DIY Eclectic Fall Wreaths
When my friend Ariel from PMQ for Two asked me to join her Fall eclectic wreath blog hop, I was thrilled! Finding creative ways to repurpose items into new decor gets me excited. No need to rush to the craft store for every seasonal piece, shop the house (and maybe the dollar store) and let your imagination run wild. Be inspired by this collection of DIY eclectic Fall wreaths.
If you are coming from Jennifer Priest, welcome!!
What you need:
An empty frame
Dollar store greenery and pumpkins (eucalyptus and pinecones )
Floral wire
Craft paint (gold, white, and teal)
Forest animal
Put it together:
The stems I found are a Fall vegetable that grows in Okinawa. (If you recognize it, please let me know!)
First, trim the vegetable (pumpkin, gourds, unknown Okinawan produce) and pull of stems and leaves to prepare for painting.
Spray paint a couple of light coats or use a sponge brush and craft paint to change the vegetable colors into non-traditional Fall colors. The colors I had on hand are gold, white, and teal.
After the vegetables are dry, re-attach to stems. Use florist wire to attach all of the greenery to the wreath. Hot glue pinecones into place last.
Use a forest animal to add some quirk to your modern eclectic wreath!
