I have been craving one of those adorably monogrammed fall wreaths to adorn our front door over the past few weeks and just really wasn't finding anything that suited our style or our budget. 

I am one that loves the browns and golds of fall, but doesn't so much dig the Halloween oranges and blacks when it comes to decorating. I am also all about simplicity and love the look of a rustic, natural wreath with a few embellishments. Thus, I decided to take this vision with me and paid a quick trip to Hobby Lobby this weekend in hopes of a little DIY wreath project inspiration.

The wreath base pictured above only cost $4.99 for this medium size, but also comes in a variety of smaller and larger sizes depending on what you are looking for as well. 

You can add as many or as little embellishments as suits your fancy! I wandered the aisles of their fall decor and chose a few fall flowers and that small twig pumpkin you see to add a little dimension first. Be sure to select embellishments such as these that are already on sticks as it makes it simple just to slide them into the vines of the wreath - no adhesives needed! I also selected some light colored burlap ribbon and followed this tutorial from On Sutton Place to make the "perfect bow" to attach above the florals.

And there you have it. I love how it turned out and when all was said and done, I spent a fraction of what I would have and finished with a wreath that was exactly what I was looking for.

I feel like now I can officially say- welcome fall.
