Well, I had no idea until yesterday where the original image came from, but I knew I loved it
and I had to have it for my front door!
I recreated it for less than $20.00 with items on sale from Hobby Lobby.
*wreath (I used grapevine, but straw may work better)
*moss (first round: I used peat moss, but re-covered with spanish moss-spanish worked better).
* small pumpkins (I used real, but recommend fake)
*glue gun
* floral wire (if you use the real pumpkins)
*ribbon
Step 1: Cover the wreath with the moss, glue it down as you go with hot glue.
This step would be super easy if you used the fake pumpkins with the stick, but I of course made the project harder on myself by using real pumpkins.
Poke two holes all the way through the pumpkin and feed the floral wire through. Twist the floral wire together at the bottom of the pumpkin.
Step 4: Secure the pumpkin(s) to the wreath.
Feed the floral wire through the grapevine wreath, and twist to secure the pumpkin to the wreath.
*I only used one pumpkin on my wreath because being real, they are 1) pretty heavy and 2) a little larger than the pumpkins in the 1st wreath image.
Thank goodness I was able to cover the large growth with the spanish moss.
If you’re not in the mood to DIY your wreath, the original wreath (which I found on pinterest) you can buy from Two Inspire You, on Etsy.

I love the one pumpkin touch..it's perfect!
I love the way it looks against the dark paint color of your door. I've been looking for a wreath idea, not feeling the fake flower wreaths I've seen in the stores.
I love this wreath and have also pinned it on pinterest. Perhaps I'll get out my glue gun this afternoon! Yours looks adorable!
What a cute idea. Looks so pretty and simple.
Love that bow!!
It's adorable! I love your pretty bow
So stinkin' adorable!!! I think my kiddos actually might like a project like that! I need a new wreath to replace the crazy one our landlord gifted us…such a sweet gesture, but…well, not my thing! (c;
This is perfect. Love the natural look of it.
Gorgeous and so perfect for fall!
