Simple, yet stunning, fall wreath

A few weeks back I saw this simple wreath at my craft store and thought, “Hmm. I could make my own hybrid wreath!” So that set the wheels in motion in my head of what I wanted the wreath to look like. I was so happy to see that Kelleigh offered a cutting files version of… leaves! Perfect for a fall wreath!

Supplies

• Autumn Leaves Template Set and Cutting Files, Kelleigh Ratzlaff
• Wreath
• Ribbon
• Felt flowers
• Glue gun
• Pop dots

Directions

• The first thing I did was dress up the wreath with satin burgundy ribbon. I chose this color to give the wreath the bold fall colors I’m looking for. I only wrapped a portion of my wreath just to give some color behind the leaves.

• I then cut out my leaves on the Cricut using the Sure-Cuts-Alot software.
• Next I crumbled up some of the leaves so that I could glue them on a leaf that I didn’t crumble to give it more depth.

• Now for the fun! Using your glue gun glue the leaves, felt flowers, and buttons to your wreath. I don’t know about you but I love my glue gun. I want to replace all of my adhesives with it.

• After you’ve done gluing all that on you.are.finished. See? Easy, right?
