Mason Jar Band Wreath

After months of anticipating my yearly travel down Interstate 127 for the world's longest yard sale, I could wait no longer. One of this year's "to find" is old mason jar bands after seeing this fantastic wreath back in November featured on FunkyJunk Interiors So I stopped by Big Lots and picked up some bands for this weeks craft.



Hence my very own Mason Jar Band Wreath, but wait..it's in color!




The first thing I did was pick out the colors of spray paint I was going to use and gather up the bands (this really is a simple project, hardly no materials and just a few steps)




I sprayed several coats on the bands leaving some of the brass showing through.

While that was drying I created the base of my wreath from a wire hanger simply by unwinding it and then forming the wire in a circular (well close to a circular) shape. Once the bands are dry, slip them on the wire, twist the ends of the hanger together, tuck in the edges to hide the wire and wallah!






Last, I hung my wreath up for my viewing pleasure, added a bow, and little polka dot here.

And there you have it my friends. I still plan to look for antique bands for a vintage style wreath, but this will satisfy my needs for now.

Stop by these link parties and admire their awesome creations! Have a great weekend!
