I’m still in love with my interchangeable burlap wreath. It just makes switching out seasonal decorations so easy. For summer I left the grass and flowers in from my spring wreath and added pinwheels from Dollar Tree that were 3/$1. They happened to match the ribbon I used in the spring wreath. Click here to see my spring/Easter version and here to see the Valentine’s Day version.
Getting the pinwheels to stick in the wreath was far more difficult than I thought it would be. I thought the stakes would poke through and make the pinwheels stand up. Nope. They broke off instead. I weaved each stake through the grass a little bit and then used straight pins to secure the stakes onto the back of the wreath. Because the wreath is on our front door and gets opened and shut a lot, I’ve had to readjust the pinwheels several times. I’m ok with that. I love the whimsical look of this wreath and the fact that it cost only $1 to switch to a summer version.
Pinwheels, flip flops, Americana, beach flair…

It’s so cool to have a wreath that can be used again and again. I adore that green grass. The pinwheels definately scream summer.

Very creative! Thanks for sharing!
Where do you find that cute grass. I could not find it at Micheals…
Hey Julie! I found it at Hobby Lobby.
Where did you find the pinwheels?
