fall collage wreath::

 Thanks to Christopher Columbus! Today, was a super day to finish my fall wreath I've been working on.Remember those leaves you've been seeing on here and facebook? Well, here's the finished wreath collage. I had all the supplies at home already including wreath form and burlap. In case you want to make one, here's what you'll need including easy step by step directions.

  Supplies:.1 wreath form ( any size)
                           .glue gun
                           .burlap cut in strips approx. 4 inches wide in
                            the length of the sack. I just cut.. as many as
                            needed as I went along.             
                           (used a corn sack that I cut for this project)
                           . vintage photos, cabinet cards, papers, post
                           .cards, bingo cards, ephemera, 
                           .fresh leaves from the outdoors in various
                            sizes, shapes.
                           .buttons, sewing notions, odds and ends
                           (used a vintage bow tie)
                           . dried flower pod. You can omit..
                            I just wanted to add a different texture here.
 Directions: This is a no sew project. Wrap burlap strips taut around wreath form. Wrap and glue till the whole wreath is completely covered in burlap. Trace different size leaves on postcards and paper from vintage books. Here is where you can be creative. Use whatever you like! Glue in place. I suggest that you design  and place items on the wreath before gluing. I also added a button and a sewing card. Again, be creative. Have fun!
   
   So, what did you create today? I hope you had a wonderful Columbus Day.
