summer "welcome" wreath

it was time to change out the old spring wreath and make a new summer wreath!

i am a bit lazy and cheap so this baby was made with a pair of old pants that have never fit me,

(why do i buy things just because they are on clearance and try to will them into fitting??)

scraps for the flowers,

a banner i made quickly on the computer (yep, too lazy to cut out fabric and iron on letters),

and a wreath bought with a hobby lobby coupon that cost about $2.50

i just cut those pants into strips,

wrapped it around the wreath securing it with a hot glue gun,

glued my banner together and on the wreath

and added those fun pom pom flowers.

i think i might be spending more time on the porch so i can look at it more:)

p.s. do "no soliciting" signs me nothing now a days? i have solicitors ALL the time, usually right when the kids are down for a nap and the dog goes ballistic because a strange person is standing on our doorstep and wont' go away. . . very frustrating. that is all.
