DIY - How to Make a Fall Wreath

by on ‎09-08-2017 03:48 PM

I am so excited that CRAFTING is finally returning to QVC!  My first show will be on QVC2 on Monday September 18th from 10pm to Midnight ET.  In honor of the return, I thought it would be great to reshare some of my favorite Fall DIY's with you.  Let's get started with a wreath!

 

Anyone can go to their favorite craft store and buy a premade fall wreath for their door. But it’s so much fun—and more rewarding—to make your own. Especially when it can be this nice!!

What 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)
Hot glue

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!  I would LOVE to see what DIY's you are making to decorate your front door for fall.   Post your pictures here and I may share them LIVE on AIR during my show!

 

From my home to yours,
