The crisp AUTUMN days are here!!! FALL is my favorite season of the year. I love the vibrant earthy colors and the decorations that transform any home into a Bountiful Harvest.
I love the Rustic look of Burlap. To celebrate the Season I decided to create a Leaf Wreath to dress up my front door for welcoming FALL. I combined a Straw Wreath, Burlap and Fall Fabrics to create my wonderful and simple Fall wreath.
Here is what you will need to make this wreath.....
Here is what you will need to make this wreath.....
- 14" diameter Straw Wreath
- Burlap
- Fabrics - I purchased five different Fall prints; 1/4 yard each
- Fusible Fleece - purchased at Joann's Fabrics
- Leaf Pattern
- Tracing Paper
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Natural Raffia
- Sharp pair of Scissors
- Sharpie
- Cut Burlap into long strips. I cut 4 strips measuring approximately 36" each.
- Wrap wreath with Burlap strips. Tack with hot glue gun as you wrap strips around the wreath.
- Cut fabric in half, measuring approximately
9" x 21". You should be able to fit 5 leaves on each panel. Save the second panel for other projects. - Following manufacturer's instructions; fuse fleece to wrong side of each fabric panel.
- Trace and cut your Leaf Pattern. Use the pattern to trace it on the fused side of the fabric. I used a sharpie to trace the leaf pattern. Cut fused leaves inside the tracing lines.
- I cut 25 leaves (5 of each fabric panel).
- Starting at the center top of the wreath, begin attaching the fused leaves using the hot glue gun; overlapping them as you go.
- Continue adding all the leaves until the wreath is completely covered.
- Gather several lengths of Raffia and tie to form a Bow. Trim ends and glue to the wreath's bottom section.
And here it is.... my colorful FALL wreath is ready to be displayed. 
I hope you give this tutorial a try.

Fusible Fleece. That's something I haven't heard of before. I usually use Pellon Peltex double sided fusible stiff interfacing. I used those to make fabric postcards a few years ago. Fusible Fleece, huh? Sounds nice and fluffy. Thanks for sharing this. Linda
