Straw Hat Spring Wreath

Spring arrives, and with it comes the burst of energy to refresh our spaces, starting with the front door.  Which usually means a new wreath – or does it?  As much as I love making a new wreath each year for Spring, there have been times when I broke the mold and created something new and fresh for my front door instead—for example, the year when I made a fun display using a straw hat.

For several years, the surgeon my husband worked for would throw himself a themed birthday party in January. 

Every year without fail, he would set the theme and encourage his friends and employees to attend in whatever costume creation he dictated that year.  And it was a lot of fun. 

One year, in the middle of a snowstorm, we traveled to his house in Hawaiian tops, shorts, flip-flops, straw hats, and sunscreen, just to enjoy the night. 

Afterwards, I ended up with these items thrown in a closet without a need or a purpose. 

This project was born from trying to find a way to reuse the items we purchased at Party City in January for a Hawaiian-themed party. With these items, I decided to make a Straw Hat Spring Wreath.

I needed a new wreath for Spring anyway, so why not use what I already have without another trip to the store for supplies?

• Gardening-themed straw hat wreath complete with gardening gloves, seed packets, and miniature tools.
• Farming-themed straw hat wreath with miniature toy cows and pigs, miniature bales of hay, and burlap ribbons.
• Rustic Farmhouse style straw hat wreath with cotton stems, a small themed sign, and ticking striped ribbon.
• A beach-themed straw hat wreath with flip flops, sunglasses, and a bottle of sunscreen.
• A travel-themed straw hat wreath with photos from a trip, a small camera, and tickets from trip events in a sunny location where you would need to wear a straw hat.  Think Hawaiian, of course, for this wreath.

I know I didn’t share the step-by-step DIY process in this post, but this idea is so simple to replicate just by looking at the pictures that I figured most crafters could use the idea for inspiration more than the DIY. Something as simple as an inexpensive straw hat from a party store can lead to several new variations for decorating your front door this spring.
