Super simple fall wreath – I created this in one episode of Grimm (are you watching that show?   You totally should be!) using only materials I already had on hand.

Start with a wreath form made from a pool noodle, as in this post here.

I used two different fabrics; one a rust colored burlap, and a fall colored plaid cotton.  If you don’t have fabric on hand already and need to buy some, you shouldn’t need more than 1/4 yard of each.  Cut the fabric into strips, about 2-3 inches wide and just long enough to wrap around the wreath form.

I liked the look of the end that shows being frayed, so I pulled threads out of one long side.

Wrap a strip around the wreath form and hot glue down both ends.  Now wrap around a strip of the other fabric, slightly overlapping the first, and hot glue.

Continue this all the way around until the whole form is covered.

Cut out a few leaves and make some rolled fabric flowers to embellish – I used them to cover the area where my strips met back up because I thought it looked a little messy.  I didn’t include a tutorial on the flowers here.  Google “rolled fabric flower” and you’ll find tutorials galore.  Mine aren’t even sewn; they are just hot glued on the bottom, then pressed onto the wreath.

Cut two more strips of fabric – one wider than the other – and loop them around the top of the wreath.  Tie a knot, letting the ends flop down, and hang on the door.
