" Cleverly Inspired author Tracie Stoll was first introduced to the Kentucky Derby, which takes place each year on the first Saturday in May, when she met her husband more than 25 years ago. She fell in love woth the hats, the horses, the parties, and the parades, so the clever DIYing doyenne paid homage to the springtime race with a a pair of winner-themed wreaths for her front doors. She finished them in a matter of minutes\u2014including spray painting the wooden horses. Want to create something similar? You only need a few store-bought supplies, Tracie&amp;#039;s tips, and away you go.            Easter is over....it&amp;#039;s officially Derby season.... #gobabygo #kyderby #derbywreath #paythelady search derby wreath on the blog to find out how I made this last year;) A photo posted by Tracie (@cleverlyinspired) on Apr 21, 2014 at 7:07am PDT     Here&amp;#039;s how to make your own winner&amp;#039;s circles:  Supplies  -Two wooden horse cut outs. (Tracie bought hers on ebay). She recommends looking for horses that are at least 12 inches wide so you can see them from the road. -Spray paint (Tracie used Krylon Red) -20 silk red roses (buy them in bunches to save money!) -2 20-inch grapevine wreaths -Floral wire  Instructions  1. Spray paint the horse cut outs with two even coats and let dry. 2. Trim each of the roses with wire cutters, leaving yourself enough wire on the end of the rose to wrap around and secure to the grapevine wreath form. 3. Once the horses are dry (should only take 10 minutes), wrap floral wire around each of them and attach them to the bottom of the wreaths.
