Decorating with wreaths is a wonderful way to welcome guests into your home. It’s also a great way to show off the beauty of the season or to announce a special occasion.
Today I will be sharing two autumn wreath ideas with you. This came about from a recent cleaning and gathering of old wire hangers that found their way into the different parts of my house. I noticed the color variations on some of the hangers, almost copper-like. I took one of the hangers apart and bent the wire into a circle then twisted the two ends around each other to make a wreath form. It was sturdy and it held the shape well when branches were added. The copper/gold tone on the wire also blended nicely with the branches. This simple wreath became the inspiration for the autumn wreath drawing {above}.

I converted the wreath image into two different sizes. The small image was made into printable gift tags. I used one of the tags to tie on a gift package in a recent blog post, Welcoming the Autumn Season.
