HOW TO MAKE A BOHO FALL WREATH

This easy peace sign wreath will add a natural, boho feel to your fall home decor. I choose to lean my peace sign wreath up against my hearth, but you could make a smaller fall wreath for your front door.

Supplies

  • 36″ grapevine wreath
  • floral wire
  • fall garland of your choice

You can find all my craft supplies here.

I chose an oversized wreath form for this to give the final fall project an extra whimsical feel. I recommend using a grapevine wreath to achieve the natural fall look. The garland I chose has a mixture of dried corn husks, leaves, and pinecones.

How To Make a Boho Peace Sign Fall Wreath

Here’s how you will make your boho peace sign wreath. It’s a little bit of a tedious process but has very few steps.

  1. Gather your supplies and clear a flat workspace for yourself. You’ll need some room to work with such a large wreath.
  2. Unravel some of your floral wire and straignten it as much as you can. Don’t cut it from the spool.
  3. Measure how much of your garland you’ll need to make the different arms of your peace sign. I was able to create mine with a single garland.
  4. One you have measures, cut your garland into the seperate pieces.
  5. Start with the largest middle section. Snip one end of the string from your garland, and run the floral wire through the holes where the string originally strung the garland.
  6. Once you have restrung you sectoion, give an extra two feet of wire on each side. You’ll use this to attach it to the wreath form.
  7. Prop your wreath up and attach the first section by wrapping the floral wire around the wreath, then securing the wore by intertwining it around itself.
  8. Repeat the rrestringing process with the second and last section.
  9. find the middle of your garland section and place it behind the section that’s already attached to your wreath.
  10. Twist the section around the middle sectoin, moving the pieces of your garland out of the way so that only your strings are wrapping.
  11. Attach the end the same way you did the first, by wrapping the wire around the wreath form.

VALENTINE’S DAY HAIRSTYLE- BUBBLE PONYTAIL

bubble ponytail DIY

I’ll start with a disclaimer: I’ve never been a huge fan of Valentine’s Day. It’s just not my thing. With the recent move to Michigan and our wedding coming up, I felt like this year it would be nice to celebrate “us” and appreciate the fact that we are able to live together and be together. We don’t have any plans yet, but I’m hoping they include dinner in our new city (hint hint, James).

This hairstyle is one that is easily completed in less than five minutes and can be dressed up or down. That’s my speed. I love including different hair accessories depending on the season and this ponytail gives the perfect canvas to do so.

The steps are simple and do not require a ton of tools.

Supplies for bubble ponytail DIY

You will need:

–Dry shampoo or texturizing spray
–Clear elastics
–Hair accessories

The steps are:

1. Brush the major tangles out
2. Put your hair in a low pony using the clear hair elastics. The messier the better. Wrap a section of hair around to cover the elastic, and tuck it into the elastic under the ponytail to hide he tail.

3. Create a section by using a second elastic a few inches down, depending on how long your hair is.
4. Pull the sides of your first section to add more volume and create a “bubble” effect.

5. Repeat to create a second “bubble.” I only added in two this time, but you could do as many as you like.

6. Add in your favorite hair scarf or scrunchie and you’re ready for cocktails.

TIP: The dirtier your hair, the better. I have straight hair and dirty hair is the only way for me to get any type of texture or wave to stay.

BOHO ORNAMENT GARLAND

As mentioned before, I went with a more boho look for this holiday season. This project combined my love of texture with a more whimsical look. I only had to buy the ornaments for this piece and the rest of the supplies I already had around the house.

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

– plastic iridescent ornaments
– acrylic paint
– work space protector
– twine.
– bells

STEPS

1. Remove ornament caps and add paint.

2. Shake ornaments until paint covers the whole inside. This part can be a little messy. I recommend having paper towels on hand to wipe off fingers or the ornaments. I used plastic ornaments so they were easy to wipe off paint or scrape off paint after dry.

3. Let ornaments dry. This was the make or break step for me. TIP: Make sure to turn ornaments every few seconds so the wet paint does not pool, leaving sides bare.

4. String ornaments on twine or string of your choice. These can get heavy, so make sure your twine is hearty enough.

5. Cluster and group the ornaments to get your desired look. I cluster mine together tightly, but I think next year I will spread them out for a lighter garland look and hang it vertically.

 6. Add bells to ends and secure.

This project added a nice pop of color and texture to my bar cart space. I’m sure I’ll be re-configuring this garland for spring!

If you give this project a try, let me know! I’d love to see everyone’s rendition of this fun project!
