With a rustic touch, vibrant colors, and a touch of whimsy, this wreath is the perfect way to welcome the autumn season into your home.

Ingredients

  • 18- inch grapevine wreath form
  • 12 bunches of Dollar Tree mums gold, light pink, and orange
  • Off-White Eucalyptus bunches 2 from Dollar Tree
  • Dollar Tree wooden birdhouse
  • White Paint Waverly white chalk paint
  • Paint Brush
  • Hot Glue Gun/ glue sticks
  • Wire cutters
  • Moss floral section at Dollar Tree

  • Scissors

Instructions

  • Begin by painting the small birdhouse with the white chalk paint. Apply 2 coats for full coverage, allowing it to dry between coats.
  • While the birdhouse is drying, use wire cutters to trim the mums. Leave a couple of inches on the bottom of the flowers. Save the leftover leaves for later use.
  • Alternate the colors of the mums and attach them to the grapevine wreath using hot glue. Apply hot glue around the base of the flower and press firmly onto the wreath. Cover the wreath with mums, leaving about 5-6 inches open for the birdhouse to fit.
  • Trim the off-white eucalyptus into smaller sections using wire cutters. Add a line of hot glue and place them strategically around the wreath. Repeat this process with some of the leftover leaves to create a lush and dimensional look.
  • Once the birdhouse is completely dry, add hot glue to the roof and press moss onto the top. Apply ample hot glue to the back of the birdhouse and press it onto the grapevine wreath. Add additional flowers or leaves to the sides to fill any gaps.
  • Craft a simple bow using burlap and lace ribbon, securing it with twine. Attach the bow to the grapevine wreath using hot glue.
  • Apply a small amount of hot glue to the bottom of the bird and place it on the birdhouse.
