You may be thinking I’m a little obsessed with wreaths.  Well, you are right, because I love wreaths!

In fact, the girls were studying fall, and I just came up with this one when we were playing in the leaves.

First, take a big piece of cardboard and measure out the size of your wreath

Arrange them however you wish... use as many or as few leaves as you want! Glue leaves on, and press firmly

Now, I know this craft won’t win any prizes, but it was quick and fun, and definitely frugal! I used items I already had at home.

If I were “planning” this craft, I would have purchased brown material, added a brown ribbon, and made felt letters to spell the word, “fall,” to hang from the bottom of the wreath.

The girls really enjoyed this project, and if you need a quick and easy fall-themed craft, here it is!  {Plus, it is cute to hang anywhere!}
