Fall is in the air! We finally enjoyed some cooler temperatures over the weekend here in Atlanta. It was beautiful! Now that it’s feeling less like summer, I’m getting more in the mood for fall crafting. Last week I headed over to a friend’s house for craft night, and I made a new fall wreath for our front door. It’s always fun creating new things, but it’s even better when you can get together with friends and hang out while you create together. For my wreath, I opted to go with a black, white and gold color scheme. I wanted to do something a little bit different than the typical fall colors you usually see this time of year.
I purchased all of my supplies at Jo-Ann’s. I used fat quarter fabric (the little bundles they sell for a couple of bucks each) along with some metallic gold 2-inch ribbon to make the rosettes. I added a few feathers, also from Jo-Ann’s, and then I made a mini-banner using scrapbook paper cut into small pennants. I hot glued them onto thin metallic gold ribbon, and wrote “FALL” with a metallic gold Elmer’s Paint Marker
. I thought about incorporating some burlap rosettes too, but haven’t decided yet.
You can see a couple of wreaths that I’ve made in the past here and here.
Have you made any fall crafts lately? Do you have craft nights with your friends too?

Cute wreath, Erin! We are still waiting on the cooler temperatures here but am planning a craft night with some friends–can’t wait!
Thanks Gina! Have fun at your craft night! It’s my favorite way to unwind and recharge my mommy batteries. 🙂
I love the wreath! I like the fact that it’s not the typical colors, too! 🙂
Thank you! I wanted to try something different. I love fall colors but the metallic gold has been calling my name lately! Haha.
Cute wreath! A craft night is a brilliant idea!!
Thank you Laurie! Craft nights are the best! So much fun.
Looks great! I really like the gold metallic fabric against the rustic twig wreath. And the “Fall” banner is really cute!
Thank you! I love a mix of rustic and modern so I thought this paired them together a little bit!
I love the wreath, Erin! The feathers are my favorite part. I made a Fall wreath over the weekend, too!
Thanks Kristen! I thought the feathers were pretty fun! 🙂
So festive, I love it!
Thanks Allyson!
LOVE it !!!!! Crafting with you is one of my favs!!!!!! You made that incredibly fast….the world should know that you are a natural! LOVE it! XOXO, Erica
You’re too sweet! Thank you! And I always have fun crafting with you too of course. (Even if you do try to tempt me with irresistable candy!)
So pretty! Making a fall wreath has been on my to-do list!
Thanks Jenny!
Love your wreath, Erin! I need to get better at making rosettes.
Hey we should have a craft day someday with our Atlanta bloggers group – wouldn’t that be fun?! 🙂 20+ bloggers all in 1 room creating a project 🙂
Thanks Christina! Great idea! That would be so much fun.
Your fall wreath is so fashionable. I made a diy fashionable headband to my 3months old daughter and those flowers you did were exactly the same with my baby’s headbands hehehe I’ll make a wreath similar to yours if you don’t mind. LOL
Thank you, and go for it! 🙂 I’ve made headbands for my nieces using this type of fabric rosettes too. They’re very versatile and good for lots of different types of projects!
