I hope you enjoyed the floral wreath tutorial from last week. I'm back with another pretty wreath tutorial... This time we are mixing a simple combination of ribbon and berries. I am recycling one of my favorite Christmas ribbons from last year. Feel free to use whatever materials you have on hand. I have also linked a list of materials below.



You will need floral wire, wire cutter scissors, hot glue gun, plaid Christmas ribbon, green wreath, faux berry sprigs, metal wreath hanger.

To see all of the easy steps to make this wreath, be sure to watch my video.




I hope you enjoy today's video!

�For women who yearn to channel Audrey Tautou�but don�t have a year to spend apprenticing with one in Paris� (The New York Times), Jennifer L. Scott�s Madame Chic books�Lessons from Madame Chic, At Home with Madame Chic, and Polish Your Poise with Madame Chic�now collected in one beautiful package.

As an American student living abroad, Jennifer L. Scott found a Parisian mentor in her host mother, Madame Chic, who instructed her in the fine art of living. Now, Jennifer shares her lessons in her Madame Chic series: Lessons from Madame Chic, At Home with Madame Chic, and Polish Your Poise with Madame Chic. Based on what she learned from Madame Chic, Jennifer explains how to cultivate old-fashioned sophistication while living an active, modern life, teaching us to take pleasure in everyday routines, to dress presentably, perform household tasks with cheer, and how to conduct oneself both in public and in private.

The Madame Chic series encourages and inspires you to live simply and passionately, no matter your age, background, or location. Like Madame Chic, everyone deserves a little Parisian je ne sais quoi.

...also Magnifique Brunette reviews the Madame Chic books on her blog.

Question of the Week
Mariana writes, "Hi Jennifer, for 2018 I plan to set myself the resolution "Embrace Domesticity." I am a working mom, and my house is usually dirty, though uncluttered. Can you do a video on your cleaning schedule? Do you clean in small increments, like 15 minutes/day or all day on the weekend? If you do a little every day, can you show us what that looks like: Monday: bathrooms, Tuesday: Kitchen, etc... Thanks! Mariana"

Hi Mariana, thank you for the video requests. I do plan to discuss my changing cleaning routine in the new year. Stay tuned!

I hope you enjoy today's wreath tutorial. If you are inspired to make any wreaths, share them with me on social media by using one of the following hashtags: #dailyconnoisseur #MADAMECHIC #jenniferlscott

See you on Thursday for a special holiday tea recipe and on Friday for a bonus video.

DIY Floral Christmas Wreath

Join me today as I decorate a floral Christmas wreath. I love doing crafts this time of year and wreath making has always been a hobby I have enjoyed. I've been making wreaths since I was a little girl. My parents still display the ones I have made in their home so they definitely have lasting power! I hope you enjoy watching the tutorial in today's video.



I purchased everything from a local craft store, but for your convenience I have listed all of the supplies below to the best of my ability. If you don't plan to make a wreath this holiday season, a good idea would be to wait until the after Christmas sales to get your faux florals at a heavy discount. I reuse a lot of my crafts supplies every year, making this process very affordable for me.

You will need floral wire, wire cutting scissors, hot glue gun, poinsettia flowers, magnolia flowers, plaid Christmas ribbon, grapevine wreath, faux berry sprigs, pine cone sprigs, frosted pine cone (an alternative option).

Midori_Bujo's notes on Lessons from Madame Chic. Her French husband was surprised how well the Madame Chic books truly capture French living.

BOOK: Lessons From Madame Chic by Jennifer L. Scott | my French husband was surprised at how well the author truly captured the French way of living life with passion, poise, and confidence. It inspired me to take notes and pay more attention to how I dress at home. Rather than be in "comfort clothes" ( jeans/yoga pants and t-shirts) since I work full time at home, I'm wearing nice, flowy tops, with my jeans and (to my daughters joy) incorportated skirts and casual dresses into my wardrobe. I realized, putting thought into what I wear, even if I don't see many people, makes me feel more confident and well, beautiful and my husband and daughters thanked this book for flipping that switch in me. I highly recommend reading this book. #bookrecommendation #jenniferlscott #madamechic #FrenchLiving #bulletjournalcommunity #bulletjournal #bulletjournaljunkies #bujoinspire #bujoidea #Leuchtturm1917

Comment of the Week
I received such great advice regarding onion chopping from Monday's freezer meals video. Many people suggested refrigerating the onions, some suggested dunking them in water, others suggest special onion goggles. The most voted up comment came from Janna G, who wrote: To not cry when cutting onions, put the onion in the freezer for half an hour, works great.

Thank you, Janna! I will try this technique out and report back!

I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial. Let me know if you like to make wreaths and what your method is. Your comment could be chosen as comment of the week on the blog. Be sure to check back on the blog tomorrow for a special holiday styling guide from Halsbrook. See you then!
