Inspiration


With all this social isolation and sheltering in place, you'd think I'd be cranking out the crafts and tearing up rooms in my home. But no. I've been taking a little breather and enjoying getting extra rest. I was recently diagnosed with CIRS (chronic inflammatory response syndrome), otherwise known as Mold Illness, and one of the main symptoms is chronic fatique.

I find that my fatigues ebbs and flows and if I'm busy one day, I need the next day to recover. So while I've been resting on the sofa, I've been enjoying scrolling through inspiration on my phone. When I saw this pretty wreath centerpiece that Antique Farmhouse recently posted, I realized that I had everything in my home already to make a similar version! They were advertising the distressed wood pillar candle holders shown here, but my eye was taken with the tabletop wreath!

I already had similar candle holders, I made chippy candle holders last year from spindles I cut off an old chair!

This didn't seem like too taxing of a project. I knew I could bring some items I already had in my home together to make this wreath centerpiece quickly and easily!

Here's what I was working with


supplies

You may or may not have what you need for this project at home (if you're not a decor hoarder like me!) so I'm including some Amazon affiliate links below to similar items that I used. If you don't want to purchase greenery, maybe use moss, floral picks, or something else that you already have on hand like decorated Easter eggs! Get creative buddy 😉

Please note that I chose not to use hot glue to attach my greenery because of the long wired branches. You can certainly use hot glue if you wish!

Supplies


Assembling the wreath


I started by unwinding the fake paper garland I had around my grapevine wreath. Since my faux greenery has really long stems, I wrapped the wire stems around the wreath form (see the first picture below), and overlapped the greenery as I made my way around the wreath base. I used 5 stems. 

I cut apart a small boxwood bush I had and inserted pieces into the wreath wherever there were holes or bare spots. This filled the tabletop wreath in perfectly!

Last, I tucked in some eucalyptus stems cut down to size. No hot glue was used, the grapevine wreath branches hold everything in place just perfectly!

How to display a wreath centerpiece


The fun part of any project is styling it in your space! We recently moved some furniture around in our sun room, and the round glass table needed a little something pretty.

I added a couple of my DIY spindle candlesticks to the center of the wreath. I think it looks just like the inspiration picture, don't you? Here are some similar distressed candle holders if you're in the market for some.

I also tried styling the wreath with a glass hurricane with metal accents and I think I like this look best for my space! The low profile suits this room better.

I tucked the spindle candlesticks on my simple cottage style spring mantle. What do you think? Do you prefer the hurricane or the candlesticks in the center of this tabletop wreath?
