The weather is finally cooling down a bit in South Texas and we even saw a little rain, could it be that Fall is really coming?
I was so lucky this weekend to have my Mom in town and we had a blast shopping, hanging out and really doing a whole lot of nothing. We decided it would be fun to make some fall wreaths so we headed to Michaels' and picked up a few essential supplies.
We each picked oval shaped twig wreaths, some berries and green moss for our wreaths. While on our shopping adventures of the weekend we were able to find some fantastic burlap ribbon at a farmer's market that we used to create big festive bows to dress up our wreaths. Both my Mom and myself used hot glue to keep the moss in the desired place, simple stuck in our berries and our burlap ribbon was rimmed with wire making it easy to bend to the desired bow shape. The whole wreath construction process only took about 30 minutes and we were both very pleased with how our wreaths turned out. Here is my Mom's...
I just love the bird burlap ribbon that she chose! The berries match perfectly. Here is my wreath...
Happy Fall everyone!
