My original idea was to do a fall wreath that centered around sunflowers. I absolutely love sunflowers and I loved all the examples I had found on Pinterest.
I absolutely loved the reds, yellows, and oranges of all the wreaths, but what I really liked was the letter! I knew I was going to incorporate that into my own wreath somehow... |
Originally I had bought a small wreath from Target for $2.50 and thought that would be sufficient. I soon realized that such a tiny wreath would look ridiculous on my outside door and I needed something a little bit bigger.
I used wire to hold my flowers, cranberries, and letter in place. Some people used hot glue for theirs but I felt like the wire held everything better for me. I'm very happy with how it turned out!
Okay...let's see the cost breakdown:
Grapevine Wreath: $3.00 (originally $5 but I used a 40% off coupon)
Cranberries: $3.00 (Originally $5 but it was on sale for 40% off. I bought two)
Flowers in vase: $2.60 (original price was $12.99 but I got it at 80% off!)
Other flowers: $5.00
Wire: $0.99
Letter: $1.99
TOTAL: $19.58
I wanted to try to stay under $20 and I definitely accomplished that! It is so rewarding knowing that I got a great deal on a lot of the items I used and that I am going to be able to use the wreath for (hopefully) years to come!
Next up, a Christmas wreath! I'm already planning it out in my head and hope that it turns out just as good as my fall wreath. Maybe even better!
