Nothing small or demure... I want curb appeal! I want a BIG wreath that offers a big welcome! I want a focal point that will draw peoples eye to it's summer beauty! It must make people want to come inside. I want a design shop wreath without the design shop price!!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I can get all that by making a wreath myself.

I was not too tired or worn so I pulled it apart and saved  all the elements in clear plastic boxes.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I dusterd off the wreath and pulled off all of the old glue.  This is a very thick willow wreath. My favorite design trick is to wire two wreaths together This will give your wreath a very impressive look.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Today's wreath did not need an additional wreath.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I was lucky enough to find this great hydrangea pick at a floral design outlet. I have white hydrangeas blooming just off the porch all summer that turn a citron green so this pick was a good choice! Notice the filler that came along with it. Great colors!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWtpgXnrYtHICVDQcv02-OdY6J_LQZMUe99Whc2HqHKetkuUjMV5rjK5-2rCdUDn82XQABDwDG1QnImPF9NP5F_V59Ajwqp9XRVW7sc_Og5d0h1YYHmdJCMLj0-PS_GZRYkFCJsQscG8o/s1600/Copy+of+IMG_6413.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWtpgXnrYtHICVDQcv02-OdY6J_LQZMUe99Whc2HqHKetkuUjMV5rjK5-2rCdUDn82XQABDwDG1QnImPF9NP5F_V59Ajwqp9XRVW7sc_Og5d0h1YYHmdJCMLj0-PS_GZRYkFCJsQscG8o/s640/Copy+of+IMG_6413.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Decide on the overall design. I love to use a half moon design with wispy pieces curling around the rest of the wreath. Here is the finished wreath so you can see the overall design. I started at 6:00 on the wreath and  the design stops about 1:00. I continued some soft long stemmed flowers around to about 4:00. The picture will help explain!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVA97Jldui-ofHEit_BXlDG32RXrN1iPlMvutQCFlsoazvcIjwI5v75qpeJS4aNtTOd0g9-YpNCPzGsTBxh9M54Y71cuTZexfehAbzVCmuqLvSJpC0KjWrkk9dVmb9N34nhVGdYryZQck/s1600/Copy+of+IMG_6436.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVA97Jldui-ofHEit_BXlDG32RXrN1iPlMvutQCFlsoazvcIjwI5v75qpeJS4aNtTOd0g9-YpNCPzGsTBxh9M54Y71cuTZexfehAbzVCmuqLvSJpC0KjWrkk9dVmb9N34nhVGdYryZQck/s640/Copy+of+IMG_6436.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">To begin, I hot glued the whole pick to the wreath at 6:00.

I used citron green pom-pom hydrangeas that came clustered on stems.
