DIY Fall Decorations: Hydrangea and Cork Wreath

Hi Everyone, Tammy here from One More Time Events. I am happy to be back to share another quick and easy last minute project& with you all. When I asked Rose what she would like me to contribute this month she said she would like to see a Fall wreath… Although, I have been busy making DIY vintage glass Finials as Christmas ornaments, and other decorating Christmas here and there… I did have to switch gears a bit, but that was OK by me! (https://www.onemoretimeevents.com/2014/10/create-your-own-glass-vintage-finial.html)

What Rose wants…Rose Gets!!!

So, a DIY Fall wreath it is!!!

With Thanksgiving only a few days away it’s still not to late to create this Fall wreath to welcome your guests. Or, if you are not hosting Thanksgiving this year, how about giving one as a hostess gift? Seriously, once I gathered my supplies it took me less than 15 minutes to complete this wreath.

DIY Fall Cork Wreath with Hydrangeas

Hot glue gun
Scissors.

DIY Fall Decorations: Hydrangea and Cork Wreath supplies

First you will want to find placement around your grapevine wreath for your first layer of round corks and hot glue in place.

Next you will place two more round cork pieces on each side the the first round cork piece and hot glue in place

Make a ribbon with your faux cork ribbon and hot glue it to your grapevine wreath.

For your last layer of round corks cover them with some of your cork ribbon.

Many of you may already know this: if you do, you will agree this is the easiest way to cutting a perfect round circle: when you are attaching it to a round piece. Those of you that don’t know, here is a little tip for you.

No tracing and then cutting it out!!!! Glue your round cork piece onto the opposite side of your ribbon, flip it over using your cork as a cutting guide, cut along and around your cork piece. Done perfect fit and so much easier… Don’t you agree?

Once you are done covering your pieces, place and hot glue them in between the two round corks. Now that all your cork pieces and ribbon is done, add your hydrangeas and glue in to place.

And you are done…that quick and that easy.

Another idea for this cork wreath, this wreath could be easily changed up. After you are done with it, why not recycle it???

This could make a nice Christmas teacher gift. The Teacher could actually use it to pin notes on (since the round circles are cork) or maybe pin pictures of their class, by replacing the hydrangeas with another type of flower… I think sunflowers would be nice. What do you think?

Thank you, Rose, for having me and I can’t wait till next month to share some more fun ideas.

Till Next Post…
