, I wasn’t sure I was going to like it until I got the glitter on.  Glitter makes everything better, though, I’m sure!

Today it is about 36 degrees with 60-100 mph winds (no kidding).  Making a wreath was WAY more appealing than repainting the door!

    You made oranges Christmas-y! I like it! I kind of want to do the same things, but with pears. It's really pretty, Korrie.
    My son said there's some crazy high winds there. Stay safe!

    Are you kidding me?...I wouldn't touch that beautiful door with a paint brush, either.
    That wreath is amazing and looks fabulous on your pretty door.
    YOU DID GOOD, GIRLFRIEND...:))
