Hey girlfriends! Mom and I made a fall wreath this week as part of our “make time for retirement” project. Meaning we need to make time to enjoy the little things we love to do and not be so busy we forget to spend time together. I’m sure many of you know exactly what I mean.
So this week we decided to make a fall wreath, because I wanted one for my barren front door. Mom picked up several fall floral picks from her favorite shop for $21.00. It doesn’t take much to fill in a wreath. You don’t want it to look overdone. I picked up a wispy grapevine wreath at Hobby Lobby for less than $6.00.
We went into my own garden and snipped some bittersweet berries – price free! And I love that it has something from my very own garden tucked in.
Now all we need is a little creative spirit, along with the magical hot glue gun, and we’re in business. We finished this up in less than an hour and had lots of fun getting to create it ourselves. See what you think!
A warm and inviting welcome to my guests and visitors, don’t you think?
That’s beautiful! I love it!
Hi Debbie…
Your wreath is gorgeous and it looks fabulous against your black door!!! You and your mom did a great job! Sooo beautiful!
Happy Fall,
Chari
That’s beautiful girls! I have a quilt hanging made of pieced leaves and bought a magnetic rod for the door so I could hang it between the steel door and the glass storm door so it would be protected from the weather. I had some left over fall colored greenery and ribbon, but it didn’t turn out nearly as beautiful as your wreath.
Send us a photo, sounds great. Aren’t those magnetic rods super…
I think it’s beautiful! I’m actually crocheting mine right now and I’d best hurry before fall’s over…you did a great job making yours!
