DIY: Artificial Wreath

I have been meaning to make an artificial wreath for my back door for ages. I recently got around to making one and it's super easy.

I picked up the plain base wreath for £3.50 from a local haberdashery shop. However the artificial flowers were £12 for a bunch. These were more expensive than I was expecting, and I think you can buy cheaper ones but they can be a bit plastic looking. I only used about a third of the bunch. 

I basically tried and tested until I found a placement I liked. I was surprised at the simplicity of it. You can literally poke the stems through the woven base, and if you don't like it, pull it out again and start over. It took a few attempts but I'm really pleased with the outcome. 

The great thing about making your own wreath is you can change them around with the season. I don't know about you but the weathers changing pretty quickly around here and it's already starting to feel a lot like autumn so I'm going to start planning an autumn wreath, I'm thinking amber leaves and moss. So watch out for my next wreath blog. Then there's the Christmas wreath...
