I bought a basic grapevine wreath at Michael’s for $9.99.
I splurged on two rolls of brown and gold glitter ribbon ($3.99 per roll) and this cute package of potpourri. I know, potpourri isn’t something you would normally use to make a wreath but the price was right at $5.99, plus the miniature pine cones and pumpkins were too cute to pass up! The bonus of using potourri is that my porch now smells like cinnamon.
I used my hot glue gun to adhere the ribbon to the back of the wreath and then I wrapped it all of the way around the wreath. I originally had it criss-crossing but I decided to keep it simple and just wrap every 3 inches.
Then, I hot glued the miniature pine cones on the right side of the wreath, layering them nicely on top of each other.
To finish it off I put the three tiny pumpkins together, I love how they add just a touch of color when you are up close.
The grand total for the wreath was $25 which is much cheaper than anything I would have been able to find out shopping. I am really happy with how it turned out and it has inspired me to start thinking of fun Christmas wreaths to make!

Very cute, Mandy! I bought the same bag of potpourri just yesterday- to mask the smell of Apple Cider Vinegar, lol. I'm in the midst of making my Halloween wreaths. Gotta love fall!!!
Love those little pumpkins on your wreath. Why don't you come and link to Seasonal Sundays? The link is open until late Monday night.

Love the wreath! Such a cute idea… I may have to try one for our house too!
I like the way you just accented the wreath instead of taking it all the way around. This is more unusual and a bit edgy.

Isn't that pretty?!
Thanks so much for being a part of Seasonal Sundays.

What a great wreath!! I love those pumpkins on there too- perfect touch! I love to buy that cinnamony potpourri too~ smells soo good! I'm having a decorating inspiration party- Feathered Nest Friday- if you want to join in- this is a great inspiring project!
You did a great job. That's something I could even do (I don't like crafts that are too elaborate.)
I REALLY love your wreath!!!
Just hopping over from Tatertots and Jello. LOVE this wreath! I think I have to make one now too! Did you get the potpourri at Michael's too?
Thanks for the inspiration!

See now I have to go make one too!!! I just need the kids to go back to school so I can start all my projects!
So cute! And using potpourri is so clever. You did a great job!
Congratulations!!! My friend and I used to make pinecone wreaths several years ago, but with the wire wreath frames. I like yours on the grapevine! After Halloween you can pop the pumpkins off, add some red berries and you are good to go through the Christmas season!! Visiting through Strut Your Stuff!
