Ah, Fall…my dear old friend, we meet again!<\/p>\n

The first thing I like to do when a new season comes is to make my seasonal wreath for the front door. I personally\u00a0love using silk floral for my wreaths. It will last for as long as I want to use the wreath and I can get any greenery\/berries\/thistles\/floral in any color\/season! \u00a0I can also bend and shape things exactly how I want it to look. Because, lets be honest, I’m a type-A perfectionist.<\/p>\n

Where do I get my my silk floral? Hobby Lobby. They have the BEST\u00a0selection with the most “realistic” look to them without spending an arm and a leg. Hobby Lobby also has floral and greenery sales frequently<\/em> (usually 40% – 50%) so keep an eye out! If they aren’t on sale they always have 40% off one\u00a0regular priced item coupon available on their app weekly. In my case, all of the floral I used on my wreath I got 40% off and the actual base wreath (which I found out never go on sale from the cashier) I used the 40% coupon mentioned above #winning.

\nMaterials Needed:\u00a0<\/strong>
\nBase Wreath
\nChosen Floral
\nFishing Line
\nHot Glue Gun
\nFloral Stem Cutters<\/p>\n

“Base Wreath”<\/em>– I chose a twig style wreath because of two reasons. One, the textures of the twigs, vines and dead leaves were very Fall like. Two, I really like twig style wreaths because it is\u00a0great for weaving in the floral and greenery into it which is the technique I use for the majority of the process.\u00a0The size I chose is the $4.99 priced one before coupon.
\n“Chosen F<\/em>loral”<\/i>– This is the usual\u00a0process I use when choosing floral<\/em>
\n<\/span>1. You want to choose a base greenery<\/strong>. I chose a pine\/fern looking bushel with the tips colored with red, orange and yellow.
\n2. You will also need to bring in color and texture<\/strong>. \u00a0To achieve this I picked a white tipped\u00a0<\/span>cotton\u00a0branch, a yellow\u00a0fuzzy berry branch and a long red\/yellow\/orange leafed branch.<\/span>
\n3. Lastly I looked for a piece that would make it\u00a0set for\u00a0the theme or season you are making the wreath for.<\/strong>\u00a0I came across a branch with acorns and leaves on it and was sold.<\/span><\/p>\n

*TIP*<\/em><\/strong> Be creative on what you choose in the store to fit your theme. It takes me some extra time when choosing pieces and going back and forth down isles along with\u00a0picking stuff up and then putting it back. Keep your mind open and think of the big picture of what feel you want your wreath to have when its finished.<\/p>\n

\n

Step 1: Greenery\u00a0<\/strong>
\nThe twig wreaths are not perfect circles so try to find the top and bottom that you like. Once you find the top and bottom of your wreath start laying your greenery.\u00a0Weave the bottom into the wreath and then secure the top of it doesn’t lay correctly with fishing line.
\n\"photo-oct-02-2-42-33-pm\"\"photo-oct-02-2-45-56-pm\"I usually have greenery going \u00a0up on the left and down on the right (shown below). Keep using the weaving technique for as much as you can. This way you can always go back and move something if it needs to.
\n\"photo-oct-02-2-48-58-pm\"Step 2: Layer 1 Floral\"photo-oct-02-3-03-09-pm\"<\/strong>
\nI then choose my first floral I want to put on the wreath. I chose the white tipped cotton branch because it was the next neutral color that I can evenly disperse and had the most of. I again used the weaving technique. Don’t be afraid of weaving it up and under the base wreath branches.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Layer 2 Floral<\/strong>
\nThe next floral I used was the fuzzy yellow berry branches. With this I cut this into smaller manageable pieces where I can specifically place where I wanted them to go still using a weaving method.<\/p>\n

\"photo-oct-02-3-11-21-pm\"\"photo-oct-02-3-11-28-pm\"\"photo-oct-02-3-11-53-pm\"\"photo-oct-02-3-12-15-pm\"<\/p>\n

*TIP*<\/strong><\/em> You don’t have to use every piece from the bushel! Save them off to the side to use later or to use in a different wreath or to use in other places around your house like you mantle.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Layer 3 Floral<\/strong>
\nThe last floral layer I did was the\u00a0long red\/yellow\/orange leaved branch. I made this in smaller manageable pieces too. I then layered those into the wreath as well using the weaving method.
\n\"photo-oct-02-3-16-05-pm\"\"photo-oct-02-3-16-34-pm\"\"photo-oct-02-3-16-55-pm\"\"photo-oct-02-3-30-56-pm\"<\/p>\n

Step 5: Add Center Statement\u00a0Piece<\/strong>
\n\"photo-oct-02-3-53-15-pm\"Lastly I needed to add the acorns to create a center statement to the wreath. This is the only part of the wreath that I needed to use a hot glue gun on some pieces. Make sure to test all of the other pieces that you put into the wreath and hot glue anything else that seems loose.<\/p>\n

\n

Here is the final product, step back and enjoy your masterpiece.. \"photo-oct-02-3-51-49-pm\"\"photo-oct-02-3-53-26-pm\"\"photo-oct-02-3-52-11-pm\"<\/p>\n

The total cost of this wreath was\u00a0$25<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0to make!<\/p>\n

\n

What is your statement piece? A bow? An first letter initial of your last name?
\nWhere do you like to get your floral and greenery from?
\nI LOVE the color of my front door. What is the color of yours? Do you have a dream color?<\/p>\n

\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
