Autumn Wreaths

Pam and I set out to go to the craft store to search for cute fall decorations for our porches. We saw a beautiful fall wreath but it cost an unbelievable $49.99!! Now, neither of us were going to pay that much money for a wreath, so we decided to make our own!
At Michaels (craft store) we saw plain twig wreaths on sale for $4.99, a perfect canvas to customize our own wreaths! We purchased various flowers and leaves, as well as a white wooden letter to personalize our wreaths. For BOTH wreaths and materials, including a glue gun, it cost us UNDER $20 each! Much better than $50!
All we did was glue all of our decorations on the twig wreath. See the pictures below.

TIP: When gluing the letter on, glue leaves to the wreath, then glue the letter on top to make sure it will stay on. Have fun!
