I saw the adorable idea for this wreath
here, she sited where she got this idea, etc etc, and the internet lived happily ever after. I'm slowly making/collecting a series of wreaths for each season, and despite the fact that there are several more holidays to come, it just seemed like a good time to post a spring wreaths in honor of the season of growth. The empty pots pretty much represent my gardening skills. I can buy cute pots like you wouldn't believe, it's everything after I don't do well/don't follow through with/don't want to discuss any further. As for the process. I grabbed a grapevine wreath at the Goodwill Store for 99 cents that was a medium size (I didn't want one too large or the pots might just get ridiculously heavy). I also found a stack of 6 pots on sale at Hobby Lobby for half off (they do this quite frequently, so it ended up only costing a little over a dollar each set of six pots.

I bought every mini pot they had in the store, and it ended up being the perfect number. I could have added 12 more, but I think it turned out fine. I looped a wire through each pot, and tied it to the wreath.
It's pretty heavy, and I may add a raffia bow...or I might leave it as is, but I hope Spring notices and decides to stick around!

I have a wreath addiction and this one is sooo unique! I love the fact that it is also very weatherproof - it would look great on our fence.

I've made wreaths with clay pots, but with other decorations on them. However, your wreath is so cute with just the pots. I could see it for spring or summer. It would look stunnin near a garden bench or potting bench if you have one.
This is amazing, I just love it!
I love this post and can't wait to see more! I too love to have a wreath for each season
