DIY FALL WREATH….A Tutorial!

Last year I took it upon myself to make a Fall wreath for my front door. And I know many of you may be trying to do the same so I’m reposting the tutorial just in case you missed it!

I started with two grapevine wreaths. I used two because I wanted my wreath to be full.

I went to Hobby Lobby and found all of my foliage and pumpkins. Everything was around $25 and if you’ve ever purchased a pre-made wreath, you know that that’s a deal! Also, Hobby Lobby has things 50% off a lot, so there is no doubt you’ll get a good deal. And there is always the Dollar Tree for good deals too!

Using my trusty glue gun, I glued the leaves and pumpkins to the two wreaths until they were covered and I was happy! With this project, a low temp glue gun would have been ideal. I did this project late in the evening and had on a night gown and I burned my leg very bad with the glue:-(

I didn’t have the chance to hang my wreath because as soon as my sister in law saw it on my blog, she purchased it from me!

I will be making another wreath for my door and I will give you a tutorial for that one because I’m hoping to try something different! Have you made a wreath for your door already? If so, share a link in the comment section with me. I would love to see it!

Too funny you didn't even have a chance to hang it up...no wreath making around my house yet, though I have an idea. Looking forward to yours! Janell
