Primitive Garden wreath
18 inch Primitive Garden wreath. I cut out the shapes myself from recycled mahogany, so it's real lightweight. After cutting out the sign and the primitive flowers, I painted them, then sanded the edges for a distressed look, antiqued them with Folk Art antiqing medium, and then sprayed them with matte acrylic sealer. Each piece is attached to the wreath with a strong piece of black baling wire. To give the wreath some more color and a wonderful scent, I added in some dark red and green Sweet Annie. I also added some tied pieces of americana tan and barn red plaidhomespun fabric for an extra little prim touch. Then I took it to a local barn for the photograph.
The wreath is a 18" grapevine and I added a wire loop on the back so it can be hung either on a wreath hook, wreath stand, or on the wall.
