In the How To: Create an Eco-Friendly Wreath for Fall<\/a><\/strong> post, I shared two ugly wreaths from thrift stores, but only showed how I redid one. After making a recycled acorn banner<\/a><\/strong>, I was inspired to make an acorn wreath!<\/p>\n 1. An old wreath<\/p>\n 2. Burlap<\/p>\n 3. Ribbon. Use\u00a0organic ribbon<\/a><\/strong>, if you can– it’s more eco-friendly!<\/p>\n 4. Scissors<\/p>\n 5. Hot glue\/hot glue gun<\/p>\n 6. Recycled cardboard<\/p>\n 7. Recycled paper.

Then, write “welcome” on it or whatever you would like it to say. I also outlined the entire acorn in black. After that, I hot glued it directly to the wreath.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n 4.

The ribbon adds a little color and pizazz!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n \u00a06. Wrap the burlap and ribbon piece around the top of the wreath like so:<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n You’re basically going to hot glue the burlap to itself– creating a pocket for it to hold the wreath.<\/p>\n 8. Hang it up! I taped my strip of burlap to the back of my door to hold it in place.<\/p>\nWhat You Will Need:<\/h3>\n
