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.

I am so excited to used this up for Halloween. I hope you get a chance to grab this assortment for your Halloween decorating. :D
Just look at these wonderfully fun colors the orange, purples,greens and the 3/8 inch grosgrain and satin ribbons are just lovely.

I couldn't help myself when I saw this ribbon assortment I had to make a Halloween Wreath. 

For center of my wreath I used an old Halloween window decoration

I had for years. It like a sun catcher, you put it in the windows and it 

shines pretty like stained glass. But this is made from plastic. I glued it 

down in the middle of the wreath. 

Here is a close up of the the wreath. 

I added lights to back of it. 

To make the wreath I wrapped Black Satin w/grosgrain edging around the

wreath first then I wrapped the Gauze Print on Grape Satin Ribbon. I then tied

all the ribbons around on top of the black and purple ribbons. I did double

up some of the ribbons.  Aren't these ribbons so adorable and beautiful? 

They are just perfect for Halloween. 

Supplies I used - September's Ribbon Club Assortment Too Cute To Spook Mix.; 5/8 Satin with Grosgrain Edge Black
From My Stash - Grapevine Wreath, plastic Halloween window decor and lights.

To Ring In The 4th of July I made a 4th of July Wreath with the Ribbon of the Month May Ribbon Club Assortment.  This May Assortment is just amazing so much you can do with it and the ribbons are so pretty!!! Don't they just look YUMMY!!

Here is my 4th of July Wreath -

 In using this Gorgeous Patriotic Collection I made rosettes using

each ribbon from the collection. Layered large, medium and small. 

To make the rosettes I cut circles, 2 inches, 1 1/2 inch, and 1 inch punches.

I used hot glue gun to adhere my ribbons onto the circles. 

I used the Satin double ruffle ribbon Peacock to wrap my wreath over the 

burlap and then tied a lovely bow so it would hang. 

I also used the little Sweetheart Blooms Mixed Colors  Red, Blue & White

here and there around the wreath. 

In the middle of the wreath I made a little Flag with the word "freedom" and

used the ribbons for the streams. 

For my streams I used the following ribbons -

3/8"Diamond Satin Electric Blue, 3/8"Checkerboard Satin Poppy Red, 

3/8"Random Patriotic Stars on White Grosgrain, 3/8"American Flag Print on Satin

 3/8"Patriotic Chevron Grosgrain Ribbon and a rosette adhered to 

the American Flag print ribbon. 

 Here is a close up of the red rosette I made with the ribbons. 

I am so pleased with how these turned out. So easy to work with!! 

I used 5/8" PoppyRed Double-faced Satin, with 5/8"Plaid Ribbon Royal Blue

For the cute little one in the middle - 3/8"American Flag Print on Satin 

For the bottom one I used 5/8"Plaid Ribbon Royal Blue and 3/8"Diamond Satin Electric Blue, 3/8"Checkerboard Satin Poppy Red

Close Up of the Top of the wreath. I just love how the "Chevron" ribbon creates a

 zigzag look on the rosette. so pretty. 

The little middle rosette is made with  3/8"Patriotic Chevron Grosgrain Ribbon; 

I used Electric Blue Double-faced Satin, 5/8" PoppyRed Double-faced Satin, 3/8"Random Patriotic Stars on White Grosgrain for the large rosette by the little sweetheart blossom flowers. Isn't that

Stars on White Grosgrain so awesome with the blue & red ribbons?? 

I Love It!!! :D 

 Close Up of the Right side of the wreath. Here are the ribbons I used for these Rosettes - 

These are for the top Rosette -

5/8"Plaid Ribbon Red ; 5/8"Electric Blue Double-faced Satin

 For the cute little one in the middle - 3/8"American Flag Print on Satin 

For the red and blue rosette - Electric Blue Double-faced Satin; 5/8" PoppyRed Double-faced Satin 

I am loving the American Flag print, I gotta get some more of that one!! 

 Close Up of the bottom right side of the wreath. I just love how the little flowers really 

a softness to the wreath. they are so cute. :D The colors of these ribbons are just so 

vibrant and lively. In person they are just stunning, seriously!  

Supplies:  From the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store
