Wreath Week: Seed Pods Go Metallic

Lisa thought she’d found acorns on a walk with her family, but she had “never seen anything like them.” She and her girls gathered a stroller full and brought them home. After Lisa turned her “acorns” into a gorgeous metallic wreath, a few sharp-eyed readers at Mabey She Made It identified them as eucalyptus seed pods. Whatever they are, they look amazing on Lisa’s front door!

eucalyptus seed pods Lisa really wanted to showcase the tops of the pods, which “look like flowers, stars, or buttons depending on the one you look at.” She used a hot glue gun to glue them around a flat frame, then gave the whole thing several coats of metallic spray paint. After hanging the frame up with a ribbon, Lisa says, “The contrast between the natural supplies and the chic finish makes me happy.” Botanical discoveries for the win!
