Spring Wreath!

There is 4 to 8 inches of snow in the forecast today and it's March. I am OVER this winter stuff and ready for some spring. I decided to make a springy wreath to put on my front door to make it feel more like spring in my home. Of course, I wanted to do something cheap and unique. I found this gumball spring wreath from Fit, Crafty, Stylish and Happy and just loved it. 

Here is my version of the wreath!

MATERIALS and TUTORIAL

I used 3 bags of cherry sours. I think they were less than a $1.00 a bag. (Warning: you will want to eat cherry sours during your project, maybe get some candy that you don't like) I bought these because they were cheaper than the gumballs. 

I found this floral wreath at the Dollar Tree.

And then you will need your old, trusty hot glue gun to glue the cherry sours onto the wreath.

There really isn't a science to gluing the candy. I just glued where I thought it would look best and tried to keep some kind of pattern.  (Please, remember not to burn yourself in the process. Um, I might have done that a few times)

Here is the wreath with all of the candies glued down. 

I used Rust-oleum apple green spray paint from a left over project to paint the wreath. I sprayed it with one coat (if it was something that would be handled a lot I would put more coats on).

I found some pretty pink ribbon and tied it around the wreath. It was just the right touch of spring.
