Hi Everyone! I wanted to show you the fall wreath I made. I took it to the Essex Labor Day Market, but it didn't sell. So I'll be taking it this weekend to the craft fair. I made it to show off the wreath stands I made. I have found that if you have a wreath stand and no wreath on it, people just don't know what to do with it. I always try to make sure and have at least one wreath. So this is the one I made.
I used a grapevine wreath as my base. And added a multi-colored pip berry garland to it. But it seemed a bit dark. So I added some 12" pip berry picks that had some of the same colors as the multi-colored ones but also had cream ones in it to lighten it up. Then I added these rusty metal maple leaf picks to it.
And painted this metal welcome sign and wired it on.
Next I took this rusty metal dragonfly. It too was a bit dark so I added a touch of red to the wings and face to help it stand out. And I added some pine cones and the burlap to hang the wreath by.
And a group of acorns.
And there you have it. A simple fall wreath. And if it doesn't sell, I'll be perfectly happy to hang it on my door. Well, thanks for stopping by.
I like the way you think! If it doesn't sell, you have a great wreath for YOUR door!
