Happy Monday! We made it back from the beach and I am super excited about the fun crafts I have planned for you this week! First up is my new Fall Wreath. It is very elegant and easy to make! Plus, I love how I can simply change the ribbon for different holidays. {yep, you’ll probably see more of this wreath with different holiday variations}
Elegant Fall Wreath
This wreath on my black front door could almost pass for a Halloween wreath! Not sure if the pearls are very Halloween-y…. What do you think??
This year I wanted to do a very elegant wreath. Last year’s fall wreath was rather casual, so I decided to go a different route this year.
Autumn Wreath
As you’ve probably noticed, I like simple, easy wreaths. I love the texture of the pearls on this wreath. I used a Styrofoam wreath form that has a boxy shape instead of rounded. I think the square shape will hold the pearls better and makes the wreath more defined looking.
To Make this Wreath: I simply hot glued exactly 6.5 bags of cheap 10mm pearls on 3 sides of the wreath form. {I estimate it took about 1300 pearls} I got s system going and had the glue gun in one hand and then with my other hand, I would glue 2-3 pearls at a time. It did take a couple hours, but went a lot faster with this system. After I was done gluing on the pearls, I used this awesome trick to get rid of the hot glue strings. {works like a charm every time! just be careful not to do it for too long or you could loosen your pearls} Then I used a thick orange ribbon to hang the wreath on my front door.
Simply change the color of the ribbon for other holidays! such an easy, no-fuss wreath that does double duty for more holidays!
So what do you think? Too elegant for Fall or just right??
Have you made your fall wreath yet? If so, tell me about it!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
happy crafting,
Linda
