$10 Fall Wreath

I went shopping for a fall wreath last week and was shocked to see that the cheapest wreath that I could find was $25. I love fall… but not that much. I saw that Allison from House of Hepworths created a wreath of her own. I was off to the dollar store and here is what I picked up.

3 picks of leaves- $3

Picks of pumpkins/gourds- $2

Cattails, red flowers, and yellow flowers-- $3 (ignore the wheat--- I didn’t use it because that would be an $11 wreath and would require and separate post).

Ribbon- $1

Please take note of the glue gun in the upper right corner. It was a new purchase this weekend and I had a huge smile on my face when I checked out of Lowe’s with it. The guy at the counter probably thought the love in my eyes was for him, but alas, it was for the glue gun that may will change my life.

I picked up some pizza, turned on Swiss Family Robinson and started gluing away and tada… my $10 fall wreath was born.

I don’t have a traditional front door and I wanted to be able to enjoy it so it is hanging on the fireplace until I move.

I am working on a $20 fall mantle which includes this wreath. It will be posted soon!

Have a great FALL weekend!

  2. I love your wreath, and it looks like it costs more than the $25 wreath you saw in the store. Great job. I am a excited new follower who saw a link to your blog on HoH :)
