Crafting A Fall Wreath


Have you entered to win the Rustic Cupcake Stand? Contest is open until 10/26!



Last night my husband treated me to dinner out and afterwards we had to stop at a "big store" to buy some trash bags. While we were walking down an isle, I saw this really pretty bunch of silf flowers that had grasses, pinecones and cattails in it. Immediately, thoughts of crafting a fall wreath based off of some I had seen on Pinterest popped into my head.

I tied brown tulle all over my wreath form and then picked apart my floral arrangement so I had individual pieces. I then hot glued the longest, largest things down where I thought they looked nice. I just filled in here and there with leaves, flowers, and tiny tufts of tulle wherever I needed a little "something".

I LOVE how this turned out, and I already have a really cute idea in mind for a Christmas wreath. This was a super cheap craft, less than $5.00 total. I had the wreath and tulle already, so that would make it a little more but still very cheap. Plus, it should last forever if you pack it up and keep it somewhere safe.

Here are some close up pictures to help you see the pretty bits a little better.


 Leaves, pinecones, feathers, grasses, flowers and cattails make up this portion...



Just leaves, grass and a cattail here.



Take an hour and craft a lovely wreath for your home soon. It was so much fun and look at how nice it turned out!
