Happy October: Fall Wreath Tutorial {DIY}

This is an old post! But a great one for those getting their houses ready for the Fall season! I still use this wreath and it is so inexpensive to make.

Once again I was more then inspired by Pinterest. I have always wanted to make a versatile wreath that I could change with the seasons! When I saw this one on Pinterest ……

…..and clicked on it it took me to Etsy where it cost WAY MORE then my budget called for. It looked simple enough, so I thought what the heck why not give it a try, I used to be pretty good with a glue gun!

Turns out I still got it! Now I wished I had an awesome step by step post that told you ever single step of how I made this wreath, but sadly I have two full time jobs and have to have time to make fun things like this so I don’t! But I will do my best to tell you how you can make one of these cute wreathes on your own! You ready??

What you will need:

  • One giant branch wreath from craft store
  • Two different color burlap fabrics ( about 1/4 of yard of both)
  • Fun garland and or flours for decor
  • One wood letter
  • Hot glue gun and glue
  • Time!
  • Little wood sign
  • Twin like rope (under the letter)
  • Chalk board spray paint
  • Chalk
How to make it:
First thing you will need to do is follow this awesome Youtube video on how to make cute little rosettes! They are soooo easy! Then make about 7 of them. Now lay out your flowers and or garland how you would like it on your wreath and then glue down with glue gun. Now place your rosettes how you would like and hot glue them. Now take rope like twine and wrap around the left side of the wreath (this is optional). Take your wood letter place it on the right side of your wreath and hot glue down. You are almost done! Now all you need to do is spray paint your little wood sign (you could do this first so it’s dry when you finish) wait for it to completely dry. Run your chalk all over it and then erase. Now you can write whatever cute little saying you would like on it and ta-da! YOU ARE DONE!!! I know should have taken more pictures!! I think I am going to make another one so maybe I will add more photos to this post in the future…maybe ๐Ÿ˜‰
