Becky of The Dempster Logbook

Every season, I search high and low for a new wreath for my door. You see, I just cannot stand the look of a plain white door. BORING! I feel like a pretty, happy wreath offers a welcoming approach to my door. Even though I may not get any visitors at all at my doorstep, it welcomes ME home and that is what matters.I have found most wreaths that I truly love to be a bit out of my budget and since I do like to be crafty, I just started to make my own. Here is a quick tutorial on how to make your own DIY Fall Wreath.

Supplies:

• Burlap or Deco Mesh your choice- About 10 yards
• Wreath hoop
• Decorative seasonal picks
• Hot glue & glue gun or straight pins

I bought everything at JoAnn Fabrics for a total of $13.01. I was lucky to have the kids with me because honestly, I just could not decide on a theme for my wreath. I knew I wanted a Fall Wreath, but there were so many different options of flowers, pumpkins and more that I couldn’t wrap my head around it. The kids quickly picked out the cute scarecrow and then it was easy peasy to match a flower with it.

Instructions:

1. Glue or pin your burlap or mesh in place.
2. Start to wrap around the wreath until there is no more foam showing through. You will want to pull your material taught so that it is flush against the wreath.
3. Add a dab or glue or a pin to hold the final end of the mesh or burlap into place. Cut the end.
4. Pin or glue your decorative seasonal picks into place.
5. Wrap a few more pieces of mesh or burlap around the bottom of the picks and secure on both ends with glue or a pin.
