Whitney's Walnut Wreath Tutorial

Hey guys!! Thanks to all of you who are linking up at the Rust-Oleum Revamp party.  You still have today to get those projects linked up and we will be announcing a winner soon.  You can click HERE or scroll down a bit to enter your project and check out all of the other great revamps.  In the meantime... Let's go NUTS!  We recently told you about a spotlight we were asked to do for the Gorilla Glue company HERE.  We loved our wreath hangers and had to adorn them with cute wreaths as well.  I went with a nut and pinecone wreath and this is how I did it...

I started by getting the supplies.  I purchased a grapevine wreath at Hobby Lobby for super cheap.  These can be found at almost any craft or floral store.

I also bought a bag of hazelnuts and 4 lbs of walnuts in the shells at the grocery store.  These too were super cheap:)  I also bought a bag of tiny pine cones from Hobby Lobby.  They were in the Christmas craft section.

My weapon of choice on this one was the hot glue gun.  I started by randomly gluing the walnuts around the wreath.  I used a grapevine wreath rather than a styrofoam one because I knew I could leave the sides showing which saved me money and I like the look better myself.

Once I had most of the wreath covered in walnuts I began space filling with my hazlenuts and pine cones.   Any space that was left between the walnuts was filled with either hazelnuts or pinecones. A look from the side...

My final step was to hang this baby up and take lots of pictures! Woohoo!! What do you think... Have I gone nuts??!  Hope you like it... Remember! It's not too late to link up those projects for the RR party.  Have a great Tuesday!!  I will be adding my nutty wreath to the Shanty Shoppe over on Etsy... Go check it out HERE!
