One of the greatest things about Blogland is the sharing of all sorts of fabulous ideas. We get to see so much creativity on a daily basis and incorporate it into our own lives. A while back I saw a wreath over at Bungalow. Debra made the cutest wreath using a pair of crocs. Since I was in need of a new front door wreath this year, I thought I’d give it a whirl. So here is my take on the croc wreath.
I poked holes in the bottom of the shoes to wire them together. Since this wreath was being used outside, I wanted to make sure I used strong materials to keep it together. I used one of the wire stems I cut from the flowers and wired the shoes.
Gotta love photo editors. Pretty as a picture!

First I started with a grapevine wreath, some ribbon, some burlap, assorted flowers, wire, glue gun and of course a small pair of crocs.
I wanted a very outdoor/rustic look, so I wrapped burlap around the grapevine wreath and tied it at the bottom.

From there I used floral wire to secure the shoes to the wreath.
Once the crocs are on secure, arrange your flowers any which way you like then hang it anywhere you like!

My neighbors TOTALLY caught me staring at my front door entirely too often tonight.

How pretty and a great idea. My grands have 3 pair of crocs in the yard sale stuff we are having in a couple of weeks. I am going right now and dig them out. What I would give to have a screen door like yours, just beautiful. Thanks for sharing, Vicky
