What do you think of when autumn appears? Cosy hot chocolates and spiced lattes? The trees in your garden and lining your street turning a vibrant red, orange and yellow? For us, autumn brings new inspiration for our art and crafts. A wreath is a fantastic way to honour the season and add a pop of colour to your front door. They’re a beautiful decoration that will put a smile on your guests faces – as well as yours! The great thing about wreaths is that you don’t need to break the bank to get a nice one, you can make it yourself! All you need is some coloured paper or plain paper with some colouring pencils, string, a paper plate and some glue. Here’s how to make your own autumn wreath.
