Thanksgiving & Fall Wreath

The crazy thing about Thanksgiving is how quickly it goes by after Halloween! It seems like we jump right into Christmas! I saw this beautiful burlap wreath (here) that can be used for fall. Hmmm, so fall can be maybe August and September but here is San Diego we dont really see the season Fall because in September it's about 80 degrees still. Then after September jumps into Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and then winter. Well what we Southern California people call winter :)

So right away I though since I cant really use it as a Fall wreath it would make a great Thanksgiving wreath! The burlap garment was the hardest thing for me to find! The other things I bought at Michael's. I saw this foam "Happy Thanksgiving" sign and then the wheels started turning! I can use that to make my wreath more "Thanksgiving-ish"I used the tutorial from the link above and I'm not gonna lie its tough to work with that burlap! Once I finally got it covered with the burlap and added my little fall-ish decorations, it was onto the sign! I didn't want to glue the sign on there because, if for some crazy reason, we move from Southern California I might just get to use the wreath for Fall! Duh, pipe cleaners! I taped half a pipe cleaner to each side of the sign and then attached it to the wreath! This way I can use it for Fall and then attach the sign for Thanksgiving! I was a little worried how this wreath was going to turn out but I am very pleased the way it did!
