Both of those are wonderful! Now I am in a flamingo frenzy to get to my Dollar Tree and get some of those little guys. Thanks for the ideas!!

[@karencarter9038]

We use the Flamingos as part of recognition. In Arkansas we have an organization called the CALL(Children of Arkansas Loved for a Lifetime). We work with churches and social services to train & assist foster or adoptive parents. We also assist families with needs they may have to get their children back into their home such as furniture & appliances. Right now we place flamingos in yards of churches, businesses, and donors who help support the CALL. There are many ways to volunteer & our ximmunitues have been great. The goal is to have the CALL in all 75 counties & we are striving to reach our goal. Flock to Foster Care. Love your ideas.

I never thought I would see a flamingo decoration and say "I really like that!" You have proven me wrong this is adorable and I love it!

[@rosylee5683]

Same here as they've gotten a bad rap over the years but they always sold! Now this is pretty and unique and very festive and tropical. 🍹

[@alioreo2451]

Wasn't too sure when I first saw you buying the flamingos but you proved me wrong. That looks fantastic. Great job and thank you for sharing.

[@sportkat97]

That turned out really pretty! Thanks for the idea!

[@ghggp1]

Good job! So creative! Painting the beaks black really made a difference and I love that change. Such a festive wreath. Bravo!!!

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

What a great idea! I love flamingos for the summer and peacocks for the rest of the year! This would be great to dress up the door to my room. Guess it’s back to Dollar Tree! Thank you for the idea!

[@joyceannjackson4796]

With some paints and feathers you could make a peacock using the flamingos. You can get peacock feathers at craft stores.

[@pinkgirlsuzi]

Really cute but I would have added white or nother color to cover the wreath so the flamingos and flowers would stand out better. But I do love the idea!

[@wetspotswimwear1199]

Agree, too much pink. White, Teal, baby blue....

[@marleysankor]

@@wetspotswimwear1199 Agree. Anytime I want to make something stand out or pop, I really like to add the "opposite color" on the color wheel. This is adorable though! 💞

[@marleysankor]

@musicgirlsuz, Yes! She can always go back in and add a lil white paint to the flamingo feathers & white leis peeking out under them. That would be easy. Finally, an awesome wreath that doesn't break the bank to make!

[@sheilagravely5621]

Yes, just the wreath with the leis is beautiful!

[@cjhoward409]

A pool blue would’ve been pretty to cover the wreath because her door is white. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@luannsmith5309]

it needs some small white battery lights for the top to show it off in the evenings..so cute!!

[@wavyliketheocean3486]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@yvonnerobertson9522]

Love Flamingo 💘. This is an excellent DIY tutorial 😀. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@treasuresbyivyjade]

That’s very cute, I would have used a different color in the wreath

[@dianaherrera5345]

Oh this would be lovely with the heart-shaped wreath form for Valentine's day 😍

[@annettespencer9550]

Your wreath is beautiful! I love flamingos!

[@Alextodd007]

Hello Annette

[@susangriffin-byrne8393]

This wreath is beautiful! I never would have thought all those pinks would look so good together! It was the first flamingol wreath.

Very nice! Never thought of using flamingos in a wreath! Pretty 😎 cool!

How ADORABLE!!! Going to look absolutely fabulous around the pool this summer!! 🌺🌴

[@bobbiduval7961]

That flamingo wreath was beautiful! first Dollar tree project I've seen that really really looked nice and was reasonable and doable and not turning out to be a $50 ordeal or cheesy looking. fabulous fabulous fabulous I wish I had that pic machine I remember using it at the first flower shop I worked at and they are amazing! Where did you get it?

[@maryfolks9368]

Super cute the first one is my favorite 😍

[@naubaucat]

That is so beautiful!! Thank you for the idea.

[@louiZiana-Gurl]

I love my dollar store flamingo that I’ve had for a few years...never thought of using her in a wreath great idea! The flowers really made it pop!🥰

[@debbievanhorn6205]

Absolutely loved the pink flamingo wreath w/hibiscus!

[@marleysankor]

Absolutely Gorgeous!! 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞 Tip>> "before" you put hot glue "around the wire" that goes into the flamingo, put some hot glue "on the tip of it, "first".... place the wire in the little hole, hold in place for a few seconds so it can bond. "That" will really help "anchor" the wire "inside" the flamingo then, go ahead & add more hot glue "around" it for extra security. I know where I'm heading tomorrow and what I'm making tomorrow night! Thanks doll~💞``💞💞💞💞

[@thethrifteddragon8157]

[@TammieAbusedNotBrokenRecovered]

Omg I'm obsessed with the first one, before flamingos with just the pink flower leis on 😳🤯🤯🤯🤩🤩 SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[@TammieAbusedNotBrokenRecovered]

TBH I loved it before flamingos but it was still ok after they were added but after adding all those other flowers in the end I think it was just too much!! 😳🤦🏼‍♀️ Just my personal opinion.

[@lindamitchell6152]

Beautiful. I love it.

[@jjillybob]

Love the flamingoes but the other additions really make the wreath even more tropical - where did you get the plumeria and hibiscus flowers? After living on Guam these quickly became my favorite flowers.

[@GoodlyEarth]

I am going to the Dollar Tree and buying all of their pink flamingos!!!!

[@shelikesdiamonds]

Gaahh! I love this! I'm not a craft person. I like just watching people create things. This flamingo thing though... I've loved flamingos since I was a kid, so I could see myself actually making this, if I could find all the bits and bobs.
