Again, it’s no secret that I have a little thing for wreaths. So when I just happened upon a nice little pile of bushel lids, I knew exactly what I was going to do with them. And I love how this Rustic Sunflower Bushel Lid Wreath turned out.
Looks good right?

So, I have been getting my ‘art’ on lately, and it’s probably because of the season. I love winter, I love spring, and I love summer. But there is something about Autumn that just totally wins me over. I don’t know if it’s the colours, the temperatures, the feeling of change in the air, or what. But I find fall to be the most inspiring. I still love looking at my World Where There Are Octobers wall art, and I am forcing myself to be satisfied with the summer we had, and move forward with all the autumn has to offer.
Part of our summer fun, however, did include a trip to our dear Friend’s Apple Orchard where I managed to walk away with a pile of bushel lids… What can I say? My friends KNOW me.
So, here’s what I used:
- bushel lid
- Tempra paint
- paint brush
- paper plate ( for the paint palette)
- newspaper / old shirt / fitted sheet for the table drop cloth
And here’s how I created the Rustic Sunflower Bushel Lid Wreath

- Assemble materials and create a work space. Essentially I place a twin size fitted sheet over the kitchen table and voila!
- decide which side of the lid to paint – and lightly brush the dirt off.
- Paint. I started with the center of the flower – and I didn’t have any brown so I used green because I’m all resourceful like that.
- Then I added a row of yellow petals and then filled in a back row of orange petals
- And brought it outside to dry, which didn’t take very long.
And now I just need to decide where to display it.
