Creations, Early Fall Wreath
Here is a super easy door decoration to whip up as the summer winds down. Here in the South it will be hot for weeks and weeks yet, so we move a little slower with the fall decor.
I found this wreath in the spring clearance section at Hobby Lobby. It didn’t look very Spring-like to me, but it would definitely perfect for Fall!
I tend to pick things up when I see them and like them, often with no plan in mind~I was so happy I had this today to make a fast and easy wreath. You could easily recreate this look with a grapevine wreath and some colorful ribbon or raffia.
Our “fiesta” party is this weekend, and I needed something, pronto, for the front door. There is so much going on inside the house I decided to keep the front door simple.
I had some burlap ribbon too…it’s a good idea to stock up on ribbon when it’s 50% off at HL…
To make the burlap “beard” make poofs by gathering a few inches of burlap ribbon and securing it with a small length of florist’s wire, then move down the ribbon a few inches and repeat until you have as much “poofed” ribbon as you need
I hate to be predictable so I only added the burlap at the bottom, sort of like a “beard.” Just attach the burlap to the wreath with some more wire under the poofs so it doesn’t show
Then with a big faux sunflower tucked in, [and secured with wire], the wreath looked just right!
Sunflowers are a predominant part of this party decor as well as a popular late summer decorating choice so this sunflower wreath is going to be perfect! The wreath is like a little preview of what lies behind the door, and it can display the party invite that lets guests know they are in the right place.
After the party, I can easily remove the invitation and the door will be all set for the next few weeks until something else ~like our Alabama football wreath~ goes up!
Don’t you love an excuse to redecorate for a new season? Thanks so much for your visit!

Oh, you are getting an early start on fall….good for you. The invitation looks very inviting with those drinks in their hands♥
I love this fall wreath! I think burlap (or burlap-related materials) are so gorgeous year round, but in the fall they are especially eye-grabbing 🙂
Wow! I love this wreath! I haven’t been to Hobby Lobby in far too long. I need to make a trip now and then. I love those half off ribbon sales!
Jenna, I LOVE your wreath! How clever to add the invitation to it for the party. The burlap, along with that sunflower and the colorful straw, make it a perfect wreath for Fall and for a Fiesta! Great job! laurie
Gorgeous!! I love this wreath:)
Your wreath is a perfect base for your fiesta party invitation and later on too Jenna! I picked up some of that some ribbon at HL 🙂
