Easter wreath renovation

 As much as I loved my crazy winky bunny wreath...Easter is only once a year. So why waste a perfectly good grapevine wreath? I decided to re-use it and give it a second chance to decorate my door, a resurrection in honor of its original holiday I guess. So here is its makeover, I have 2 versions one w/ my faux antique painted N and one w/o:

W/ the sweet faux N

still fab w/o the N

Here's my brief tutorial:
Cut stems to a manageable length and attach flowers by both sticking through the grapevine and securing w/ grapevine floral wire.

Faux N- spray paint letter w/ primer and gloss spray paint (i used krylon for both the color I used was antique white) let dry then coat w/ dark wood stain and wipe off w/ rag. Add and wipe stain until you get the look you want.

Crazy Crafter Inside!

This was my Easter wreath, but as the title state I think the caption for this photo could be "crazy crafter inside" almost as a warning label so visitors know what to expect. My love affair w/ wreaths and door decor is a fairly recent development, and this is my first actual attempt at a wreath we had what i would classify as a misadventure in crafting last Easter when i attempted the butterfly tree (Centerpiece fail) but crisis and opportunity are sometimes the same character...this year I resurrected the butterfly theme and brought to life my vision of a winking bunny through the magic of crochet :) my winky bunny made me smile every time i saw him (its a him, ck out his sweet Easter bowtie) I really have no directions or tutorial on this project its a grapevine wreath so I follow a "get in where you fit in" approach w/ arranging the flowers although I did re-enforce some of them w/ grapevine floral wire, the butterflies are clips (lucky find, thanks Michael's clearance table!), and the fab bunny was made by crocheting in rounds then embroidering a face w/ yarn using a K size needle. All colors were red heart supersaver its an excellent durable yarn great for projects that require some structure. Using this technique I messed w/ the size of everything until he fit just right inside the wreath.
