Sometimes I just want to take a moment for myself and create a simple craft or DIY project. I'm not a huge crafter, but every now and then I want to finish a project in an hour or less, including cleanup (my least favorite part).
While I was making my weekly trip around Target, I found some fall finds in the Dollar Spot section. They had the cutest stuff! When I saw the adhesive letters, scrapbook paper, and felt flower embellishments, I just knew they would be perfect on a small wreath for fall.
I had this smallish grapevine wreath sitting around, just waiting for me to pick it up and use it. Wait, don't your craft supplies sit around talking to you about how they need to be used? Oh, that's just me? Gotcha.
So I grabbed a few other items, like fancy string and a glue gun, which I ended up not using, and got to work.
About 5 minutes later, this cute little number appeared.
The hardest part, which can't really be called hard at all, was cutting out the bunting from the scrapbook paper. Aren't those the cutest little designs? I had to make sure the triangles were big enough for the letters to fit. It took me a couple of tries, I'm embarrassed to admit.
You can see the line I drew on my first attempt below. Much too small!
Once you cut out the first one, you can use it as the template and just trace the rest. If you need more tips on making bunting, then check out this post. (click here)
Position your letters and stick them on! The ones from the Dollar Spot are adhesive, but honestly the adhesive isn't great, so if you use these, add some glue too. You could easily make these letters with your Silhouette as well!
I used the two felt flowers to embellish the wreath, and some burlap ribbon I had on hand to hang it over my chalkboard. I love it! I may move it later, but for now I enjoy seeing it in the kitchen.
Let me know if you try it!
And send me pictures! I would love to see how yours turned out.
