In between storms and rain I’m starting to clean up our yard for Fall and have been snipping branches and trimming like a crazy woman.
In the branches I can see pretty shapes and interesting curves and just can’t throw them all away. So I decided to try to create a wreath.
I picked some thicker branches to use as the base, used some twine to tie them together and added thinner ones on top. It’s pretty sturdy if you tie it tightly but you could always glue it for added strength.
Here’s the finished project with the addition of burlap flowers on a bed of moss. I’m loving it!
Google burlap flowers to find tutorials if you want to make some….there are lots of great tutorials on the web. Be careful if you use hot glue, I’m sporting a big old blister……that stuff is HOT!

More twigs will be showing up when I’m finished decorating the front porch for Fall.

I love it. This is really beautiful. Why do we always think wreaths have to be ROUND? You're so creative!
I do like it, Debbie! I love how those wispy pieces keep it casual and carefree.
I LOVE it! I'm a fan of non-circular wreaths and a like the natural elements you used. Great job. I'm pinning this…
What a lovely wreath! I really like it.
Your wreath is adorable ~ I love it!
I am hosting a new linky party on Wednesdays ~ FALL in Love With Your Home. I'd love for you to join in the fun.
Have a very happy Labor day!
Do you sell these?
I love a square wreath!!! That is eye-catching!
Love the natural look and shape. Beautiful.
I like it! there is much texture and character in this wreath
This is my very favorite wreath of all!!

I especially like the rectangle shape. Then I like not overdoing it with the twigs. You have just the right amount on it. It's just unstructured enough to please the eye.
The flowers are a very nice touch.
Love it!
Your wreath is so pretty!

I love it, but I think I'll use a nest with eggs in the corner on mine.
I like it too! That is great and so different!!
I do like! I am really fond of square wreaths. They have such pizzazz. Yours is great, and I would copy it.
I haven't seen a wreath like this before, Debra – this is gorgeous! Thanks so much for sharing. I know you shared the link on my FB wall, but I'm going to post it so everyone can see a picture!

That looks GREAT! You did an amazing job!
Wow this wreath is right up my alley! I want one. I love nature used for decor. I might have to copy this! I am gonna post about this on facebook.
When I first saw the twigs…I thought " What the heck is she going to do with that?" It's very very pretty. Nice Job. I may just have to copy.
Yes, I do like it! I like it a lot! Great shape! Thanks for linking up to The “Autumn Décor” Talent Scouting Party at WhisperWood Cottage, Debbie!
