DIY -make your own fall wreath-

My post was supposed to be ready yesterday, but i didn't have time to actually make a wreath. So i waited for today to make one :) Here we go...

You will need:

- a styrofoam wreath

- pins

- scissors (and if you like pinking shears for the fabric)

- fabric (i used an old fleece blanket)

Cut the fabric in slices and roll it on to your

wreath. Make sure that there are no blank

spots in between and that it covers your wreath.

Confirm the end and if you like the beginning with

a pin. Now you have the basis of your wreath.

Instead of using a ribbon i made a crochet one

Now it depends on what sort of wreath you

would like to make! Maybe you want to make

a pompom wreath or a polaroid one... I started

making polaroids that are fall inspired but i only

have a few so far... So i decided to make a wreath

with felt leafs. It's also possible to make one with paper

leafs! I used felt in the colors: orange,

green, red and brown. I usually start cutting all

kinds of shapes, but if your not comfy that way,

just use a marker and draw leafs before you cut

them out ;) Use good scissors!

a collection of my leafs

i first used these shaped leafs

and then i used the other shaped

leafs to fill the whole wreath

i secured them with a pin and

made sure that you can't see

the pins on top.

i found some cute fall brads in my stash,

that i decided to use

i used them to secure two leafs together.

I used all the other leafs to fill

the wreath just the way i like it!

I only filled the front, but if you

like you can also fill the sides too.

Have fun wreath making!

DIY Sunday: paper napkin wreath

Hello everyone!

It's Sunday and Sunday means DIY-day :) So here's a new and very easy DIY for you:

This cute wreath is made from colourful paper napkins... Try it, it's easy and fun!

You will need a wreath, paper napkins in at least 2 different colours, pins and scissors.

Take a napkin and cut a circle from it.

You will actually get 4 circles (because the napkin is folded ^^)

Now fold one circle to the middle.

And then again to the middle.

See?!

Repeat and wrap your second folded circle around the first one.

Like this.

Fold them.

And use a pin to fix it to your wreath.

Now, pull the layers all the way around...

I think you get the idea of what I am talking about ;)

I used different sizes of circles and different colours to get a cuter look.

Now, be creative with different shapes and colours and styles of your napkin flowers and hang your wreath where it looks cute! :)

Happy crafting,

Katja
