We love the autumn time and we think that wreaths are beautiful. Here we show you how to make your own autumn wreath, a lovely craft to enjoy at home.

Thanks to Kirsty, from Warrington, who sent in this great autumn wreath idea. Let’s take a look at it…

What did you do?

I made a Homemade Autumn wreath using bamboo, a glue gun, and artificial decorations with string lights.

I used the bamboo to make the initial shape I wanted (Pair shaped).

I added the leaves first using the glue gun.

Then placed the pumpkins in the places I wanted them fixing them on with the glue gun, adding a few extra leaves around them.

Finally adding the string lights wrapping them around the bamboo and fixing the battery casing onto the bamboo at the back.

Its lovely making seasonal decorations it really gets us excited for that time of the year.
