Picture Frame Wreath

I decided to try something a little different for my Christmas wreath this year.  I recycled an old picture frame and turned it into a wreath.   I went monotone with the bronze and gold colors.  I loved the acorns on the corners of the frame but, the area of the frame where the bow is was in need of repair. 

The gold laurel leaves, the tassels, the bow, and ornament hide the frame damage well.   I used things I had to create this frame and didn't buy any supplies.  The ribbon for the bow was bought at a 50% off after Christmas sale last year.   So there you have it, a recycled Christmas wreath.

Sherri, I really love that wreath. I love the color you chose. It would go well in my home this Christmas. I used brown and gold tones and some ivory in my family room and sunroom this year. The tree is decorated in these brown and cream and gold tones as well.
