A Fall Wreath Creation, Sonoran Desert Style
I’ve recently moved to Tucson and wanted to create an adornment for my front door, this is what I came up with.
I grew up on a small farm in New England miles from anything and long before the internet came on the scene. Sports, cooking and crafting were my main activities as a kid. Many years later I’m still active, cook and love to craft. I started blogging and YouTubing in Santa Barbara and created pieces with things collected from my garden , on the beach and from the farmers market. I’ve recently moved to Tucson and wanted to create an adornment for my front door – this is a fall wreath DIY, Sonoran Desert style.
I love my morning walks in the desert – the wildlife keeps me entertained & the mountain views are a delight. It’s also a time when I clear my mind & come up with ideas for videos & posts. Nature is so helpful & so necessary!

Creating the wreath so I have something that says “welcome fall, welcome friends” to hang on my front door
What I used:
The dried pomegranates before the brushing with a combo of the metallic paints. Here they are after their date with the paint.
Almost there – the colors of those cactus fruits shout out “fall” to me.
I love wreaths because they’re a sign of welcome. You can decorate them with whatever strikes your fancy, be it either collected in nature or bought online or at your local craft store. If you don’t have time to make your own creation, we have you covered with quite a few fall readymade wreath options . Have a wonderful fall!
