Homemade Fall Wreath

I have always wanted to have a fall wreath to hang on the front door, however every year by the time I start looking at Autumnal themed wreaths, fall has passed and it's already x-mas.

I bought my x-mas wreath several years ago. It is a Martha Stewart Everyday brand wreath from Kmart. The wreath has frosty fake snow and is stringed with white lights. to this day I have not had to replace a single bulb. I like that all the things I buy from Martha Stewart always have some recipe or idea. I got some bows last year that said the first Christmas card appeared in London in 1843, however sending holiday cards did not become popular in the United States until the 1870s.

So this year I decided no matter what I was going to have a fall wreath. I looked at some stores but did not like the prices. I could wait until after Thanksgiving when they would likely be discounted but by then it's time to put the x-mas stuff up.

Looking through my decorating stuff and found I had several fall garlands that I used last year for work that I was not using this year. I got my crafty gloves on and cut a circle out of a cardboard box and then spray painted it. I cut up several of the garlands into smaller usable pieces and then hot glued them onto the cardboard box. The finished wreath looked awesome.
