Step 1
Attach leaves to an 18" grapevine wreath using a glue gun. Make the wreath full and lush. Combine the different shades of green first, then complete the wreath by adding a few autumn colors, like yellow or gold.
Step 2
Decide where you'd like to place your decorations and strategically attach Velcro strips to leaves on the wreath. Start with a few, you can always add more later.
Step 3
Select the decorations you'd like to use and attach the other piece of Velcro to these items. Secure the decorations by pressing the Velcro strips together. Decorating ideas: for autumn - use small faux pumpkins; Halloween - spooky witches or candy corn designs; Christmas - holiday ornaments or miniature Santas; Valentine's Day - hearts, or cupids; Easter - baskets, birds, or colorful eggs; spring - flowers or birdhouses; summer - bonnets or flowers. Possibilities are endless. For decorating ideas see my website; www.dabjonescreations.com http://www.etsy.com/shop/jonesdab
Step 4
If you decide you want to add more items, attach additional Velcro pieces. Try to add the extra attachments behind other leaves, so if you want less decorations on a future wreath, the Velcro won't show.
Step 5
Ideas for decorations: Go to flea markets or rummage sales. Try to find unusual holiday decorations. Look for sales at the end of the season. Dig out vintage treasures from the attic.
Step 6
This wreath shows possible decorating ideas. Use your imagination and impress your neighbors with your original creations. Attach baseball trinkets on game day, celebrate a birthday with old heirlooms, attach mini purses and bracelets for Girls' Nite Out. Do anything your little heart desires and no worries, if you change your mind - in seconds you can unfasten and replace the decorations. Have fun.
