Dollar Store Score- DIY Autumn Wreath

The air was actually cooler here in Central Florida! Wow...and the perfect time for me to get to decorating more for fall. I'm slacking big time but the honest truth is that I didn't have any decorations for this time of the year. How horrible is that!?

Well, all of that is changing and I'm doing without hurting my bank account.

This little DIY was used with all items coming from the local Dollar Tree.

Items needed:

One Vine Wreath
Garland of your choosing (I used two 4' sections of Autumn Garland)
Floral Wire
A few foam squash left over from another project (I'll have to show that one too!)

I cut the wire into 4 inch pieces and started out with 10 pieces total. Start by just tying an end to the wreath. Twist a couple of times and leave the ends on. Don't cut them off yet!

Keep tying the garland to the wreath until you have reached your end. Now, start overlapping the garland where the new bundles of leaves are filling up the empty spots on the wreath. Use the wire that is already there in some spots.

Once you are done using the garland to wrap the wreath, there were inevitably some spots that were bare. I used the remaining pieces and wrapped the wire around a few pieces of vine and left an end sticking out. Then just shove the foam pieces onto the wire.

Then..you're done. Hang up and enjoy. This took me all of 20 minutes? If that! And this cost me $4 and change (since I used a few squash from another project.)

Hope this finds you all well!

Hugs,
