With March behind us, it\u2019s safe to say Spring is finally in full bloom. One of the best parts about lake living in the Spring is the florals and greenery, making Spring the perfect time to get crafty. If you like DIYs or art projects, or if you love the lake lifestyle, this one is for you! Keep reading to learn how to craft the perfect foraged wreath for your lake home.<\/p>\n

A foraged wreath screams Spring. Not only do you get to add your personal flare to your home with goods and materials collected right from your yard, garden, or shoreline, but it\u2019s also a great way to spend more time with nature. Being outside and being in nature are known to aid in stress relief and mindfulness. Luckily, because you live on the lake, there\u2019s plenty to do and find outside! That includes foraging. Making a foraged wreath is a good way to reuse and recycle goods in a unique, trendy way. This can be great to take on as a solo project and even better to involve your friends and family! With the world as your oyster, try to think outside the box and create something you never thought you would.<\/p>\n\n\n

One of the many benefits of lakeside living includes easy access to foraged goods and materials. Materials like pinecones, flowers, stems, dried fruits or vegetables, or even leaves and roots can all be used to spruce up your home. When starting your project, it\u2019s best to go into it with a different perspective. Try finding materials to find beauty in that you wouldn\u2019t necessarily reach for. Or, you could try something totally new by upscaling materials. A few inspirations to draw from include pinecone flowers and dried fruit garlands. These can be quick and easy while adding fragrance to your home as well as bringing an interesting style element to your piece.<\/p>\n\n\n

The trickiest part of this DIY is the assembly process and even that is easy! Before you start, you will need to ensure that you have a wire frame, gardening clippers or scissors, green wire, or something else to tie the foraged materials to the frame, and last but not least, you will need your foraged materials! If wanted, glue could suffice for the wire, though the wire will ensure a tighter hold and allow for a longer wreath life.<\/p>\n

As said, assembly is quite easy. Follow these three simple steps for a successful foraged wreath!<\/p>\n
