DIY autumn wreath and a new chapter of Life!

It’s autumn! A season that symbolizes letting go of what needs to be let go of. In other words, a season of change. A few days ago, we found out that we are officially allowed to participate in a program to become family home parents! A major life change, if you ask me. From that day on, I also decided that it was time to stop playing it safe in every other area of my life. From now on, I wanted to shape my life in a way that allowed me to pursue my own dreams, passions, and interests. Over the coming years, I will be writing many blog stories through which I hope to inspire you to do the same.

I will take you along on my “journey towards Homeostasis.” Homeostasis means doing everything you can to live a balanced life in every area of your life.

That same day, I also decided to go for a walk in the woods. I happened to come across some beautiful large bushes with red/orange berries, so I took a few branches home with me. I have enjoyed making creative things ever since I was young, so I decided to get creative again. I chose to make a lovely autumn wreath.

I already had most of the supplies at home. I only needed to go to the store to buy a metal frame. Coincidentally, Action had some available around that time. Once I had gathered all the supplies, I managed to make a beautiful wreath within an hour. I was able to enjoy it throughout the entire autumn.

(Please note!) If you would like to enjoy your autumn wreath for longer, I recommend buying artificial berry branches. That is definitely something I will do in the future as well. Because I will certainly be making this autumn wreath again.

HOW DO YOU MAKE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL AUTUMN WREATH?

Below, I’ll describe which supplies I used to make this autumn wreath.

SUPPLIES

• Black yarn

• Pliers

• A metal wreath frame

• (Artificial) red/orange berry branches (5 branches per section of the frame)

METHOD

1. Count the number of sections in the metal frame.

2. Then make bundles of 4 to 5 branches.

3. Tie the bundles together with yarn and thread them through the sections of the frame.

4. Also secure the bundles to the frame using yarn.

5. Continue doing this until you have a full wreath.

Have lots of fun DIY-ing!
