The Square Wreath gets a Silver Save.

Last year I put up a square boxwood wreath

on the window above my kitchen sink.

Now that it's dry and faded, it's been demoted to front door duty.  

 It hung there lonely for a few weeks until I felt like getting crafty.

Then I saw my inspiration at the Bachman's Winter Ideas House -see it here. 

Well that did it.  I knew I could fancy up my square wreath.

I have some silver coffee pots already, but they seemed big for what I wanted to do.

Just my luck - I spotted 2 child size pots at Goodwill. Score.

 Darling. (Or should I say Darjeeling?)

The big one was $5.99.  The smaller one was $2.99.

I snatched them up. (mine!)

I bought the checked ribbon at Goodwill too. 99 cents.

The pots were pretty tarnished and usually I'd just leave them that way.

But I had the hankering to clean them up.

So I gave them a quick polish with toothpaste and a damp paper towel.

I strung them up and tied them to the back of the wire form. done.

It took me 10 minutes.

I can easily change the ribbon color and toyed with putting a bow in front,

 but I like the boxwood fluffiness. 

A nice $10 save for an old wreath.

Merry Merry!
