Welcome to my first Fall Favorites Friday! Each Friday this fall I’ll be sharing some of my favorite fall projects, recipes, inspiration, etc. I’m excited to get started!
Today I’m going to show you how I made this fall wreath that’s on my fall mantle.
It was super easy and super cheap. Love that.
First, I bought a plain twiggy wreath at Hobby Lobby for around $4 (I had a coupon).
Then I rummaged around my fall decor stuff and found that I had a lot of old faux foliage I could use instead of buying new (whenever I stop using a faux floral arrangement I save pieces of it that I might be able to re-use).
I gathered up some real acorns that my daughter and I found while walking home from school and decided that I would also make some burlap fabric flowers to add to the wreath. (I don’t have any pictures of myself doing this step, but there is a great tutorial for making fabric flowers at the My Sparkle blog.)
With all of my ingredients ready I set things on the wreath to see where I wanted to position it and then started hot-gluing everything on.
Within a few short minutes it looked like this (I left some of the burlap a little stringy because I thought it was kinda cute that way):
Then I turned it over and added a little twine loop to the back for hanging. I just tied a knot, snipped the extra ends and hot-glued it on.
And there you have it! A super simple wreath.
