Hydrangea Wreath

I love hydrangeas and am always excited to see them blooming in my yard and elsewhere.  While looking through a spring issue of Frontgate I came across a beautiful picture of a hydrangea door wreath.  So pretty but at $299., I could only look and admire.

However, the crafter in me was calling so softly to try making one .  .  .

I gathered the flowers and a wire form wreath .  .   .

 

and came up with this .  .   .

 

 

 

 

close, but not perfect. 

You might be saying what happened to the green tulips in the materials picture?  I tried them out but didn't like the bright green look and I couldn't find any deep pink tulips.   And I used fabric paint on the solid green hydrangeas to tone them down a bit. 

I love the look, but wish I had a fabulous wooden door like the one pictured to hang it on.

 

But this will have to do!

 

And here's a few of my garden hydrangeas that inspired me  .   .    .  

 

Oops  .  .  .  had to show my beautiful calla lily!
