Easy DIY Fall Wreath

EASY DIY Fall Wreath

I made this wreath in about 10 minutes the other day and it was the easiest thing I've ever made. I wanted to make a Fall wreath that wasn't too Christmassy since its still November. (I don't like to skip Holidays) I'm kind of iffy about this one only because I feel that it blends in too much with my door. I think this wreath would look great against a black or red door. Someone suggested adding red poinsettias to it which I think would look great, but I was trying to steer as far away from the whole Christmas theme as I can. 

Below is a step-by-step on how to create this simple-yet elegant wreath :) Enjoy!

Step 1: Gather your materials. I used a circle foam thing I found at Michaels for 4.99, a pack of  flowers of any kind. If I was doing this for the Holidays, I would have chosen red ones, and ribbon. Since I made this with Thanksgiving in mind, I chose Autumn type colors. You really can chose any variation that you want...thats the awesome part!

Step 2: Start wrapping the ribbon and secure every so often with a glue gun. (I forgot to mention that as an item needed! Glue gun=Key! Wrap all the way around.

Step 3: Once finished it should look like a giant ring. To me it looks like the rings from the old video game Sonic The Hedge Hog. I'm I the only weirdo who sees that? Maybe so, but I grew up with brothers. I know video games, so what....

Step 4: Hot glue the flowers in any section. I glued them where I had started the ribbon, just to cover up the seam. Also, I placed the flowers together, but you can also scatter them, or put more on and make it super flowery. I told you, this craft calls for originality, thats why its so genius and easy!

And finally... Hang it on your door for the world to see! I was thinking that once December rolls around, I'll move this wreath indoors and hang it on my wall as a lovely Winter decoration. By that time I'll already have my holiday wreath hanging outside, nothing goes to waste!

and WALA! Magic! a simple wreath but oh so elegant! Everyone say Hi to my reflection in the window :)
