Hydrangea & Antler Wreath...

Hi there!

If you've stopped by recently, you may know that I've been on a bit of a hydrangea-drying kick. You can see more about that here.

So now, the fun part… how to use all those gorgeous dried hydrangeas! 

I just made this hydrangea and antler fall wreath for our door! I love its fullness.


Not counting the antlers, it cost about $8 for the straw wreath and greenery pins! At a florist, this would cost at least $60, easy.

And it couldn't be simpler to make! Just use greenery (or U) pins from the craft store to pin your dried flowers (the stems) into a straw wreath form. It's fun and fast!

I needed a few more hydrangeas and my neighbor kindly said of her hydrangea plants, "Oh honey, take whatever you want." (What a dream-maker! ;) I'll make her one too!


More fall decorating coming soon!

I want to thank Cozy Little House, Fishtail Cottage, The Shabby Nest and Tater Tots & Jello for including Little Farmstead on their blogs! I hope you'll visit these creative blogs...

Have a wonderful day!

    Hi Julie,

    Coming over from Brenda's today, and so glad I did! What a wonderful way to welcome autumn with your hydrangea antler wreath, allowing you to remember also the days when this pretty flower was in its prime! Your porch is pretty and inviting. Thanks for sharing and happy weekend!

    Oh I'm so glad that I found your blog! Brenda from Cozy Little House sent me over. I love your style. I'm a huge fan of grey and white with white slipcovered furniture too. So I feel a connection to your spaces. Wish I lived on that much property! I'm also a mother of boys. I will be following your blog in the future. Love your homemade hydrangea wreath too.
