Needless to say, the options available to you when it comes to putting together a wreath for Autumn are pretty much endless. When it comes to colours, lean towards warmer shades such as orange and brown (avoiding bright red to ensure you don't accidentally create a Christmas wreath). Splashes of metallics are the quickest way to turn what looks like a wooden wheel, into something much more special. Personally, I opted for gold and copper, though I can imagine how gorgeous rose gold could have looked nestled somewhere amongst the leaves!
What have I used?
Secateurs
Wire
Gold Metallic Spray Paint
DecoArt Metallic Acrylic Paint in Worn Penny
Artificial Fabric Flowers inc. Hydrangeas
Natural Leaves
Wooden wreath
Pine Cones
Gisela Graham Gold Acorns
As much as I wanted to release the entire can of gold spray onto the wreath and marvel at how sparkly it looked, I kept the gold metallic spray to just one set of the artificial flowers and spaced them evenly around the wreath. Though before doing so, I laid the foundation of the wreath. By this, I mean pieces such as natural leaves and large dried hyacinths - anything that will help create that 'chunky' end result.
My favourite part of the process was undoubtedly dipping into a brand new pot of metallic acrylic paint and carefully covering each and every dip in the trio of pine cones I'd gathered. Not only is it therapeutic, but the end result is undeniably dreamy - can I dip myself in Worn Penny?!
With love,
Gabrielle x

Oh my gosh! the colors are sooo pretty! I really love the effect of copper against earthier colors like browns and greens. It would have been difficult for me to resist painting the entire thing as well haha seeing this wreath reminds me of those days when I took a floral design class and made a bunch of wreaths for the sale!

I have never tried making my own wreath before. I usually take the lazy girls way out and just buy one if I have a hankering to hang something on my door. This does seem like a fun and relaxing project though. I particularly loved the color palette you used because it is not your typical autumnal colors you see like orange, rust, and burgundy.

This is absolutely beautiful Gabrielle, I love the colours you chose, and you're right to veer away from those deep reds just at the moment, as it can look too festive as you mentioned. I love the way you painted the pinecones and this wreath is really earthy and fresh too, so it really welcoming. I also love that jumper you've got on, so cosy! - Tasha

ReplyDeleteYour DIY wreath is gorgeous! I love that paint you used to decorate it...such a perfect shade. You really did a fantastic job. Crafts are always fun, aren't they? I always find this type of work to be therapheutic...and what is more with this type of project we end up with a beautiful home decoration, so really it is a win-win situation, isn't it?
Lovely photographs as well...you always look very pretty.
