Fall Wreath

Hello All!
So this is my first blog post, so hopefully I can figure everything out and make it go smoothly. For my English class this semester, one of the assignments is to create a blog about something I am passionate about and want to learn more about. I love to bake and do crafts but rarely get to because of how busy my life is, so I saw this as an opportunity to and jumped at it. I am looking forward to trying something new out each week. 

This blog will be switching from different crafts and cooking or baking ideas that I find off of Pinterest and try out to see if they are even possible to create. Then I will compare and contrast what I did verses what they did. I will also post multiple pictures on here so you can see the process. I am excited about this blog and hope that you will enjoy it and try some of them out.

This week for my first blog post, I created a fall wreath since it is September 1, I thought that it was entirely appropriate and a fun idea. I came up with this idea due to my boyfriend taking down my current wreath and telling me i needed a fall decoration and stuck up one of those dollar store scarecrows.. It's not cute at all, so I looked at Pinterest and found several cute ideas. Mine is not exactly the same as the one that I found but had some general instructions that I did use. Fall Wreath Pin



The picture above are the items you will need 
The items you will need are-
  • Fake Flowers, Pumpkins, Leaves, Feathers, etc.
  • Grape White Wreath
  • Ribbon, Bow, or other decor (I did an owl)
  • Hot Glue Gun and Sticks
  • Wire Cutter/Scissors
I got all the items I needed at Michael's but most of the stuff you can get at any local craft store.

Steps to create a wreath-

1. Cut off all tags

2. Take the flowers off the stems, some you will need to cut off others you can just pull off.

3. You will then arrange them according to your personal preference.


4. Following that you will hot glue the bow/ribbon/owl onto the wreath then flowers/pumpkins/feathers/etc then add your leaves.


It's a pretty easy and a straight forward process but everyone's will turn out differently and reflect your personality. I was able to follow the pin's instructions and it worked out perfectly fine. Although i did change some of it up like getting an owl instead of a bow or wooden letter, which there are several little extras you can add and choose from. Here is my finished project verse the pin's I used.
This is the one I created.
