I bought a couple of different things (and collected some pinecones from outside) because I wasn't sure exactly what I was going to put on it, or how I was going to do it.
I basically did it JUST like the Deco Mesh wreath, except I had to use a whole pipe cleaner, not one cut in half, because the burlap was just too thick. I was a bit worried I wasn't going to have enough of the burlap, because it comes with less on the roll, but I had about 1.5 feet left over when I was done, talk about relieved! I also wound up using most of the orange accent burlap too! But I have plenty of the fall leaves burlap ribbon left over.
I painted a burgundy C, it was small and curvy and very pretty, but it just blended way to much with the leaves on the ribbon. I also painted a bigger C a pretty burnt orange and then put gold polka dots on it, and I really liked how it looked, but it did blend in a little bit.
I posted that one on Facebook and one of my friends recommended a Navy Blue C, since blue and orange are complementary colors (I did not know this, being as I am not very artistic, but she is and told me this LOL). Luckily I don't permanently attach my letters! I bought some Navy Blue paint and painted a new C, and attached it today.
So there it is, my finished fall wreath! I really like the pop of color the blue C adds! Now I just need to make my halloween wreath!
