Hello! I’ve seen a lot of the gold hoop wreaths around and wanted to try to make one! I usually make some kind of wreath in the fall, so it was a perfect time.  You can also call this the day of Hobby Lobby --  I was at Hobby Lobby (keep reading) and didn’t even know what to call the metal ring for the wreath and a nice employee pointed me in the right direction towards the macrame/craft section and I got me a steel hoop. I spray painted it gold because gold just feels more autumn to me.

Here are the supplies I used with the links at Hobby Lobby, but you could probably find something similar at any craft store.

-Steel Ring

- Eucalyptus bush, I cut it in half

- Small pumpkins

- Dried flowers

- Wheat/grass – I actually didn’t end up using it

I just used florist wire to attach the eucalyptus and the dried flowers but the pumpkins I kind of glued together, they were really such a pain to cluster together. I know you can come up with a better way!!

I was going to put it outside but it’s pretty delicate so I kept it in the entry way. I wanted a little accent table lamp and Target came through for $10 – it doesn’t look clear on the website but they are and come with the shade.

Just a simple little fall wreath to get me in the mood for some changing weather – I was actually chilly on Monday morning and it was so refreshing!

AND, as I was linking I saw that Hobby Lobby has FREE SHIPPING TODAY ONLY on $59 or more! This is really rare so if you’ve been looking at anything there to buy online, jump on it! Here are some that caught my eye and YES they totally have Christmas out so I included a few of those – I couldn’t help it, they were right there on the end of the aisles!

Here are the links on Hobby Lobby:

We gave them to our graduating seniors and they have loved them – a great going to college gift.
