Anyone who knows me knows I am not a crafty person. In fact, the idea of doing tedious things with my hands makes my skin crawl. However, a couple years ago my awesome friend Suzanne convinced me to try and wow I really surprised myself! Please do not let this project scare you anti-craft people away! It's really easy. If I can do it you can do it!
Supplies:
- stick wreath (I bought from Michael's)
- flowers/leaves/berries (all from Michael's)
- door wreath hanger
- twine
-hot glue gun
- scissors
How to do it:
First, you want to arrange the flowers and other decorations you chose on the wreath before you glue. Cut your flowers,leaves and berries off of the long stems they come with and stick (not glue) them on your wreath.
Now that you've finalized the way you want your wreath to look, it's time to glue! Use the hot glue gun and start glueing! I prefer to glue while the flowers are still on, focusing on where the stem hits the branches on the wreath. I used stems of berries which I actually did not glue. I simple weaved them in between the branches. Remember, I am anti-craft so any step I can make easier I will take advantage of! And that's IT! You're done. Easy right? If you want to add an extra little touch like I did keep reading...
TWINE ON HANGER
Now this is a little more tedius but stick with me, it's not that bad! Take that twine and wrap around your hanger making sure they don't overlap. I found that the easiest way for me was to wrap 5 times around really fast then scrunch the twine up (Remember, try not to overlap). This is a really cute touch to add to your fall wreath! And the plus side is that you can use this hanger year round, not just fall. And I LOVE that.
Now it's your turn! I dare you to get out of your comfort zone if you're like me and try this super easy fall craft! It will get you into the fall spirit no matter where you live.
