fall wreath
I love fall! It is my favorite season of the year. I love the colors, the cool crisp mornings, doing fall crafts, and baking.
I decided I needed a new fall wreath for our door and I didn't want to have to go buy any materials. So I challenged myself to use what I already had at home. This fall planter was my inspiration for my new wreath.
materials-
several different fall colored fabrics (I used 7)
piece of cardboard
2 different size bowls (one needs to be smaller than the other)
exacto knife
jute
instuctions-
1. pick your fabrics
2. cut a section from each fabric (the length needs to be about a foot long)
3. rip your fabrics into 1 1/2 inch strips
4. trace the larger circle onto the cardboard
5. trace the smaller circle in the center of the other circe
6. toss all of your fabric strips in a pile to mix them up
7. start tying the strips all around the wreath
8. line all of the knots up in the center of the wreath
9. cut a piece of jute and loop around the wreath and tie a knot at the ends
10. hang on your door and enoy!
too cute. you make me so proud. hang it on your back door so you can see it all the time.
