I purchased to grapevine wreaths/circles/thingamajigies. I really meant to remember the sizes but I didn't so what you have to do is get one that is reg. price $4.99 and one that's $3.99 (sorry)
Then you get some floral wire so you can attach the two. I only dd this because I wanted the wreath to be a little thicker
Then you gather your foliage. I used a leaf bush some grassy flowers, some pumpkins, and some berries
This step consisted of me arranging the foliage before hot gluing them on the grapevine. I really suggest not skipping this step!
Once you figure out how your leaves and such will work then your going to basically glue them the exact way that you have them arranged. Some stems (like the pumpkins) don't require any glue because they can simply be "stuck" into the grapevine.
I really wish my pictures wouldn't have come out so ORANGE on the screen. The leaves are different shades like yellow, green, orange, and a deep reddish color. Trust me, my wreath is NOT one color! I feel like it's missing something- pine cones,gourds...
So what do you think? Please be easy on me. This is my first DIY wreath!
I'm sharing this project with Funky Junk Interiors and the DIY show off and Kimba's DIY day at A Soft Place to Land

I love your wreath! Great job! I make lots of floral arrangements and wreaths, but never think to tie two wreaths together. I will be doing that for Christmas!

Great idea to combine the two wreaths, it looks wonderful. Can't wait to see it hung on your newly painted front door!

Thats good girl. My skills are not good with that because I never tried. i dont know..the christmas tree is as good as I get...
Such a pretty wreath. With Thanksgiving now over here in Canada, all fall decor is hugely discounted. Time to pick up some fall loveliness and try this project. Thanks for sharing.
This wreath looks great!!!
@cheapchichome. I am really dragging my feet on fall decorating, too. This is so pretty! Thanks for the "push"!
Great job!! And a fraction of the cost of an u.g.l.y store bought one!! lol
Natalie,
Looks fantastic!!! Love your playlist, too! :) Hope you can check out my blog soon, the first of the many interior shots of the house now that I'm having better luck with my camera. The first of the series is up now!
You are a busy girl! Everything you do turns out so well. This is a super pretty wreath!
Would never know it's your first! It turned out so pretty! Hope you're having a good weekend...

Very nice job on the wreath. I have been very lazy and cheap about fall decor this year. I really am waiting for Christmas, then I'll get going! I love the simone pillow cover on your side bar. Gorgeous print!
Very pretty, the wreath says Fall in such a nice way, great on a door or as a candle ring for a fall centerpiece. You did a good job for a first DIY.

It's a lovely wreath! Much better than I could have done.
The wreath is beautiful. What a great idea. Thanks for sharing.
Will you be selling your wreaths? How much do you charge to make others?
I think your wreath turned out fabulous. I like it just the way it is.
Your wreath is gorgeous!
I think it's lovely! Great job! It looks very similar to the one I am planning to put up on my door after Halloween is over.
You did such a great job. I wouldn't have known it was your first. I like how you put the 2 wreaths together for your base.
I think its gorgeous! I'm totally inspired now!! :) How much do you estimate you spent, total?? I love it when I'm able to make something that looks like it could be sold for $60, and end up spending only $15 :)
It's beautiful! Great job!
I think it looks beautiful! Looks like you paid a lot of money for it. Thanks for sharing!!
This is GREAT! I'm going to put this on my FB page! Awesome.
