Fall Letter Wreath

hello and welcome to my first attempt at blogging.  

this was also my first attempt to make this wreath inspired by The Nest .  The cost for me to make this was right around $15.00.  It looked very similar to one at hobby lobby with a price tag of 150.00 so I think I did pretty well.  

I started with a grapevine wreath size 14" and two sunflower picks.  I wanted to use real fall leaves (if you choose to be sure to bake them in the oven first) but I opted to use the pick full of leaves to save on time.  I tend to be a bit spontaneous when I get an idea.  I placed the sunflowers where I wanted them on the vine and hot glued them in place.  I then removed all the leaves from the pick and also placed them where I wanted them on the wreath.  I purchased the letter at Hobby Lobby for $3.49 as well as the paint to paint the letter.  Three coats later I was all set to hang up my wreath.  I used burlap to hand the letter, however after further review I think I will make some adjustments and post a new photo of the wreath.
