M&M Wreath

This morning, I printed of this free printable over at Toddler Approved, got out the M&M's and let Caden go to town.



Yes, we did this in the morning and yes, he still has his PJ's on.  In my defense, it's pajama day at preschool so we're all good.



You let your kid eat chocolate at 9:30 in the morning?  Right?!

How to Pick the Right Sized Wreath

Remember Deb's wreath she showed us how to make?  Isn't it just gorgeous?

I get questions from time to time about choosing the right sized wreath.  Many people aren't sure what size wreath would work well for their door.

When choosing a correctly sized wreath it's all about proportion.  Look for a wreath that takes up about 2/3 of your space.  If your door is 36" wide, then look for a wreath that's 24" in diameter.  If it's a 30" door, find a wreath that's 20" in diameter.  Use the same math for hanging a wreath above a fireplace too!

*Designer Tip:  Think of unconventional places to use wreaths.  I usually have one hanging on my pantry door in the kitchen.  Try a linen closet door, or even a bedroom door.  If you're using them for a decoration inside, play with the scale a little bit.  I love this miniature DIY wreath from Women's Day or the Feather Wreath from Martha Stewart.
