Easy Autumn Wreath

By Brandie Valenzuela

Autumn is my most favorite time of the year. I just can't get enough of the pumpkins, fall leaves, and cool days! I am constantly creating and purchasing new items for my home to create a warm, fall look during this time of the year.

One of my very favorite Autumn craft projects, just happens to be one of the easiest and the most inexpensive. Follow my directions and in no time your home will show that you love Autumn too!

You will need: 1 grapevine wreath, undecorated 1/2 to 1 yard of Autumn or Harvest themed fabric Raffia

What you do: Take your fabric and cut it into strips that are approximately 1.5" x 18". After you have a good supply of strips, tie each strip onto the wreath into a bow in various places. Continue adding bows until it has a look that you enjoy. After tying on your bows, take a large bunch of raffia and tie it in a bow at the top of your wreath. Hang as you desire.
