terra cotta pot wreath
yes, this project IS a 're-share'!
as i made this wreath for my 2023 'Terra Cotta Christmas' theme,
i did so planning to share it again this spring...
it just captures all the spring 'feels' SO well
and has endless possibilities for embellishment each season -
which is really what homeward found decor is all about.
friends, you don't need a whole new set of decor accents each season!
and you certainly don't need to shop for all new stuff...
and bins to store more and more and more stuff.
make your own decor and create a home you love to live in.

when my Grandma Ward passed, i was given her button box.
to this day just looking at it makes me smile...
so i grabbed them at garage sales and thrift stores
and sometimes even bought some from craft stores.
when i began using the buttons in home decor projects.
one of the projects i undertook was to make button flowers:
it's such an easy project that kids can do it, too.
