Fall Wreath Pumpkins and Scarecrow

 So cute huh! Pretty easy 1 day project. I found ideas for both the pumpkins and the scarecrow on Pinterest but I made it into a wreath! The pumpkins and the scarecrow are made of toilet paper tubes!! I had all the supplies I needed already on hand, which makes my hubby happy. Not all items you need are shown. For this project you will need:

For the wreath:

• 1 large piece of cardboard (I used a pizza box lid)
• 1 12x12 piece of fall colors scrapbook paper
• Tape and/or glue
• Scissors
• Something 12 inches round you can trace (I used that wire wreath form)
• Pencil

For the pumpkins:

• 4 toilet paper tubes 4 1/2 inches long
• Orange paint and paint brush
• Green card stock
• Craft wire, green
• Sissors
• Ruler
• Glue
• Wire cutter

For the scarecrow:

• Toilet paper tube any size
• Popsicle stick
• Muffin cup
• Construction paper (I used wall paper samples because I have them)
• Masking tape
• Glue
• Scissors
• Markers

 I started by cutting out the toilet paper tubes for the pumpkins. Cut them 3/4 inch you should be able to get 6 rings for 3 pumpkins out of this. Cut 2 slits halfway down each ring as shown.

 Assemble by interlocking the 2 pieces at the slits together as shown. This gets kind of tedious but keep at it! 

Next I got my little helper to paint the pumpkins. Make sure do get all the ins and outs and all sides. We got a little messy but that's part of the fun! While the paint dried I cut out the stems and leaves. The stems are 3/4 inch wide by 1 1/2 inches long. The leaves I cheated and used my Cricut because I tried to freehand it and they looked horrible. I bent the paper to look like a stem and glued it to the pumpkins.While the glue dried I cut the craft wire about 5-6 inches. I folded it in half and curled 1 end with a pencil. I poked it through the pumpkin and the stem for stability then I curled the other end. On a few of them I added the leaves. 

I made the wreath part by tracing the insides of wire wreath form onto cardboard inner and outer rings and cut it out. I traced my paper with the outsides of the wreath form inner and outer rings so it was just a little bit larger than the cardboard. I folded the paper over the edges of the cardboard and taped it down to the backside of the wreath. For the inner ring I had to cut several slits before folding and taping it down on the backside. 

Using the directions from the linked site below. For the scarecrow I Cut 2 slits down your Toilet paper roll, opposite each other and about 1/2 way down the roll. I Slid the Popsicle stick into the slits. Wrapped the top 1/3 of the roll with masking tape (to make the scarecrows face, and to keep the TP roll together). Cut a strip of yellow construction paper about 5" X 11/2" big. Cut fringe at either end. Fold it to fit the top of the TP roll and glue on. Once your Scarecrow's hair is on go ahead and draw on a face and glue on your muffin cup hat. Add a little more color by cutting out small square patches for your Scarecrow. I made a cute little shirt and overalls with patches for my scarecrow. I also added a couple of little extra pieces of the straw hair into the sleeves to look like straw coming out. 

To attach the scarecrow I cut 2 slits up the bottom sides and slid it onto the wreath. I glued all the pumpkins to the wreath. I added a piece of craft wire by hooking it just a little under to the front side and put tape over it in the back so it wont scratch my door. I love how it turned out! If you have any questions or comments please to hesitate to ask below!

Easter Wreath

 What you will need:

Oval wreath
Cute plastic eggs
Green Easter grass (mine was paper)
Sparkly Easter grass
Wire
Wire cutters
Glue gun and glue
Cute happy Easter sign (I has this already)
Ribbon
Scissors

Steps:

Take your heated glue gun and spread a lot of glue in one area, quickly take a small handful of green grass and cover area pressing firmly. Repeat this step until all of front is covered in green grass. Do this step again with a little sparkly grass. Add a good size dab of glue to the back of the plastic egg and press onto grass firmly. Repeat with remaining eggs. Use a piece of wire or glue to secure "Happy Easter" sign to wreath. Tie ribbon through a piece of wreath at the top and make a bow to hang it with . Take your scissors and cut long or out of place pieces of grass. Some of the grass will shed off as you pick it up so watch out. Ta Da! Super cute wreath!

Spring Wreath

I copied this from another pintrester.

I did do a couple of things different to make it cheaper. I used a wicker wreath I picked up at the dollar store, they didn't have foam ones and the foam ones in other stores cost to much. But the wicker was kinda tricky to put the pins in. I also got the flowers at the dollar store but after it was all said and done I like the variety of my flowers but the look of hers (from a flower ribbon) better. I didn't make the cute little sign "bare feet welcome" and I used a wreath hook instead of ribbon. It didn't turn out perfect but I'm satisfied with it :)

Winter Wreath

Not the best photo I already put it in storage before I got a picture of it. This was a simple, cheap (didn't cost me a thing because I had all the materials) project and super fun. There are 10 stars I made from old cereal boxes here's where I found the instructions on how to make the stars:

I only made them one sided. I covered them with scrapbook paper, wrapping paper and velum with glitter on it. I used mod-podge to glue the paper on them. What you can't see is a flat cardboard wreath I cut out from a pizza box. I traced a little circular garbage can for the wreath base. Then I used Elmers glue to glue on the shiny pieces you see all around. They are made from a balloon holder I no longer needed I got from the dollar store. I let that dry then I glued on the stars with Elmers as well. A little tricky but it worked. I added a string loop to the back to hang it and voila! My beautiful winter wreath. I think I might make another one like it for 4th of July!
