Fall and Halloween Wreath

Fall is my favorite season for many reasons--Delicious Orchards apple cider doughnuts, pumpkin craft beer, Halloween and Thanksgiving, true running weather, The Hunt, sweaters, jeans, hoodies and sweats, the leaves, apple pie, FOOTBALL... I could go on and on. Anyway, point is I get ridiculously excited about fall. So to prepare I decided to make this simple wreath. I saw it all over the Internet, so I'm not entirely sure who to credit! 

I bought heavy felt from JoAnns on sale for $2.99. You'll also need a foam wreath form in the size of your choice; I did 12"  and you'll need some dress pins. 

Basically, you cut the felt into 3 inch rounds and fold it twice. Once in half and then in half again. Stick a pin in the bottom so you connect all 4 layers and then stick the pin into the foam. It's a lot of cutting of circles, but it's rather meditative. I like the orange because it can go for fall and then transition into Halloween with a spider and then transition into Thanksgiving with a turkey. I will also make a green one for Christmas and St. Patrick's! 



I also would like to try and make one of of dyed coffee filters or cupcake liners or newspaper or magazine... So many options!
