Spruce Up Your Christmas Wreath

DIY Hilltop Farm Wreath

Every year I end up going out and looking at all the amazing wreaths with all the holly and decorations. But I never find one that I love. There's always some aspect of them I wish I could change.

Like two huge fishing tackle boxes full of lures and bobbers. The brand Grandpa swore by, Rapala. Rapala was founded in 1936 by Lauri ...
