Fall wreath tutorial

I often make wreaths for friends and we definitely have one for every holiday and season at our house.

When I had the opportunity to make a fall wreath for Gina, I figured I'd show how to make the wreath, a la this tutorial.

Supplies needed:
•I'm a fan of bigger wreaths, so I used an 18" wreath
•hot glue
•fake flowers (I used about a dozen)
•monogram letter
•bow that matches the color scheme

Gina gave me the opportunity to do whatever I wanted with the wreath.

I chose a simple wood stick wreath as the frame. I knew the color scheme I was going for and knew the center flower I wanted as the focal point to draw the eye in.

I used a sunflower and placed it on the wreath.




It doesn't matter where you put the initial flower because you can rotate the wreath. I used hot glue to keep the flowers in place.




Slowly, I placed different colored flowers around the main focal point. I made the sunflower slightly off to the side.




Next, I added a big ribbon to the top of the wreath by tying it on and then hot glued it for added measure.




I then tied a ribbon (again in matching colors) to the wreath, underneath the big bow. I added the monogram letter to the ribbon.

The last step was to add a small ribbon in the back of the wreath to hang up on the door. And, viola!
