\"Fall<\/a><\/h3>\n

Looking for some fun fall decor? Make an eco-friendly acorn wreath!<\/h3>\n

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

What You Will Need:<\/h3>\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. I used book pages.<\/p>\n

8. A permanent marker<\/p>\n

How To Do It:<\/h3>\n

1. Remove all of the old items from your wreath. Mine had a few ugly white flowers that were easy to take off. If all else fails, flip your wreath over to the back for a clean slate.<\/p>\n

2. Make your acorn. Draw the top of the acorn on cardboard and the bottom of the acorn on a book page like so:<\/p>\n

\"Fall<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Hot glue the acorn together. 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

\"Fall<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Cut your burlap to the length you need to hang your wreath.<\/p>\n

5. Cut your ribbon to the same length. Then, hot glue it down the middle of your burlap. The ribbon adds a little color and pizazz!<\/p>\n

\"Fall<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a06. Wrap the burlap and ribbon piece around the top of the wreath like so:<\/p>\n

\"Fall<\/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>\n

Isn’t it pretty? It’s really simple, but beautiful! You could also customize it by writing your family’s name on the acorn or “Give Thanks” for eco-friendly Thanksgiving decor<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.
