White Winter Wreath dressed for February (which is my birthday month so maybe I should call this I Love Myself holiday month?!). For December I put a big plaid Christmas bow on the top with holly tipped floral spikes stuck into the wreath. For January its blue and sparkly snowflake ribbon with a big crystal snowflake dangle.

Orange & Black Fall Wreath - undressed. For Sepember I add fall leaves & a plaid bow. For October its all Halloweenie. November gets a Thanksgiving treatment. Funny, but one guy I dated thought it was in honor of Bengals football season.

I was shopping one day and saw this absolutely adorable feather wreath. Of course the price tag was more than I was willing to spend (over $50). So I went to the craft store and bought a few foam wreath forms, 2 feather boas (in 4 different color varieties) so that I could make 4 wreaths - Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter. This way by just changing the ribbon and any decoration I have a wreath for each season! For all the supplies for 4 wreaths I still came in at under $50!

All you need to do is hot glue the boa (you kinda have to make sure you catch the string that hold the feathers so it's more secure on the wreath) to the wreath form in a circle. Mine took 2 boas and it's very fluffy and full. I paid $2.99 - $3.99 for each boa, $1.50 for each wreath and I had the ribbon on hand in my stash of ribbons. Takes less than an hour and would even make a fabulous holiday gift for a friend or family member!
