How-to Make a Fall Wreath

by on ‎08-22-2014 02:49 PM

Hi, everyone!


Thank you all for watching and chatting last Wednesday night for our first episode of You're Home with Jill…it felt great to be “back!” I know lots of you were asking if we could add my fall stuffing recipe to QVC.com and it’s there. So, my Pork Tenderloin with Apples and my Favorite Fall Stuffing are both on my recipe page…enjoy!


I know we just “started,”  but this Wednesday we have one of my favorite DIY pieces of the season…a gorgeous fall wreath. What do you think?


DIY Fall Wreath


Gorgeous, right? Here’s how you make this:


You will need:


1 10-yard roll of burlap garland
1 wire wreath frame
1 package of tan-colored pipe cleaners
15 small pumpkins and gourds
2 bunches of leaves
2 different bunches of colored flowers (for a pop of color, if desired)
Glue gun and glue sticks


How-to Assemble:


Begin by securing the end of the burlap to the wreath with a pipe cleaner. Push loops of burlap through the back of the frame and secure with pipe cleaners, alternating sections and pushing them together as you go. Continue pushing and securing loops through the frame all the way around. Once the frame is full, fluff, and even out the loops.


Hot glue the pumpkins and gourds in clusters around the wreath. Cut sprigs of leaves and flowers and hot glue around the wreath to fill in color and texture. It’s up to you whether you rest the wreath on a nail or if you want to add a hanging loop.


You never thought it was going to be so easy, did you? You could really make one of these for every season…spring, summer, winter…burlap works in every season. Just change the flowers and decorations.


So that’s my front door—now show me yours! That was my challenge for you last Wednesday night because our theme this Wednesday is #YHJInspired Outdoors! Submit your photos to Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter but be sure to use #YHJInspired so we can find them. Or, you can email your photos to us at yhj@qvc.com. We need them by Monday, August 25. And then I’ll reveal my three favorite photos in my blog on Tuesday and on the show Wednesday at 7pm ET on You're Home with Jill.


From my home to yours,
—Jill
