Another Christmas Quick and Easy

 

 
Do you need another quick and easy idea for Christmas ?  If you have a friend who is into dishes of any kind, this would be perfect and so easy!!
 
I bought a greenery wreath at HL (I usually buy these kind of things close to Christmas or after - if they have any left - and store them away for next year's projects!) and fluffed it out. 
 
Then I had this beautiful red transferware plate that says "Fountain Scenery" on the back.  I used one of the regular wire plate holders and put on the plate.  I took a light weight wire and wired it to the heavy wire frame of the wreath and just criss-crossed it across the back of the plate.  I attached it in several places where the plate hanger was on the back.
 
I added a red wired ribbon bow to the side and Presto - it's done.  Who wouldn't want to receive this as a gift?  Especially if it has a plate that is special to them.
 
Enjoy!!
 
Till next time, Judy

  7. What a clever way to display a Christmas wreath and a pretty plate. And you could switch the plate out anytime. Love your blog Judy!

  8. Love it! I have a collection of red transferware known as Memory Lane. I did a post about it awhile ago. I am keeping this project on my "to do" list!
