Fall Leaf Wreath

This was the inspiration for my wreath, 

by my hero: Martha Stewart.

Here is the link to how to make the above

wreath. Make sure you watch the video!

My version of the wreath.

Supplies you will need for the paper leaves,

*as noted in the Martha Stewart tutorial.

TIPS: Paste over scrap paper or newspaper, change

the sheet out after it gets too sticky.

Have a damp wash cloth near so you can wipe

the sticky glue off to avoid frustrations.

*this part is really tedious and I am unsure

if I would ever do this particular project again!

Items you need to bundle leaves in preparation

for the wreath. In Martha Stewart's version

her real-leaf to paper-leaf ratio is a lot less.

I used more real leaves than paper leaves

for a more full wreath effect.

The wreath in progress....I ran out of both real and

fake leaves the first night.

Finishing touch! I used used floral wire on the back

of the bow to affix it to the wreath.

The paper leaves are really quite delicate, and

I am unsure the wreath would survive a windstorm

(I would bring it inside). But since 

I have a covered porch, I decided I wanted to

display it outside. 

Happy November!
