Turn a Christmas Wreath Into a Fall Wreath
I've been looking for a Fall wreath and they're expensive!
I found one on Amazon for over $80.00, and since we're still in the midst of renovating I couldn't justify spending that type of money on one. So I grabbed one of my old Christmas wreaths and embellished it with dollar store items- leaves and berries to be precise!
The great thing about this is that it's temporary. All of the embellishments can be removed and the wreath can once again be used for Christmas!
I started off with one of those glitzy silvery wreaths, but any type can be used. Such an easy and cost effective solution since this wreath ended up costing only $15.00!

Wreaths are my thing! I love making them for myself and for others. I've restricted myself to a couple of wreaths per year so that I do not have storage issues. I try to make them work for many seasons....The Christmas wreath is such that it works with outdoor decor and works throughout the winter....even with other outdoor Christmas decorations. The alternate wreath is placed on the door after the winter wreath is put up, and can be used all the way through the fall....or I do sometimes throw up a couple of twisted galands of leaves for a few weeks in late October and throughout November to get through Halloween and Thanksgiving!!! The garlands can be used for many things other than wrapping them into wreaths. When I tire of what I have, I pull it apart, and start afresh!!! Tons of fun! Lets get creative!!!

My solution for saving space with wreaths: Pound nails along the rafters in the basement or attic and hang them there.
