It's okay! ShoestringAmy has you covered. Gather items from around your home and create a creative, rustic, natural, Fall wreath you will love. Grab the kids, they can help too!
Gather leaves, sticks, acorns, etc. Anything from around your home, neighbors/friends yard (maybe it's a good idea to ask first. wink.) Along with things from around your home. Anything circular (use your imagination!) will work for a wreath. In this case, we are using an old fashioned grain sifter.
Begin to arrange items in a cohesive arrangement. Be sure not too add too much or too little. Play around with it until it's pleasing to you. This is your project afterall.
There. After you have arranged each item to your liking start gluing and typing things into place. I especially love a gluestick for these type of projects- it can easily be removed if you want to change things out for the next season.
I added some rustic apples to the wreath and it made for a nice, simple, AND FREE accent.
Welcome....if you can get past my guard dog. (wink.)
