Martha Stewart Inspired Wreath

Last holiday season Martha Stewart had her holiday issue of her magazine with a wonderful wreath that was decorated with putz houses. It was super.

I had a customer ask me last holiday season about doing a similar special order of one, but with a Magpie Ethel touch to it.  I was excited about this project and spent some time this past year gathering things that I knew would work for the wreath.  I finally got it crafted a bit ago.

I really like the way it turned out. People on IG also loved it and showered my photo of it with "likes".

My customer wanted spun head snowman as a feature. I was fine with that.

I really love the colors and I had to include some of my reflector flowers that I enjoy so much for a little sparkle.

What a fun project. 
The wreath is on its way to a new home.  Definitely a craft challenge that I enjoyed so. I might need to make another!

I know I already commented on IG but I could not pass up another opportunity to tell you how truly spectacular this wreath is. It is so creative and filled with vintage treasures. Your attention to detail is incredible and the snowmen theme delights! I hope to make a wreath like this someday. I hope you won"t mind being the inspiration. I continue to be in awe of your many talents and am so glad to know you. You are the source of much joy, many smiles and daily inspiration. Thank you Magpie Ethel! You are a gem!

Well you can't top a wreath of Putz and snowmen, especially in August! That's a zillion bucks worth of cute right there!

Absolutely stunning!
I bought this magazine thinking I would make one of those too. Actually someone on IG told me about it too but I already had the magazine. Love your Magpie Ethel touch on it....makes it unique to you.
I'm hoping to make one this year...Ha ha ha ha ha!
Thanks for sharing :-)

I've started tucking away putz houses to make wreath too. I've always joked about being a "magpie" groupie, but you know you have a HUGE following. Your attention to detail is incredible and that's what keeps me buying special Magpie creations over and over. I absolutely love this wreath!
