This Great Fall Life: Wreath #3

Continuing with my love of burlap, following my bubble wreath, I thought that the pictures in our hall bath should be seasonally swapped with a more "fall" visual appeal.  And I'm big on wreaths now, so that's what I went with.

I like to periodically check out Craftaholics Anonymous, which is where I found this.  I like that blog, mainly because it always has tutorials for things that are pretty simple and mindless that I can do while we watch TV and hang out at night.  And this was no different.  Easy and relatively quick.  I pretty much followed the tutorial with the exception of having to dye some of the burlap.  Rit dye is a favorite craft material of mine because it's just particularly useful for a variety of things.  Not that I use it a ton, but I always love it when I do.  So that's how I got purple burlap.  Turns out that colored burlap is hard to come by in the store.  Who knew.  Anyway, here's some progress pictures:

Hot glued burlap strips

I did this Clemson style in honor of football season's part in fall

Buttons wrapped in fabric.  I thought this looked good with plain buttons too.


And the final product
