pin to present: wreath upgrade

As mentioned in yesterday's holiday home tour, I'm all about the mix of artificial and real greens this year - keeps both the costs and the messes moderate. So when I spotted this tutorial for making a craft store wreath look fancy, I knew it was just the thing for me!

I happened to have a few of these cheap-o wreaths from Michael's in the basement - I say cheap-o because they're the kind of thing that they'll sometimes put on sale for like $5, but also because they look rather artificial. Which is why they hadn't seen the light of day for a while, until this inspiration to take free trimmings from outside and just tuck them right in. It took probably 5 minutes, and I think it's a pretty good upgrade!

Definitely check out the tutorial if you have any faux greens that could use a real green boost...
