Leaf Wreath

Happy fall everyone! Fall is my favorite time of year and seems to go by the fastest out of all the seasons. For that reason, I got a little excited this year and made my fall decor back in August, ha! I cannot claim this idea as my own, but I can give pointers if you are wanting to do it yourself.

I saw a monogram leaf wreath on Pinterest (shocker) and had to make one of my own!

Supplies:
-Paper mache letter
-Hot glue gun
-Packs of leaves (I bought about 6 packs from JoAnn's)
-Ribbon to hang

I started off using Elmer's spray adhesive as I had read from another blogger and ended up one big, sticky mess. Not only that but I found that the adhesive worked well at first but over time the leaves were falling off. I would definitely recommend using hot glue as that seems to have stood the test of time.

Unfortunately I did not take pictures of the process, but it's fairly straightforward. Just hot glue your leaves onto the letter, making sure to cover all the paper mache. Once the letter is completely covered, you can add your ribbon of choice to the back for hanging purposes.

...and voila!

 

 

I love adding holiday/seasonal decorations to our door and seeing them as I pull in or out from our garage. Have you made any fun fall decorations?
