Fun Fall Crafts

Is there any better method to welcoming the fall months into our homes and businesses than with a huge flower wreath?! People really like comfortable, rich-toned colors. Most people will tell you the bigger, the better! In fact, the best thing is to start making your projects when the weather conditions start to cool off at night (around mid-October).

A wreath is super easy to make as there are several ways you can make one. You can use fabrics, paper or even twigs. Here is a sample of how one is made:

You will need these supplies-

-         12” form of a foam wreath

-         Glue gun

-         3 separate bunches of warm-toned silk flowers

-         Glue sticks

-         6’ of 2” wide ribbon that match the flowers

Directions:

1. Pull all of the blooms from the stems and then remove the plastic stems from the back of every flower.
2. Now tightly wrap the ribbon around the wreath. You can use the hot glue gun to make sure the ribbon sticks to the foam.
3. Take the hot glue gun and start sticking flowers onto the wreath. Try placing them in bunches and use plenty of glue. This is so your fabric flowers won’t fall off.
4. Remember bunching is a good thing, but make sure you fill in any gaps with more flowers. This is a great time to use the larger flowers.
5. Now if you have any gaps left, start filling them in with any smaller flowers. It shouldn’t take you any longer than about 30 minutes!
