Candy Corn Wreath (an upcycle)

One thing I've learned since starting my blog is this...

Everything is a possible craft. I think twice before throwing even the ugliest of uglies away.

Exhibit A:

I see the potential in things, which makes me an optimist.

Jeremy, are you reading this? I know you see my growing mound of future projects in the garage and you fear that I may need to seek professional aid. 

But I don't, because look! The pile is dwindling down!

    Ha ha! I know what you mean! Love the wreath. I can't ever get rid of things for fear of what it could have become!

    How cute! I love it. Amazing what a little paint can do :) I also love your front door. May I ask what color it is?

    Hahahahaha. When you said the first thing and BAM, the pic of that wreath. Woo-ee! Nice save. Brilliantly done, it's a cute wreath. My Mom is a spray paint fanatic and when she was up visiting nothing was safe. I've learned to embrace the spray paint, especially with inspiration like this cutie! Stopping by from Sugar Bee.

    That is such an unusual idea. I love the colors of candy corn, but I never would have thought of painting a wreath those colors - and the flowers on it! Very creative of you.

    such a great idea! I never would have thought of just spray painting the entire wreath
