Homemade Christmas Wreath

My home is not fancy or spectacular.  I've never had anyone enter my home and say, "Wow!  It's gorgeous!"   But, I have had people come in and say things like, "It's so homey and comfortable!"

{THAT's what I'm going for!!} 

SO!  I needed a Christmas wreath to reflect that warm and cozy, come on it and warm you're self feeling.  Every wreath I found I was expensive.  And I don't know about you, but I'm against expensive.  And even if it's not expensive, I have this natural rebellion against spending full price on anything.  If you wait long enough it WILL go on clearance. 

I found this evergreen wreath on clearance at Micheal's for around $5.00.  And the cute little barn stars {right up my alley!} were on clearance for .50 cents each!  I snatched them up and made this wreath with things I already had in my basement.  The ribbon and the 'A' is part of the gift wrapping on a gift my husband gave me for Christmas one year.  The berries are from another wreath I'd made for someone else.  

I simply glued and wired things together until I came up with.....   

 It's not fancy, but it's 'me'.  And it only cost $6.50!

Update:  I have since added a string of battery operated Christmas lights that I found for under $2.50!!
