Gold Leaf Magnolia Wreath

November 6, 2020~ Christmas, wreath

This summer I gave you the TGIF series, but this holiday season I’m giving you wreaths galore!  I’ve got 4 wreaths planned between now and early December – so one a week. I’m kicking things off with something I’ve wanted to do for a while – a gold leaf magnolia wreath. I spotted a laurel style wreath on Pinterest last Christmas and fell in love with it. This year I knew I needed it in my home, so I made one to hang in the bedroom.

As you can see Christmas is starting to roll in. I’m adding small touches room by room, I don’t want it to be overwhelming, but I’m also not going to be here for most of December, so I want to enjoy it a little bit.

These little sisal trees have become my favourite decor item for Christmas and it’s easy to see why – they’re colourful, glam, and blend right in with the rest of my decor.

Materials for a Gold Leaf Magnolia Wreath

  • Metallic Gold Magnolia Leaf Sprig 30″
  • Embroidery Hoop
  • Floral Wire
  • Tin Snips
  • Velvet Ribbon

Gold Leaf Magnolia Wreath

Step 1: Start by removing the magnolia leaves from the springs. Try and keep the wire tail on them so that it can help bind them to the wreath.

Step 2: Lay-out the leaves in the shape of a laurel so that you can see how you’ll assemble it. It decided to gradate the size of the leaves

Step 3: Using your floral write, start attaching the leaves to the hoop in a symmetrical pattern. I did one leaf on each side before moving up a rung in the pattern.

Step 4: Keep going until you hit the top of the hoop. At that point, you should be using the leaves to tip the design upwards. It’s part of getting the laurel look.

For those last leaves at the top I actually stapled them to the leaves behind them so that they would keep their angle.

Step 5: Add a little velvet bow to cove the stems and wire from the first leaves. You can do any kind of bow or loop, but I like the good ole’ fashioned kentucky ribbon.

Now that you’ve got your wreath – which really isn’t that complicated, it’s time to hang it and style it on your home!

I chose to place the Gold Leaf Magnolia Wreath in the bedroom because I think it’s discreet enough to not overtake the bedroom (which is usually an a-seasonal space), but still bring some cheer.

I am also totally jonesing over my little dog figurine with a feather wreath collar. I mean, how cute is that?!

I am this week’s feature on the @littleyellowcou I am this week’s feature on the @littleyellowcouch podcast and I gotta say - FAN 👏🏻 GIRL 👏🏻 MOMENT. I had been listening since there were 2 hosts, and really got into it when I went full time with the blog during our first year posted to Gagetown. I found my colourful voice, and started making things like this beautiful glossy blue sideboard. 
There wasn’t really anyone else doing “colour” my way in the decor space at that time (everything was white farmhouse). And while there are definitely many more who do it now (and who do it better!), I’ll never forget the freedom I felt when no one was watching what I did. It has been so incredibly bittersweet watching new accounts lap me in a matter of months (and oh so humbling), but I like to think I’m exactly where I need to be. 
My growth has been slow by today’s standards, and I’m ok with it. I still get to do what I love. 
So, if you’ve been following me since then, the very beginning, or last week - stick around! Let’s see what the next stage is like.

JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, especially now that all the Christmas decor is gone. Bear in mind, this is what it looks like before a child has actually had a chance to play in it 😂

I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerles I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerless these days, but @laybabylay made a great point in her stories the other day: you can always do something nice. You can buy the order of the person in line behind you at the drivethru. You can donate to charitable organizations doing things you believe in. You can make a meal for your neighbour who might be having a hard time with lockdown. It’s amazing how much better I feel when I do something nice, and I bet you will too ❤️

“Life is what happens when you’re busy making “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans” - John Lennon. 😎 As a family who moves a lot, we’re ready for a new chapter/ new house, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to leave all the memories! We brought June home here 😭 she learned to walk here, and said her first words here. I wonder what other “firsts” she’ll have before we move. [pictured, June in a messy kitchen last year]
