Happy Autumnal Equinox Day!

IT'S THE FIRST DAY OF FALL!
Have I ever mentioned before that I am not a summer kind of person. I love fall and winter. Everything about it. The holidays, the clothes, the recipes and hearing the leaves crunch when you walk. I love wearing scarves, boots, and warm clothes. 

I haven't done any of the fall crafts that I have in mind for the house yet. I will be doing that this weekend. You guys will be the first to see.


Have you added fall decor to your house yet? What is your favorite part about fall? Or are you a summer person?

Been there. Pinned it. Did that. | Fall Wreath Tutorial


It's finally fall. Even though it's October and still 80's degrees outside. It's time to decorate around the house. And what do people see the most when you decorate? Your front door! Because your definitely not coming inside our home without a 24 hour notice that way I can clean to my standards. There is nothing worse then showing your house and  saying "ignore that please". Our spare bedroom was that way when we first moved in because I didn't want to unpack anymore or worse yet see a box. Anyways back on topic I decided to make a fall wreath for this Friday's DIY blog.

I am going to try to blog every week a DIY project Damon and I are doing around the house. More than likely it will be every other week.

I found a letter "L" at Hobby Lobby, which just opened up in our town on Wednesday. You should have seen me. It was like taking a kid into Toys R Us. The letter was $4.99. I chose to paint it red because of fall colors and if I wanted to use it for Christmas. I could!


I found the twig wreath was $8.99 but I have a 40% off coupon on that item and the burlap $3.99 at Hobby Lobby as well. After letting the painting dry I hot glued the letters onto the twig wreath. And tied a bow at the top of the wreath with the burlap.

I didn't have a picture of the floral arrangement before I put them onto the wreath. They were just basic fake flower bundle that every craft store has. Even the Dollar Tree or Walmart has them. I went to Michael's craft store because they had a huge fall floral selection and everything was 60% off for fall arrangements. I just placed the bundle in between the twigs. I didn't have to hot glue them down just because they stayed in place.
And that's it! Fairly easy!
