I don't exactly consider myself a crafty person. I love to sew, but crafts don't typically get me that excited. However, I really wanted a new Fall wreath. I have a cute one, but it has seen better days. In the past, I would have said "no" to hot glue and "yes" to a brand new wreath from Target, but we are on a budget. I guess I should be thankful, because it was a lot more fun to create for $3 than to spend $20 on a new wreath and have buyer's remorse. I always have buyer's remorse. I really need to get over that because it really makes it no fun to shop!
So here is how it is done. Buy a straw wreath from a craft store. I got mine 50% off at Hobby Hobby for $1.75, collect a whole lot of acorns (a fun project for a little boy), get out your hot glue gun and start sticking. That is pretty much it.
If anyone has these cool acorns in their yard, I love this wreath from one of my favorite blogs.http://placetobloom.blogspot.com/2009/11/holiday-wreath-with-bloom-guest-dana.html
