Took a little breather from this project to make one of my favourite-most things: a wreath.
Here’s how I did it!
This wreath is made of one small cereal box cut up into twine like I’ve shown you here, wrapped around a large mason jar many times until you have a mittful…
Then slipped off the mason jar and twisted in and out and wrapped and twisted in and out and wrapped around itself until you have a slightly-bigger-than-donut-sized-wreath…
When done, I gave it a light covering of daffodil yellow paint, and topped it off with a sweet bow.
It will do quite nicely for Easter or the whole of spring even, wouldn’t you say?
I will make a place for it in The Wreath Blog collection very soon too, can’t forget.
You have a lovely day now. I’m off to chat with my seedlings, weeeee! More on them later…

J'aime beaucoup l'idée de faire une création à partir de récupération.
Cette réalisation est vraiment très printanière !!!
Bravo

Merci Nadia!
Almost looks like raffia or something in that vein – only much cheaper and recycled! Great job!!
You're right about the raffia (and the cheapness). 🙂
Thanks Melissa!
This looks cute – I will give it a try on the weekend …. and what a good idea to give it a little paint:)
just a light coat did the trick, thanks Monika!
So sweet! I love the light yellow coat of paint – it's almost weird how that gives it the look of a natural material. Very counterintuitive, very cool.
yeah you're right it does kinda look natural… 🙂
I love this. It would be the perfect little thing for gifting some sweet friends in need of a little spring sunshine. Thanks to you I have been gathering boxes and other recycleables for adventures in crafting, so I'm all set for this one. 🙂

glad to hear i'm having some influence… i hope that's a good thing. 😉
Cute as a button!!
Thanks Maya!
Found materials… who knew they could look so good? You are a recycling genius! Atta Girl!
Hugs!!
Aw you're so sweet Terri, thank you!
So so fun. I love the texture. Today we folded up some newspaper pots and started making our seed tapes!
That's so awesome to hear Chris, yay!!!!
Oh, cereal boxes… better than the stuff inside them. I love it.
Though admittedly, I'm somewhat in love with the stuff inside them too. 🙂
as I can see Spring is in the air and in your heart, too!!!

Oh I hope so… But it's cold again today, so who knows!!!
Adorable, Michele! I never would have thought to spray paint it.
that was a last minute decision but in this case it worked, I think. Thanks Gwen!
you are a recycling genius! Love this sweet wreath!
You're very kind Nicolette. I like the wee wreath too. 🙂
How very clever! I like this simple wreath idea!
Michele! I love this quick and easy craft! What a way to use recycable cereal boxes to create a project that only YOU know was made from the cereal boxes! I will have to try this out with my son and what cute little gifts they would make for any occassion and holiday!
