Thrift Store Boxwood Wreath Upcycle: The 15 Minute Fix

Happy Wednesday Friends! Today I have a thrifty little upcycle to share and yes...it can be done in 15 minutes!

I found this realistic looking faux boxwood wreath at one of the thrift stores I frequent for $3--not bad considering it still had the original tag for $55! Overall, it was in pretty good condition...

...but it did have a few bare spots. Here and

here, but easy enough to fix.

I just cut a few extra sprigs from some of the longer pieces of greenery.

and hot glued them in the bare spots. {6 minutes.}

No more bare spots!

I wanted to keep the look of classic boxwood with all of its greenery but also add just a touch of color.  By shopping my home, I came up with these pretty silk flowers.  

The stems were sturdy enough that I was able to tuck the blooms into the wreath without gluing. I alternated colors, working my way around the wreath but keeping it simple. {8 minutes.}

I love the square shape and chose to hang it diagonally.  It adds a fresh touch of color for late summer, but will also transition nicely into fall, when I typically add yellow mums.
