FALL WREATH

Oh I am sooooo ready for fall that I am doing everything I can to encourage it!  I am already replacing some of my summer decor with some fall happiness.
You know I love an easy project and this little wreath sure was a quick one.
 Anytime I can fit all of my supplies for a project onto a paper plate, you know I'm a happy girl!
 My supplies in this case are a mini grapevine wreath, some Tacky Glue (you know I love that stuff), fall colored beads, a piece of ribbon and some paint chip leaves.  
(The paint chip leaves I had left over from THIS project.  I knew I would use more if I had them, so I punched out several that day.)
Using some Tacky Glue, I put them on the bottom of the wreath.  It probably took me longer to decide how I wanted them arranged than it took me to do the whole project!  
Once I had them on, the rest of the project went really quickly.  I added some fall colored beads.

I like to kind of tuck them into the grapevines to give my wreath some depth.  
I added a ribbon and as an afterthought, I put one little gem on the center wreath and this project was finished.
I now have a little fall decor in my kitchen to help me think about cooler weather ahead.  I kind of like it hanging above that shelf with my Scrabble tiles and a few faux fall flowers.  

Linking up to any or all of these fine parties:

  4. Danni this little wreath is darling and the colors you used in leaves and beads are so cheerful. I'm not quite done with summer but ours has come very late. Compared to everywhere else we were very cool here. I do love fall for all that it brings though! Loving the little scrabble tiles too. I have an old scrabble game and need to just pull it out and use it like this!

  5. Oh Danni, you make me want to go out and play in the leaves :) Fall is by far my favorite season of the whole year! I just wish it would last a little longer before turning cold..

    Again, I love the scrabble tiles! Too cute!

  10. Please, Danni, don't rush - is it really time for fall stuff? I have got to get busy. I bought some foam pumpkins to paint, but have not started. Is that a paper punch you used for the leaves? Love the colors. I just need to know where did you put your beach?

  11. Hello darling Danni, i have been away for too long, this is the third time i am trying to leave a comment. hopefully this one makes it :-).
    love your fall wreath. the colors are gorgeous! Can so understand that you are ready for some cooler weather! Fall always used to be my favorite season, although here it only marks the end of the rains for another 8 months, so not too keen on it anymore...
    wish you a wonderful day!

  12. Oh, Danni, when do you have the time to... stay ahead of the time?! Not only your happy wreath makes me jealous, but now I'm panicking that not even in October will I ever be ready, like you are now. I am in constant awe with your sweet creativity :)

  19. What a cute fall vignette, Danni! Your wreath looks great and of course I love that the leaves are made from paint chips. The added beads are the perfect finishing touch :)
