It is safe to say that with the number of items I make using Pottery Barn as inspiration, they will not be beating down my door with sponsorship offers any time soon.
I got the Pottery Barn winter catalog, or as I like to call it 'pictures of the home that's waiting for me somewhere but I can't find it yet' and saw several items that were so pretty, but so easy to make. I'm a thrifty crafty girl, you know, so I can't pay those Pottery Barn prices and face myself.
I gathered my supplies:
Yes, that's it... a wreath and some Christmas ornaments. Oh, and the Pottery Barn catalog, of course. I got the wreath and ornaments last year on clearance... they were all 90% off which adds up to awesome.
I started by putting sprigs of the wreath through the hoop on the ornament, like so:
I twisted the sprig so the ball would stay in place. I went all the way around until I was happy with the amount of ornaments on the wreath...
And then, for good measure, I hot glued the ornaments to each other so they would stay put.
See? They're staying put.
Then I put it up. It looks great in person and it took no time at all!
I won't tell you what Pottery Barn is selling these for and I won't tell you what these supplies cost... but I can tell you that my version is WAAAAYYYY better. Give it a try!

That's exactly what I was thinking...Gazillion dollars at Pottery Barn!!! Love this.
ReplyDeleteI concur, these gals including myself need to give it try. Awesome job, and I am so happy you shared with the copy cat challenge. You really did a great job.
ReplyDeleteGreat job, it really is pretty. Everyone uses inspiration from PB, but you do such great jobs, and for so much less. PB is so beyond my budget. thanks for putting this pretty within my reach. Thanks so much for sharing at Sunday's Best. Now following you!

Just a pretty at a fraction of the cost.
