A Festive Fall Wreath
This is another easy way to decorate for the Fall season! Plus, it was FREE. I had a leaf garland that I used to put on our fireplace mantle; however, we moved and I no longer have a mantle to decorate. So, how to use the garland? I had some floral wire that I wrapped around a cooking pot to make a circle. I did this 3 times around and then wrapped the wire around itself once to hold it all together, then created a loop at the top so it would be easy for hanging! Super simple.
Next step..take apart the garland.

Luckily, the set of 3 leaves on the garland already had wire attached to the bottom. This made the next step way too easy.

I took two segments of the leaves(6 leaves all together) stacked them on top of each other, then started wrapping them around the wire wreath form.

All around the wreath, you'll want overlap the leaf segments till you fill the entire wreath form! Finally, you'll want to fluff your wreath and make any adjustments before hanging it! I chose to hang mine over the mirror in our living room!

I love how it turned out. It looks so pretty for the Fall season. And, it was FREE!
