Fall Wreath {DIY}

I had pinned a few pretty wreaths on Pinterest a while back, and never got around to researching more about them. When we knew we were buying a house, I really wanted to have a wreath ready to go for the front door (is it just me, or is that a Southern thing?). The inspiration wreath was for sale on Etsy, but at $85, I could think of many things I’d rather spend money on. My mom offered to make a similar one, so I obviously took her up on the offer! Here’s the main inspiration photo – click here for a tutorial on making the burlap wreath. 

We tried to copy the Etsy wreath closely, but had trouble finding the burlap patterned ribbon to make the bow. I recently found some on Etsy (who would’ve guessed…) but haven’t purchased it yet. I think it looks okay as-is, though! Here’s the finished wreath…minus the ribbon. I also think I’ll end up painting the ‘B’…just not sure if I want to do pink or another color!
