It's Mardi Gras After All!

Remember the plastic baggie wreath I started? Well, I ran out and bought Valentine garland to decorate it, and also picked up Mardi Gras garland for some crafts. Then I had the bright idea of making a reversable wreath!! And it would've worked except I didn't think ahead when adding the Mardi Gras garland to the back side.
What I did was snip off the hearts and glue them on with a glue stick here and there through the plastic baggies knotted on. I flipped the wreath over, and I was gonna snip off the tragedy/comedy masks and glue them on. But I thought it looked cuter still attached to the wire, so I stapled it down here and there. So, I was going to hang it on the Valentine side til the day after Valentine's day, then flip it over for the next 10 days til Fat Tuesday, but...all the purple,gold,green was hanging over,lol!Oh, well, you can make a reversable wreath, but keep that in mind!


I'm going to have to go back and fix this. I'll just pull the Mardi Gras wire off and snip off the pieces and glue them on. The other thing was......I forgot about my red door! So if I have a red bow on there, it will disappear into the door. Maybe I can find some red and silver....I don't know, lol! Something will come up.
Check out my old doorknocker I bought at a flea market. What the hell was I thinking...putting it at kid level?? Ha! Did I also mention I put the doorbell at kid height,too???
