As summer is winding down, I find myself wanting to soak up all the sunshine and pretty summer flowers that the season brings. My favourite summer flower is by far the hydrangea, so when I found this fun basket at a thrift store, I knew I had to make this cute hydrangea hanging basket door wreath.

I started out with this black hanging basket I found at a thrift store. I know it’s a little lopsided, but for $1.00, I knew I could make it work.

I picked up some pretty faux hydrangeas and greenery from the dollar store, along with some floral foam.

I started out by stuffing the floral foam into the basket.

Next, I snipped some of the wire using wire cutters and then started layering in some greenery on the sides and the back.

For the last step, added in the hydrangeas and leaves in the middle.

I love how it turned out and I think it’s the perfect late-summer door decor.

I’m totally digging the black and purple tones together.
