After wandering into the danger zone (aka Micheals), I was
inspired and determined! I was going to make a beautiful wreath for fall and
was not going to pay the ridiculous Micheals price for a wreath.
Well, before class one day I went to Dollar Tree (the
cheaper danger zone). I found supplies to make the wreath for a grand total of
five dollars. Oh yeah!
Here’s what I bought…
- An 18” wooden wreath
- A 13” wooden wreath
- Two fall colored flower stems
- A garland of fall colored leaves
What I had/borrowed…
- Brown grosgrain ribbon
- Chelsea’s hot glue gun
First, I set them up how I wanted them on the ground (more
space than the table as I like to make a mess spread out while I craft).
I used the ribbon to hang the smaller wreath inside the larger wreath and used
hot glue gun to secure the ribbon.
After that, I just kind of went for it and started hot
gluing leaves on here and there and EVERYWHERE! Then I cut off the flowers and
some of the beads that came on the same flower stem. I proceeded to glue those
on and it was perfect :)
Our apartment is now totally decorated for fall… but more on
that later!
Until then… HAPPY CRAFTING and HAPPY FALL Y’ALL!

Your wreath is so pretty, I really like the double circles. It makes it unique from a lot of the other wreaths out there. Thanks for another great link at A Crafty Soiree!
