I was really wanting something for our door this fall but all the wreaths I found really weren't my style and also, huge! I saw a picture of a small wreath with a wooden letter on it and I thought "hey, I could make that!"
Here's what I purchased:
$4 Grape Vine Wreath - AC Moore
$1.50 Wooden B -AC Moore
$0.50 Tube of Acrylic Paint - AC Moore
$1.00 Bag of Faux Leaves - Dollar Tree
$1.00 Faux White Berry Stem - Dollar Tree
$1.00 Faux Pussy Willow Stem - Dollar Tree
$1.00 Faux Green Seeded Stem - Dollar Tree
= $10 Fall Wreath
To start I painted the wooden B with an off white paint, 2 coats, knowing that It would need time to dry.
While the B was drying I began to hot glue the faux leaves to a section of the grape vine wreath.
I cut off a few pieces from each of the stems and bundled them into two sections. One for each side of the B.
I then hot glued the bundles to the bottom section of the wreath.
Once the B dried I hot glued in between the two bundles. I was a little tricky to get enough glue in just the right place and I was a little nervous it would fall off. So, I reinforced it with some twine.
