fall wreath 2010

like any good DIY-er,

i can't just simply buy holiday decor.

it has to be original! it has to be crafty!

let's be real: it has to be cheap :)

i was happy with last year's 

but wanted to go in a different direction this year.

anyway, here is this year's wreath:

to make it, i simply wrapped different colors 

of burlap & fabric around a wreath form.

next, i cut strips of fabric and bunched them 

into the form of flowers

and topped them off with shiny tacks.

the final touches were acorn bells 

which wrapped around the wreath with twine.

of course, all fall crafts must be done

with a pumpkin spice candle 

warming the apartment with it's familiar

autumn smell wafting through the air.
