Adding a touch of fall to the kitchen

Yesterday I spent a little time creating a new wreath for my range hood. My hubby made me this hood when we remodeled our kitchen and it is a great way to add some extra touches of color and design on the kitchen.

It is so simple to create a wreath. First find a wreath form that is the right scale for the place in your home you want to hang it. Next, think of what room you want that wreath to hang in. What are the colors? Do you have other folage in the room you need to compliment. Then after you find the flowers, yarn, ribbon, fabric, you name it…to go on it, lay out your pattern. I always try to set things out using odd numbers of things. For example, I have seven apples to work with and three berry sprigs. You can decide if you want your design to be symmetrical or asymmetrical. Just play around and see what is pleasing to your eye.

When I am happy with my design, I start hot gluing. Really is that simple.

I love how a simple project like this can add a bit of fun and style to any room.
