New Fall Wreath

I can't wait for fall to come any longer, it's been a great summer but I'm totally over this HOT weather. So I'm going to imagine that it's cooling down here and start decorating my house for fall. Maybe I can trick myself into feeling like it's getting cooler. Hehehe. In part of my excitement for fall I decided to make a new front door wreath times two, because we have double front doors.

I was inspired to make a new wreath after watching an InstaStory from Bowerpower where she updated an existing wreath with some new fall picks. Previously I had made a super easy wreath using supplies from the dollar store that only cost $4, you can check it out here and they still sell similar supplies so you could make one too, but that was back when we lived in a house with only one front door. It seems silly that we've lived in this house for five years now and I've still only had ONE wreath on my front door!

I was at JoAnn's and they were having a super sale so I went a little crazy and bought all the supplies! They are always having sales and have great coupons so I'm sure you could do similar...

I bought everything with the plan of dividing it into two. The flower bunches were big enough that I only needed to buy one of each. Here is what I bought:

• 2 Twig Wreaths
• 1 bunch of large Red Sunflowers
• 1 bunch of medium sun flowers
• 4 White flower picks
• 2 Acorn & pine cone picks

These flower bunches are great, you get so many flowers for such a good deal. All you have to do is snip their stems off to separate them. If you have wire cutters those work best, but regular scissors will work too.

I quickly assembled both wreaths in 4 easy steps. First I added the three large red sunflowers. I spread them out to allow room to fill in with the other flowers. I also stuck in some of the extra leaves from the bouquet for some greenery.

Next I added the beautiful white flower picks. These are handy because they come with multicolored leaves and little berries all attached together.

Thirdly I added the medium sized yellow sunflowers. When I cut my bunch apart I had enough for three per wreath.

Finally I added the little pick with acorns and tiny pine cones in at the bottom.

And that's it, super easy! I liked the look of not filling the whole wreath in but rather seeing the exposed twigs, they go with the season.

Have you ever made a wreath before? I was scared of doing any type of flower arranging for such a long time, but now I just love it! Even when you think it's looking terrible all you have to do is take a step back and the flowers work their magic and make it beautiful no matter what! Yay fall colors are here!!!! I feel cooler already!!!
