Although I'm sulking about the end of summer, it's time to suck in my pouting lower lip, and embrace the autumn. Nothing cheers me up like shopping, so I spent a little time on-line looking for a fall wreath, and found the following on Amazon:
Nice, eh? LOVED the colors and the sunflowers, so I
scrolled down to check out the price....
$189
Yes, I swear! (I heard you collectively say, "NO?!")
BUT, I loved the colors, and I liked the silk leaves. So I stole a little inspiration, and decided to make my own.
For under $10.
Yes, way! (I heard you all say, "No way!")
............Yeah, I need a nap.
Anyway, let me break this down for you:
- Grapevine 18" wreath ($4 at AC Moore, but I know they have them at dollar stores and sometimes Michael's for less)
- Small piece of burlap scrap (free-ish)
- 3 packages silk leaves ($3 total, 1$ each at the dollar store)
- 1 bunch silk sunflowers ($1 at the dollar store)
- Hot glue (free-ish)
All I did was use the hot glue to adhere them to the grapevine, and voila!
What do you think?

So, honestly ~ would you ever spend $189 on a wreath?
