Buffalo Check Christmas Wreath
When my clock died I saved the parts.
I knew they'd be good for something some day and for some of those
lucky parts, that day is today!
I began by painting the outside of the clock with a green chalky finish paint by DecoArt.
The paint sticks to the shiny finish with no problem.
You can find the products I use by visiting the bold links in this post.
When the paint dried, (I "quick dry" my projects by sitting them in front of a fan), I sanded the edges for a distressed look.
Next, I made a set of bells using vintage tins and 2 small wooden cherries I had in my stash.
I tied the bells together with a narrow buffalo check ribbon.
Next, I made a large bow with a wider buffalo check wired ribbon and tied on the bells.
I hot glued a small twig of berries to my clock then tied on the bow with the bells.
I used a scrap piece of painted wood and used a Sharpie paint pen to write Merry Little Christmas then attached it to the wreath with hot glue.
That old broken clock became a beautiful buffalo check Christmas wreath, saving it from the land fill and beautifully decorating my front door!
I am replacing the winter wreath basket I made last year with a fresh new look.
Another great idea is the Canning Jar Holiday Wreath that uses recycled canning jar lids and the Easy Fall Hoop Wreath.
