Boxwood Wreath: St. Patty's Day





When I made this boxwood wreath for Christmas last year, little did I know how fun it would be to transform seasonally. For Christmas, I kept it pretty plain and simple...with a handmade monogram and ribbonFor Valentine's, transformed with ribbon, hearts and heart garland...very festive!








...and now for St Patty's Day: clover garland, ribbon and my little handmade lucky clover transforms it once again!







Now I know that turquoise isn't a traditional St.Patty's Day color, but when you try to put all green on a green boxwood wreath, it gets, well: green. Really, really, REALLY green!






I must say that I really love the combination!





Easter next???


Thanks for stopping by! I hope you're inspired!

  1. Happy Sunday Michelle...
    I so love this boxwood wreath. I have gotta tell you sweetie. I love the turquoise with the green combination. It is absolutely breathtaking. So beautiful for sure. That plaid ribbong with the strands makes this wreath really pop. I love your clover with the little fanned effect and the button. It is just perfect. Lucky is the best of all. What a beautiful job you did with this holiday.

    You have inspired me to create something for my front door. I will have to buy a wreath of some sorts that can be seasonal (here in Phoenix it gets so hot) and then maybe I can decorate my door seasonally too. Any ideas? Grapevine maybe?

    Have a beautiful day and thanks for sharing. I love it when you do. Country hugs sweetie...Sherry

  4. I love that! So clever just to change the decorations on the same wreath! Is it real boxwood? If so, it looks amazing for hanging around that long.

  5. What a great idea to have ONE wreath that you can change with the seasons!That would definitely help with storage since wreaths are a little large @ awkward to store.

  6. You are so clever! Your wreath looks great in every season, and I think the St. Patty's wreath is wonderful! I would never have thought to use turquoise with it, and it looks fabulous! laurie
