I make a lot of stuff, but I didn’t make these little witches. A friend made them and gave them to me a few years ago.
Aren’t they adorable?
They’ve been wrapped in paper, resting in a shoe box for several years but I was determined to show them off. My personal challenge to make a new wreath every season this year is the perfect way to do that.
After I removed the summer sun from my the styrofoam wreath I’m using this year, I realized I would only be able to use one of the witches.
I wrapped the wreath with this pink, rust, gold, mesh fabric I found in the red tag section at JoAnn Fabrics.
Then, my mom dug through her stash and started cutting out leaves.
I pinned the leaves to the wreath and perched the smaller witch in the center.
The first wreath I made was for Valentine’s Day.
The first wreath I made this year was for Valentine’s Day.
Next came lots of green sparkly tulle for St. Patrick’s Day.
Then crocheted flowers made up this Springtime wreath.
In June when I went patriotic for Flag Day and the Fourth of July with a Stars and Stripes Wreath. which I updated here.
I had an idea about the “dog days of summer” for my next wreath, but couldn’t make my idea look right, so I went with a simple summer sun.
I updated that wreath for the eclipse on August 21.
And now it’s fall.
My little witch will stay in place until Halloween, and then I’ll take her down and do something a little more harvesty.
I had in mind to make a wreath each month, but I haven’t kept up that pace. I think I’ll end up with nine or ten maybe. We’ll see what I come up with over the next few months.
Do you hang wreaths on your door or around the house throughout the year? I don’t usually, but this year I’ve had fun coming up with something new as the seasons change. And I really like not having to store something, or give it away, when the season is over.
