Autumnal Front Door Decor. . .

I'm embarrassed to say,
it was only this past week that I removed my Summer wreath on my Front Porch.

Since returning from our Annual Trout Fishing Trip to Bennett Spring State Park,
I've attended classes, meetings, lunch dates out. . .the list goes on.



Finally,
an Autumnal Front Door Decor for On Crooked Creektt's Front Porch!

Finding the correct size to enhance our lovely original 1970's front door,
I use the same twig wreath but change the design each Season.

* * * * * * * Tutorial * * * * * * *


For Autumn's design,
I've covered the twig wreath with a wide burlap stripe ribbon
purchased for less than $3.00 at Hobby Lobby. 




Beginning at the top,
I inserted the end of a subtle hued leaf and berry garland
draping it down the left side and securing as I went with hot glue.



Next,
I inserted the gold hued miniature mums. 

Then,
I tucked in some purple hued grains picks 
and randomly hot glued three copper and gold wooden leaves.



I finished it off with a single gold rose.

As the crisp mornings and chilly evenings fill the air On Crooked Creektt,
I'm thrilled to be able to, once again, open the door for natural light.

Until next time. . .

Beautiful wreath for autumn, Pat. You are so creative and great with a frugal approach, which I love! Wreaths like what you've made can be so expensive ready-made.

Hi Pat. Your wreath is darling. I'd love it if you would share this at Monday Social. Your fishing trip sounds amazing too.
