Thrifty Thursday: Inexpensive Homemade Fall Wreath!

Hello

Did you know that the first day of fall is next week!?! I’ve cheated though and have already been decorating my house and enjoying my pumpkin spice candle! So, with all the fall decorations already getting picked over, I’ve already been busy getting some good deals. Fall wreaths tend to be very expensive, so I did some research and made my own! The total cost for my wreath was $9.00, and I bought almost everything I needed at the Dollar Tree.

 

Dollar Tree:

1 Wooden Wreath- $1.00

2 Glittery Fall Leaf Vines- $2.00

3 Gurber Daisy Looking Flower Bunches- $3.00

2 Accenting Flower Bunches To Coordinate- $2.00

 

Walmart:

1 Scrap Piece of Brown Fabric- $.98

 

I already owned the ribbon, brown thread, buttons, brown spray paint, and an accenting piece of brown fabric.

 

Directions:

To make the fabric flowers I followed this tutorial HERE.

I first spray painted the wreath brown.

Hot glue the leaf vines around the wreath. With the ends I used the thread to tie them to the wooden wreath. The vines have little loops on the ends to make it much easier to tie.

Hot glue the fabric flowers where you want them to be, then hot glue and tie the remaining flowers on. I tucked the flower bunches under the fabric flowers to give a natural look.

 

When making your wreath be creative and have fun! Make it your own creation. This is just a starting point for you! I just want you to know that you can make a fall wreath that can be very inexpensive to create. I want to see pictures of your wreaths when you are all done, with the total cost!

 

Thanks, Fave Crafts

    Look at Goodwill too. I bought a really cute fall wreath there for $0.95 yesterday!!!

    I haven’t made mine yet (going to work on it when I finish my coffee) but I found all my stuff at the Dollar Tree (also found that the other store is much bigger than the one I’d been going to) and spent a total of $5 on everything. I’m going to leave my wreath in the natural color, because running to Wal Mart for a $3 can of spray paint could be dangerous to my budget ; )

    I probably wouldn’t have gone through with buying the supplies if I hadn’t seen this post today. Thanks!
