Cotton Fall Wreath

Every morning for the past few weeks I woke up and looked out the window. A few leaves have turned color, but as soon as I look at the weather report — the heat and humidity has yet to leave North Carolina. Will fall ever arrive? I want to wear flannel shirts and boots. I want cooler temperatures so I can stop sweating the minute I step outside. To usher fall into our area, I decided to make a super simple Cotton Fall Wreath. You won’t believe how easy this wreath was to make!

Materials:

• Real Cotton W reath Base
• Dried Preserved Fall Leaves  (sometimes you can find these at your local florist or grocery store)
• Burlap Ribbon

Instructions:

This wreath was so simple to create, I didn’t take step-by-step photos. Gasp!

Really, it’s so simple, all you have to do is tuck preserved leaves into the cotton wreath. Yup, just tucked, no glue or anything!

Then loop a strip of burlap (or ribbon of your choice) through the top and pin it to the top of your door using a flat thumbtack.

See, wasn’t that super simple?

A red ribbon would also look beautiful with this wreath.

To give my entry a little extra decor, I added a few colorful items.

A little step ladder with a pumpkin and some silk flowers.

The chalkboard painted pail from my fall mantle a few years ago .

A faked blue gourd  sits on the bottom step, tempting people to touch it to see if it’s real.

My favorite décor item is this light up grapevine sphere . It adds a beautiful warm glow after dark.
