A Colourful Fall Wreath

I finally had a little time this weekend to get some Fall decorations up. Canadian Thanksgiving is less than a month away and I want to have everything all spruced up for friends and family coming to visit.

 

The first thing I did was swap out the Summer Wreath, with something warm and colourful for the new season.

 

I love the thought of people being greeted by this whenever they come over.

 

And it’s nice to come home to it too. Using supplies found at a local craft store, I was able to make it all for under $12, with some leftover supplies for future projects.

 

To start out with, I picked up a large dark brown grapevine wreath, wired orange plaid ribbon and faux leaves.

 

Using the ribbon, I made a loop to hang the wreath on the door, knotting it at the top.

 

To make the bow, I took the ribbon and folded it over 4 times, leaving tails on the ends.

 

Using a piece of small wire, I gathered it up in the middle. You could also use a pipe cleaner.

 

To cover up the wire, I took a small piece of ribbon and folded it in thirds.

 

I wrapped the piece around the wire and hot glued it closed at the back of the ribbon. Then I just fluffed up the sides of the bow and glued the whole thing onto the ribbon loop on the wreath.

 

Using the hot glue gun, I stuck an assortment of leaves around the grapevine. I used a popsicle stick to press them down and to make sure I didn’t burn myself.

 

Lastly I hung it up and checked for any holes I wanted to fill in and fluffed up bow.

 

Cost Breakdown:

Wreath $3
Faux Leaves $5.10 ($1.70 x 3 packets)
Ribbon  $ 3.60
TOTAL: $ 11.70

 

It feels much better to have some of the seasonal decor swapped out. I’m looking forward to sharing more Fall decor later this week!
