before we officially plunge into christmas/winter mode, i thought i would share some details on my autumn wreath now gracing the front door. i waited on this post, because we have been hoping our landlord will let us repaint the front door turquoise - which is so very new mexican - but no word back yet on the approval. so can you just imagine this wreath sitting on a turquoise door? okay, thanks.
also, this is not a true tutorial. there are so many wreath DIYs out there and this was a dipping-my-toes-back-in-the-creative-water type project. but here are the quick details:
one straw wreath without the plastic wrap removed
2" strips of fabric wrapped around it
lots and lots of felt roses hot glued to the bottom, as well as a few rolled wool buds
add in some orange berries i found in the stash
burlap leaves tucked here and there
and a strip of burlap to tie the wreath up on the door
without counting time to make the flowers (which i had premade a couple years ago when i was still selling on etsy), the wreath took me maybe an hour. and that is with kiddos afoot. plus needing to pull out and choose the materials. it was such a breath of fresh crafty air in our full homeschooling days. i need to remember it is okay to do that.
i do like my house to feel decidedly autumnish through thanksgiving, so i have another week with this pretty thing. but, yes, i have begun some christmas crafting in preparation for a total house swap next friday.
how about you? is your tree already up and the christmas music a'playing? or will you wait until next weekend?
