autumn welcome

as a pinterest addict I decided that I had to make an autumn wreath.  The yarn was the best way to go in my opinion, so I hit up the local hobby lobby to see what I could find.  I didn't really have a plan in mind.  I was thinking yarn or burlap.

some inspiration

I found some cheap yarn that was simple with a touch of detail.  Then I found a wooden W to paint.  I hit up the seasonal to find some fall leaves (I used a floral pick).  I had already picked up a Styrofoam circle- but wasn't happy with the size.  When I went to the floral department I found a straw wreath (which had been recommended) for less! 

the step by step from the inspiration

I brought it home and was surprised to find that hubby wanted to get to work on it!  He wrapped the yarn, and I painted the W.  (yes, he did way more work than me)  Finally it was time for the hard part- how to arrange it. 

I tried this way and that way.  Hubby tried a few other ways.  He decided he wanted more fall foliage on it- so back to hobby lobby we went!  He picked it out, and arranged it.  All I did was glue it down!!

The results are epic.  I am pretty excited about keeping this one!
