How craft stores charge $40-50 dollars for these wreaths is beyond me. It’s so cheap to DIY, and takes all of $5, a glue gun, and 5 minutes. So here’s a simple Thanksgiving wreath tutorial to jazz up your front door.
Rather than skipping over Thanksgiving and moving onto Christmas gifts, cookies, and crafts, oh my, I will relish a little in all that is November. After my epic Halloween interior decorating, I’m keeping my turkey day decor a wee bit more low key.
-a wreath form*
-gold ribbon {on sale for $3 for 12 yards}
-various clearance harvest picks**
-hot glue gun
-five minutes
-Sid the Science Kid to occupy your children
*I reuse this over and over…
** on sale for 70% off. Spent $2!
1.) Wrap wreath form with ribbon. Secure with sewing pins.
2.) Cut apart harvest picks and arrange on the lower corner of wreath.
3.) Hot glue.
4.) Stand on your wet and cold porch in bare feet to photograph for the crafty blogosphere to see.
Once I clear off this hot mess of a counter, I have three more Thanksgiving projects coming your way:
-A simple vignette
-Our Thanksgiving ABC wall
-Our grateful tree.
I have enough leftover material to make one for my mother-in-law.
So really, two wreaths on the cheap.
