So if you haven't been in Hobby Lobby lately, you probably haven't seen all of their Fall and Christmas stuff they've had up since June. If you have, and your'e like me, it's really tempting. I love Fall and Christmas and love making decorations.
Any-who, I decided to make a Fall Deco-Mesh Wreath. I got the 24" wreath frame and 2 spools of brown Deco-Mesh that were 5" wide. Then came the fun part, the picks and leaves!
Guesstimating the amount of picks I would need, I ended up with about 30, which may be a few too many but, I like my wreaths extra full. Almost everything I grabbed was from the "Fall" section, but I did grab two floral stems since they were 50% off. The whole thing ended up being right around $70.
I put the wreath together and probably could have used another spool of Deco-Mesh, but I spread it a little thin, and made it last. Then I started weaving the leaves into the wreath, following with the picks. Don't be afraid to put things close together, it helps fill in the gaps left by the Deco-Mesh.
All in all, it took about 2 hours but it was totally worth it to get a wreath that had everything I wanted in it, including the cutest little Turkey!
