Welcome to one of my latest Craft Project posts that I am very proud of.
I have been wanting to make a wreath for about four years now,
and I never got around to it until this Autumn. Oops!

Autumn Wreaths like this can be placed indoors flat or indoors hung up.
If you have a nice sheltered porch over your doorway you could even hang it outside!
I chose to make an indoor wreath using false leaves, dried pine cones, acorns and wooden craft pieces.

Here are all the things I have used to make my two wreath rings.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It’s a good idea to decide on your design before you start gluing anything, I place mine around the outside.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

How to Make<\/strong>

Step 1. Prepare your design before you glue anything down.

Step 2. Glue the first layer of items down using a glue gun and wait for that to dry and the glue to harden before you add the next layer. Use a blob of glue per item, just enough to stick it down because you don’t want lots of excess glue on the wreath.

Step 3. Repeat the second layer with the glue and take care when pressing down the items when it is hot. Layer by overlapping the leaves until all the white on the front is gone. Once you’ve done the leaves let the wreath dry a few minutes and the glue harden.

Step 4. Keep adding to your design and let the layers dry in between, it only takes a few minutes to dry each time. You can put as many layers on as you would like to, and then add the three dimensional items last.

Step 5. When the design is fully dry then you are able to either lay it out or hang it up in your home. If you are hanging it up on a window you may want to repeat the design on the other side so that you can see leaves on both sides.

Take Care when Pushing the Items on the the Hot Glue<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

TOP TIPS!<\/strong> Make sure you only use a little glue, it’s hot and a little goes a long way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

TOP TIPS!<\/strong> Layer the leaves up until you cannot see any more of the white,
overlap them slightly so as to create depth to the wreath ring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Make sure to decide on where you want to put the items before hand so that you don’t make a mistake when gluing.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What You Need<\/strong>

Wreath Base – Wicker or Rattan or Wood Sticks
Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
Decorations or Naturally Sourced Dried Out Items (like Pinecones) or Both!

Where I Bought From<\/strong>

I did a Nature Foraging Walk with my son.
I got the wooden pieces like owls and leaves and the artificial leaves from The Works in their craft part of the store.
I got the Rattan Wreaths from eBay.
I got the Glue Gun and Sticks from Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
