Drift Wood Wreath

Want to Make a super stylish holiday wreath? All you need is $3 for a straw wreath from Micheal's, a hot glue gun, a bag of drift wood, and some decorative accents- and BOOM you got yourself a natural ring of holiday cheer. Where do you get a bag-o-drift wood, you ask? Try Summerland beach! It's chalk-full of these decorative little gems from mother nature. If you don't live by the beach... considering moving OR try using fallen sticks/twigs from a wooded area. Happy wreath-ing!
