Hardware Store Craft : Whimsical Wreath



We just completed Week 8 at SYTYC, I'm so excited to have gotten this far, to the final two :) The theme for this challenge was "Hardware Store" - this is what I came up with! 

I went to the hardware store knowing I wanted to make a wreath.   This chimney pipe looks amazing painted with all sorts of whimsical wire swirls and "flowers." I think it's so amazing that you can take otherwise harsh, manly objects and turn them into something so feminine and pretty!

My husband helped a bit {he in fact is taking credit for the entire project} which is cute, I couldn't have done it in such a short amount of time without him!

A tutorial will be up very soon, so you can make one for yourself!
