Fall Wreath

Hey there fellow crafters! It is officially my favorite time of the year, fall! I decided to make this wreath using fabric, ribbon and Clear Scraps Shiplap pumpkin and Wood scripted “hello”.

I gathered some fall fabric ( about a 1/2 yd each) and ribbon.

I cut the ribbon and fabric into 10×2 strips using pinking shears.

Next I took the ribbon and fabric and tied it to each of the 4 layers of the wire wreath. I tied one at a time then pushed them together until the wreath was full. By doing this method, I was able to make sure the colors and patterns were spaced and balanced throughout the wreath.

I then painted the pumpkin. This was a little tricky, because I was trying to get the right shade of blue or gray. I couldn’t decide until I put it on the wreath to get an idea. I ended up mixing the blue and gray, but it was too dark, so I added white on top and then streaks of gray. For the “hello”, I used brown with a dab of black to get the chocolate color I was looking for.

I zip tied the greenery to the wreath, glued the “hello” to the pumpkin and finally glued the pumpkin to the wreath on top of the zipties to cover the greenery stems.

I loved how this turned out so much I am making another one and some garland with the left over ribbon and fabric. I hope are inspired to make your own wreath! Thanks for looking,
