Well hello you lovely Punkin' Heads!

I like that... Punkin' Heads!

Like Parrot Heads... but so much cooler! haha.

Anyways...

I am SO THRILLED to be here blog swapping with the sweet Miss Katie today!

She's over at my place when you're finished meeting me of course! ;)

And am I excited to meet you!!!

My name is Kassi and I blog at a little place called Truly Lovely!

Yep, that's me. (On my wedding day in July!)

Yep, that's my blog. :)

Moving on... ;)

I have a little Fall craft to share with you dolls today!

My Monogram Fall Wreath!

So I started with my wreath form, a retired rope from my team roping hubby.

You can read more about other ways I use those here if you'd like.

If you don't just happen to have a team rope laying around the house... Cause let's face it...

There are a few people out there who don't... heehee.

You can use a vine wreath form, or wire, etc...

I used clear fishing line to tie the rope together to form a circle.

Again, same concept with twigs, or vines, or wire or whatever route you choose for your form.

Then I made my monogram.

Just a simple wooden M purchased from the craft section of Wally World.

Two coats of brown paint. A little ruffing up with some sand paper...

And viola! I really like to ruff up the edges to give it some dimension...

Plus is goes with the rustic feel of the wreath as a whole!

Then I attached the M to my rope form with some brown ribbon and hot glue.

If you are going to be hanging your wreath outside where it's windy...

REALLY glue that sucker on there!

Now... Time to pretty it up.

I bought a couple bunches of fall colored flowers and leaves, again, from Wally World.

Then used a combination of hot glue and the fishing line to attach them to the top of my wreath.

A little ribbon for the "hanger"... The windier it is outside... MORE hot glue!!!

On a side note... I might have come home from work the day after hanging this and found it lying on the ground... Which might have called for some hot glue and ribbon and fishing line reinforcement...

Just sayin'... GLUE it on ya'll. :)
