Hello, Scrapbook & Cards Today friends! Autumn is my absolute favorite time of year—time for crisp air, cool mornings, comfy sweatshirts, and colorful leaves. It’s also my favorite time of year to get crafty, so it only makes sense that I would want to make something fun and “fallish” for my home! I’ve been loving the color-blocked wreaths I have been seeing, so I decided to use the Sweater Weather collection from Echo Park Paper and cut files to make my own wreath.

Supplies | Echo Park Paper Sweater Weather collection: Patterned Paper, chipboard, stickers, enamel dots; Echo Park Paper: Leaves, pumpkin cut files; Therm O Web: Adhesive, liquid glue, foam adhesive; Silhouette Cameo: electronic die-cutting machine; Other: Ribbon, hot glue

I started by choosing four pretty papers with monotone patterns. I decided to use red, yellow, orange, and blue. I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve ever incorporated blue into my fall décor, and I am loving it!

I cut 10-12 leaves from each paper. I attached them to a wreath base by pinching one end, adding hot glue to the back of the pinched portion, and layering them around in a circular pattern.

I cut several leaf sprigs from green patterned paper and tucked them here and there between the colorful leaves.

To complete the leaves, I added coordinating enamel dots on some of the leaves.

I could have quit at this point. I loved how it looked, and it certainly looked complete, but I absolutely loved the ‘fall’ chipboard word and I wanted to incorporate it somehow.

After trying a few different methods, I decided I needed to add layers underneath, so I cut a pumpkin with a fun curly stem, added a pretty bow, and embellished it with stickers.

I attached the completed pumpkin piece between the red and yellow leaves, and now I’m enjoying my colorful fall wreath every time I walk through my sitting room.

Have you crafted any fall décor for your home this year? We’d love to hear about your latest project!

Have a happy, crafty day!
