Singing in the Rain Spring Door Umbrella Wreath

March 26, 2012  It's a Cinch | My Projects

Singing in the Rain Spring Umbrella Wreath kellyelko.com

Think outside the round wreath when decorating your doors – why not an umbrella wreath.

Spring showers bring flowers so why not combine the two.

Snip some bright forsythia and pop it into a bubble umbrella
(add some water so they stay perky).

Don’t judge my outfit in the reflection!  Ok – so I’m in my pj’s but I’m blaming my recuperation from gallbladder surgery last week!

    Can I just steal all of your ideas so everyone will think I am brilliant. (seriously, no one would believe me and as I can’t ell a lie without telling on myself, i would blab the truth immediately) I love this. Now if I can just find my umbrella before the forsythias stop blooming. Hole you are feeling better. Don’t do to much too quickly. I’ve been there.

    I love those flowers! When ours bloom I can always be sure spring (and impending rains) are here. Maybe I should carry an umbrella in my purse too. That’ll show those thieves!

    This is one of the neatest door displays I’ve ever seen. Everything about it is awesome! I have forsythia blooming in my yard for the first time this year but it’s such a tiny plant, I don’t dare cut any branches off it. Walking up to a door with this hanging on it = instant happiness.

    Thanks for sharing!

    I’m so enJOYing this. Such a creative idea. I should go buy stock in the folks that make clear plastic umbrellas, because a bunch of us are now going to need to go out and buy one. Also, you’ve opened my mind to think of other things made from plastic that I could use. Thanks for sharing.
