Burlap & Pumpkin Fall Wreath {Dollar Store Wreath Idea!}

This fall I wanted to really cut back on seasonal spending for fall and Halloween decor so my wheels started turning on how to create a higher-end look for a LOT less than retail. Browsing the Dollar Store last month, I found these bags of mini-gourds and a fall wreath idea was born.

The green speckled look wasn’t horrible, but it wasn’t what I was looking for in terms of an upscale style wreath. A quick hit of spray paint in glossy white…

… and high style pumpkins were born! I simply hot-glued the painted pumpkins in clusters onto an inexpensive grapevine wreath, leaving gaps for the burlap ribbon:

Then I used a thick burlap ribbon I’d hoarded saved from a package I received and pinched it in half.

I hot glued it to the back and started to wrap it around the wreath, tucking it in between the clusters of gourds.

Oh, it’s starting to look purdy. 😉

Two minutes later and DONE!

Our entryway is looking more and more festive, and my budget isn’t suffering too badly either. In fact, total cost for this project was $5. FIVE BUCKS!

Not too shabby for festive fall decor that perfectly fits with my (neutral, organic, glam-loving) style, right?

Just wait until you see the Dollar Store decor up my sleeve for tomorrow and next week. You’re gonna FREAK OUT. {okay, maybe not freak out, but possibly like it a little? Freaking out is okay too. Let’s go with freaking out.}
