Fall Wreath on a Budget

I have been wanting to make a wreath for our front door

and pretend like it is Fall outside. 

Since I am married to a graduate student...

decorating is not the highest priority on my husband's budget. 

I looked at a lot of different ideas on Pinterest

and I came up with this gem...

Supplies: 

Wreath(preferably straw, covered in plastic wrap) $3.99

Yarn $3.99

Glue- I used wood because I already had it.

Felt squares 5/$1.00

ribbon $0.50

Wreath hanger (normally I would just nail it in but our door isn't wood) $3.99

total: $13.50

(Everything was purchased at Michael's)

First. 

Wrap the wreath in yarn. 

I used a brush and spread the plastic wrap with glue

then wrapped the yarn.

 Don't be fooled by this step, it took me 1.5 hours

Next.

Decorate however you'd like. 

I did felt flowers.

Cut the felt in a circle, then make curly-cues (see below)

Then wrap it around itself into a flower.

Apply the flowers with glue.

I just used wood glue here too.

Final product. 

I am excited to put it on the front door.

And pretend there are lots of fall leaves outside!
