DIY Fall Wreath Tutorial; Dollar Tree Supplies Only!

FallWreathDIY8I spent $9 at the Dollar Tree and made this harvest wreath for my front door. I got the inspiration after googling “fall decor ideas” and running across this post over at House of Hepworths. I put my own lil’ spin on it. Here is what i did…

Materials: 6 assorted floral leaf packs
1 18 inch garland wreath
1 package fall centerpiece decor variety (three pictured here, but only used one for
wreath – you will see the other 2 soon enough)
Add it up – $9!!
I used some organza I had on hand to tame down the green garland, which i wasn’t real fond of, but it was all I had to choose from at Dollar Tree. I just wrapped it all the way around the wreath, cut it, and secured it with a dot of hot glue.

Next, I began tearing apart my florals and hot gluing them around my wreath, onto the organza fabric. I cut small holes in the fabric to stick stems in for extra security, but I am pretty sure the hot glue would have sufficed.

Once I was satisfied with the fullness and balance, I hung it from a hook with a piece of lovely orange ribbon I had on hand.


I love how this turned out. It was easy and cheap, just the way I like it. Yep, I just typed that sentence. Wow. Anyway, it was a perfectly beautiful fall day, as I put this together on my front porch, belly full of homemade turkey chili. I am dying to show you the rest of the porch. I am going to reveal it one project at a time however, then wow you with the oh so drab “before” pics. Stay tuned, wonderful readers. Give thanks, scatter joy!

Cutest Felted Snowmen from Knit Picks

FeltedSnowmenPictured is my version of the Knit Pick snowmen pattern, available for free download! I used Moda Dea bamboo wool in cream, and it felted fine in the washer on hot (2 cycles, with detergent). I abandoned the pattern in terms of accessories, mainly because I find crochet to be faster than knitting, and I was in a hurry. I just crocheted the earmuffs, hat and scarf.

I am in love with these little guys. This pair is going to my grandparents for Christmas. The shorter one will have a scarf, or a nice winter poncho of sorts. I will post when finished! Just wanted to get something posted today, and there is still time to whip up a couple of these for last minute gifts. I am happy to write out a pattern for the hats and earmuffs, but since I have 2 followers including myself, and Unholy Nancy doesn’t crochet, you will have to message me and request it!
Many holiday blessings!
