September is officially here! Not only does September mean the leaves will begin to change, but also that the holidays are creeping close by! Now that Andy and I live in our own house, I plan to decorate to the FULLEST for every holiday. (These are the fun & exciting things you get to look forward to after marriage ;))
After I sat around the house today enjoying watching the Gators LOSE to Miami, I decided to head to Micheal's Crafts to find the perfect Fall wreath for our front door. Well to my surprise, those wreaths are ridiculously priced! I am not paying $40 for a wreath that I could make myself! I mean come on people, Pinterest!
SO after an hour of wandering the aisles and throwing random items into my cart, I believe I managed to design a pretty nifty wreath.
I am NOT a crafty person, so I made sure to make this SUPER simple and easy. Below are the four easy steps...

1) Collect all your items-
-Fake flowers/leaves
-Wreath
-Glue Gun
-Letter Cut Out

2) Cut Stems Shorter-
Cutting them a bit shorter makes it easier to shove into the wreath later and help avoid the stems sticking out of the back.

3) Glue Cut Out Letter-
Place the letter a bit off center. The leaves will be going on the opposite site.
PS. Ignore the orange ribbon mess. I decided to X that out asap.
You could also paint the letter cut out, but that is a bit too much work for me ;)

4) Shove Leaves Into The Wreath-
Simply placing the leaves on the opposite side of your letter is the final step (no glue needed! The stems slip right into the wreath). Move them around until they are organized to your liking.
If the stems are poking all the way through the back, just bend them in.
NOW YOUR DONE!
