Super fun fall wreath

Trev and I get to move in on Monday!! Until my hoard is pulled from storage, here is a great fall wreath that I am dying to make. I will of course post pictures and step-by-step once I have completed mine.

This How To and photos reblogged from Lauren's Creative she has some great ideas!




Supplies
Hot Glue Gun/Scissors
14" Straw Wreath $2.99
(3) Acorn Picks $1.19/each
Pepper berry Pick $1.19
Green Yarn $2.99
Brown (Multi-colored) Yarn $3.99
Brown Ribbon $6.99
(5) Sheets of 9 x 12 Felt $.34/each
Total: $22.23

Tips:
  • Do NOT take the plastic off of the straw wreath - it would make a huge mess, and I think you would end up with little bits of straw peeking through.
  • Felt Mums - to make the larger mums I used two strips of 1 x 12 felt.  To ensure I had even strips - I used my rotary cutter and a ruler.  I tried to use my Martha Stewart fringe scissors, but they didn't cut through the felt that well.  It may work if you've never cut paper with them, since paper dulls your scissors.
  • I attached the acorn picks and the pepper berry pieces FIRST and then added the flowers.
If you have any questions, let me know!  Hope you have a great weekend!
