Wreaths are a great way to add holiday festivity and it can be so simple and quick, even if you don't consider yourself 'crafty.' I have a plain grapevine wreath that I dressed up with a wooden pumpkin hanging in the middle. It was a very simple craft and it will be very easy to swap it out when fall is over.
Items needed:
- Americana Decor Outdoor Living 8oz - Harvest
- Americana Decor Outdoor Living 8oz - Picket Fence
- Americana Decor Outdoor Living 8oz - Iron Gate
- Walnut Hollow Wood Pallet Pumpkin
- Twine
- Drill
- Sandpaper
Instructions:
Mix the two paints together in a 5:1 ratio, with white being the higher ratio. Paint the wood pumpkin with this color. Let it dry.
)
Paint another coat in the Picket Fence color. Let it dry.
)
Free hand the phrase 'Happy Fall Y'all!' with a pencil (it's a good idea to practice on paper first and draw your perimeters for the words on the pumpkin.)
)
Using a fine paintbrush, paint the words in black.
Sand the pumpkin until it's smooth and distressed.
Drill a hole in the stem and thread the twine through it. Tie the pumpkin onto the wreath.
)
Hang your new fall wreath on your front door and enjoy!
