DIY Split Pea Wreath

DIY Split Pea Wreath

I have spent many an afternoon floating on my Pinterest cloud. The ideas there are endless and I never know what treasure of an idea I might find. I felt that the grand two-story entrance to our home needed a little VAVOOM! Of course, I found my inspiration on Pinterest...introducing the split pea wreath!

This beautiful wreath was originally posted {here} on That Red Headed Step Child and eventually made its way to Pinterest where I joyfully discovered it.

You will need the following items - it will cost less than $10 to make!

• 18" straw wreath from Hobby Lobby,  unwrapped
• 1 bag of hot glue sticks
• 3 bags of green split peas

I just started gluing like a mad woman. Take note, if you are messy like me, do not do this in the house. I had peas flying everywhere! I finished my project in the garage. :) Tip: Use alot of glue!

Once I finally had glued on all my peas, I gave the wreath a good coating of acrylic to protect it from the harsh Iowa weather and to give it some shine. TA DAAAAA! Here is the wreath hanging on our front door.

I wanted a wreath that I could leave-up year round and I feel that this wreath is very versatile. Right now, I just have a black ribbon on it, but I think I could really spice it up for the holidays with a red or gold ribbon. The possibilities are endless!

Have a great weekend everyone! TGIF!
