Hill to DIY On: Pampas Grass Wreath



 It’s been a while since I have blogged a project! I’m currently working on the master bathroom and I have just a few more finishing touches before I post that. In the meanwhile, here is a super simple DIY that only cost me $10.


Several months ago, one of my friends sent me a picture of a pampas grass wreath one of her friends made for her nursery.


Isn’t that beautiful? I immediately wanted to do that project and then I looked up the price for pampas grass and decided I didn’t want to make it that badly until…

Every Thursday I do what I call “Thrifting Thursday.” I know that’s a tough code to crack, so I go to three different thrift stores every Thursday to find the one last item I need to do a DIY project that has been in the works for years. It’s like a treasure hunt and I love it.

Today, I found this arrangement and got so excited. I immediately thought of that wreath. 

I took it home and organized all the flowers. 


And then I just added the flowers one layer at a time to a styrofoam block already included with the arrangement.

And I hated it. I thought having more of a variety would be great. I loved how it looked as an arrangement, but as a wreath… not so much. 

So I just turned it over. 

So much better. That’s pretty much it. I added flowers in the middle, filled the space with moss and hung it up.

Oh I just love it! Shes dramatic. Her name is Lola.

I almost didn’t make a post about this because there wasn’t a whole lot involved, but I’m pretty proud of how it turned out.

Just hoping my cat doesn’t see it as one giant toy.
