Autumn Wreath
Shopping this week, I stopped in to a favorite home store to buy what I needed to make an autumn wreath for my front door. The home store was already shoving golds and oranges aside for tinsel and garland (grrr) so their plain twig wreath bases were on the same aisle as the pre-made wreaths. Curious, I priced something similar to what I was about to make. Imagine my gasp of surprise when the pricetag read $34.99!
The plain twig wreath pictured here cost $4.99 at the same store.
This bundle of autumn decorations cost $14.99, but was on sale for $7.50. (Ignore the spool of ribbon – had originally planned to put a bow on the wreath, but it was so pretty without the bow.)
Using wire cutters, cut the flowers and decorations off of the bundle, leaving enough wire stem to thread into the twig wreath. Hot glue wherever you need extra support or help.
Attach a ribbon tied into a bow to use as both a decorative accent and the method by which you hang it.
Ta-Da! An Autumn wreath for your front door for the whopping price of $12.49.
Beats the pants off of $34.99 any day.

I actually did something very similar today! I used Martha Stewart’s Halloween wreath kit and a few 25 cent wooden shapes to make a wreath with my daughter today. I will be blogging the results very soon, yours looks great and I bet it will last a little longer than $6 paper one.
This is beautiful! My daughter made something very similar at our homeschool coop last fall.
Looks great! I have been looking everywhere for a wreath base like that! My other one didn’t survive a cross country move. I love just placing flowers in the base and changing the flowers each season.
Beautiful! Thanks for the demo.
Just stopping by from WFMW to check out your blog. It’s pretty spiffy. :) And you have some great articles. I enjoyed reading the couple I looked at. You have officially gotten yourself another daily reader :)
Thanks for havin’ me and hope to see you over at my bloggy. Have a great week.
Thank you so much! I look forward to looking at your blog!
Beautiful and frugal, too…my kind of craft!

Cuteness! I am always shocked at how much wreaths can be!

Very pretty! I am really enjoying the fall colors. I am so glad God gave us seasons, each with their own special colors, activities and feel.
Beautifully said, Abbi. I so agree. Thank you!
That is just beautiful and simple! Thanks for sharing how to do it! :)
