Vintage Orchard Fall Wreath

Hi Crafty Peeps,

I hope you all are having a great weekend. This week we introduced the New Tres Jolie Kits for October 2024. So with that being said I have a fun project for you using the October Mixed Media Kit and some of the Laser Cut Elements from the Scrapbook Kit. You are going to love this fun Fall Wreath Project that takes no time at all. Both Kits are listed below along with my video tutorial and the step by step below.

October Mixed Media Kit October Scrapbook Kit

To start with you will need any type of wreath you would like to use, I am using a grapevine wreath. We will be decorating this at the end.

First we will stain the truck with our Little Birdie alcohol inks. I used the Marine Blue. Dab some on your surface and use a cotton ball to swipe up the ink and glide this along the truck area. To get into small areas the cotton ball is hard to read use a tooth pick or wooden skewer with a bit of cotton wrapped around the top, dip in your ink and color in the small colors.

I do this process for pumpkin, squash and gnome using different colors of the alcohol inks from the Mixed Media Kit.

Next for the leaves I used the Paint Couture paint amazon from a previous kit , August Mixed Media Kit.

Here is the finished truck. For the little mustache on the gnome I used a white gel pen. I traced around the image of the gnome with a black sharpie pen. Then I added some glossy accents to the word Fall, and the pumpkins and squash. The tires are colored black using the black gesso from the Mixed Media Kit.

So this Fall Tres Jolie has some super cute chipboard pieces, here is the mushroom chipboard. For this one I colored in the acorns and the stem of the mushroom with a brown marker. for the leaves and the top of the mushroom I used the Perfect Pearls that came in the July Mixed Media Kit.

First you want to place some water down on your mat, just a a drop or two, then place a little bit of perfect pearls down on the mat. Dampen the chipboard just a little with your paint brush using water, don' t get the chipboard very wet or it will get mushy. Next place some perfect pearls on your paint brush and brush onto the damp chipboard area and this will color your chipboard. I used Perfect Pearl colors spring green brilliant yellow, and pumpkin orange.

Here is the cute little gnome that is new to the shop as well. I used my orange marker for hat, red marker for the apple and I used the paint couture amazon paint for the leaves. For the white beard I used white flock from my stash.

Here is the finished wreath. For the foliage on top of the wreath tucked under the bow I used the Laser Cut Elements from the Scrapbook Kit which features 49 and Market Vintage Orchard Collection.

Then I hot glued the truck down below, and added some leaves and flowers from my stash, lastly I glued on the chipboard mushroom and the little gnome. I did a couple of more laser cuts on top of the colorful leaves below.

I hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial, remember I have the video tutorial for your convenience. I really enjoyed creating this Fall Wreath using the cute wooden truck and the new mushroom and gnome that are added to the shop. I hope you got some inspiration from today's project and head over to the shop to check out the New Mixed Media Kit with the Fall Truck, you can do so many things with this truck for a really nice Fall Decor. Place the truck in a picture frame or on a canvas how lovely would that be to decorate a mantle, a wall, or hang on a door.
