craft store for an 18 inch grapevine wreath, some cherry blossoms stems (I ended up needing 6) and some floral wire.\u00a0 Surprisingly, the blossoms were 50% off and I had a 40% off coupon for the wreath (I also remembered I had floral wire at home from another project, whoohoo!).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-323\"
