Super (Cheap) Apple Wreath!

Fall is definitely in the air! I broke out my cowboy (girl) boots yesterday with jeans and a sweater. So much fun with the cool weather, it's like a whole new wardrobe!

Here's a little project that inspired me to get all my fall decorations out. I spotted this wreath a few weeks ago at Goodwill. I think it was $1.50.

Pretty.

Then I was at TJ Maxx, and these apples were in the clearance section. Love that yellow sticker!

So I put the two together with the aid of my hot glue gun (not even one glue burn, thank you very much!).
Not bad for a total of $4.50, huh?

Stay tuned next week for more fall decorations! I am so excited to bust out all my pumpkins and gourds and other autumn goodies. Have a great weekend!

  3. Carrie..
    very nice indeed!
    I think I would've added either some leaves or a bow..but it would look great with evergreens and a nice plaid bow around Christmas!
    yesterday was definitely fallish with all the wind and leaves blowing!
    thanks for sharing

  9. Great wreath with an even better price tag!
    I love apples ~

    You are so smart for remaking this wreath~
    Did you price wreath bases lately?
    WOAH they are expensive!

    I often buy a wreath at a thrift store only to do the same thing you did!
    I also add and subtract stuff from my current wreaths to change them up a bit too!

    How fun!

    Oh, and you can wear cowboy boots year round. I do! They are super cute with sundresses or denim skirts and a tank top. :D

  24. WOW! You have been busy lately. The wreath is great, the gel stain is super, but that bathroom makeover is fantastic! Way to go! It looks so timeless and classic. I love everything about it.

  25. You are so creative! I don't have any time to look for those kinds of deals, much less complete the projects...and I don't think I have the creative skill either! I will just admire your talent from afar! :)

  26. Very nice makeover. But what I am most impressed with is that you avoiding getting a glue gun burn...I can't do that if my life depends on it...I have two blistered fingers as I type. ha ha!
