Crafty me!

I often drool over wreaths at the stores. Especially ones that look like this:


They are so beautiful and so expensive. I can never bring myself to buy one.

Well, the other night we had a craft night at my house and I decided since I was hosting it I should probably attempt some craft. I went for a wreath.

And it turned out great!



Isn't it great?! I do need to tweak it a bit, but I was pretty pleased with it. I did what some of my friends and family suggested and looked at a couple of wreaths I loved and then tried to mimic the style on a wreath of my own.

It's so Fall-ish, I just LOVE this time of year.

P.S. You can find the store-bought wreath at Pier 1 for $44.95, mine was just a fraction of the cost coming in at about $12!

Aubrey, that is seriously a gorgeous wreath. I usually can't get into the store bought wreaths because they are too much. I love the way your self crafted one looks, so clean and natural.

Will you teach us how?
