Materials:

• Plain wreath from craft store
  
• Spray paint
  
• Cherry blossoms
  
• Decorative bird house
  
• Nest and eggs
  
• Ribbon or yarn wire
  
• Hot glue
  
• Ralph Lauren glaze
   
  

Instructions:

1. The first thing you’ll want to do is spray paint your wreath. There are so many fun colors… so get creative!
   
   
   
2. Then you’ll grab your cherry blossoms branches and cut them each off. 
   
   
   
3. Next I hot glued the cherry blossoms branches around the wreath.
   
   
   
4. Take a step back and look to see where it needs to be filled in more. You can also pull the individual flowers off and glue them to fill space. You can stop there, add a ribbon and call it quits… or keep going!
   
   
   
5. I found the cutest little wooden bird houses. Snatch up one of these bird houses and paint it however you’d like. I painted mine white and did the trim in lime green. Then I distressed it with the Ralph Lauren glaze. I also added glaze to my little eggs that I painted white.
   
   
   
6. I found these cute little nests. I spray painted my nests lime green and then hot glued them onto my wreath.
   
   
   
7. I wrapped the wreath with the yarn wire and then hung the bird house from it. I did have to screw in a little eyelet screw and tie a little knot around it to hold it in place. And then you are finished!
