Autumn
When the trees their summer splendor
Change to raiment red and gold,
When the summer moon turns mellow,
And the nights are getting cold;
When the squirrels hide their acorns,
And the woodchucks disappear;
Then we know that it is autumn,
Loveliest season of the year.

I felt a bit crafty this weekend
and decided to make a new wreath
for my front door
I scored a great deal on the already decorated
wreath at TJ Maxx
Then I went to work personalizing it just a bit
I picked up a wooden C at Hobby Lobby
along with some coordinating
paint colors and ribbon
Painted the C a butternut squash color
appropriate for fall, huh?
Next, the tricky part, CIRCLES
I used a stencil but I still had some
splotches of paint going on
Guess becoming a professional stenciler
is OUT for me!
I used ribbon to tie the C to the wreath
(I love this patterned ribbon)
Finally, to dress it up a bit
I added a bow
Wholla!
Hanging on the front door
just waiting to welcome you in!
Happy fall, y'all!

That wreath turned out great! I think the circles are just perfect!
ReplyDeleteSO cute! I love all the elements that you added to the wreath! Your bows are extra special. I saw your post over at "Between Naps on the Porch". I am following you now.
ReplyDeleteLove your wreath! I redid a wreath that I have had forever by adding an initial and a new bow. I really like how you put the circles on your initial.

Love your wreath. I also like buying a wreath then adding my own touches - you did a great job. Red sunflowers make me so happy, how can you not smile when you see them?

Over here from Coastal Charm and this is really pretty!
