New Fall Wreath

Last year I made a wreath for the front door.



We are now in a different house and I just didn't want to use the same wreath.

So, after seeing hundreds and hundreds of wreath ideas on Pinterest I decided to make a new wreath for the new house.

Now, I wanted something different from anything I had done before and I found, what I thought would be the perfect one.

Cornucopia Wreath


Here is a link to my inspiration:

Here is my version.




So, what do you think?


Would you like to know how I did it?

Well, a couple of weeks ago I went to the Beall's Outlet store and found two bags of the faux gourds and a garland of fall leaves.

I already had the straw wreath and a spool of fall ribbon.

 I wrapped the straw wreath with the ribbon and then wrapped the garland around the wreath.

Next, I got out my hot glue gun and just started gluing the gourds on the wreath.





So, do you think I succeeded in making this one like my inspiration?

Have a great weekend!

Where does time go?

I have really fallen off the blogging wagon I guess.  I can't seem to get a schedule down so I don't post - but it's been almost...
