steel spoon advent wreath

when i first saw a picture of soup ladles repurposed into candle holders, i was absolutely amazed and i was sure i need to make this myself.

as i could not find any rustic old ones, i had to go to the dollar (euro) store and just bought four big ones, but decided to use only two of them and two smaller ones, which i already had at home.

...my initial intention was to use a fruit crate to display the ladles and the bling bling snowflakes...i tried an arrangement inside the crate and one on the outer wall of the crate...but at the end, i chose the wall...which turned my advent wreath into a wall advent wreath.

you can see there are quite some options and maybe i am going to chance it back and forward a couple of times.

...i did add some pictures of the other arrangements and i hope you will enjoy it...thank you very much for your visit...best regards silke
