Hello! I am delighted to have you here with me today. For this DIY project, I have a simple idea that I think you'll love. We will be creating an Autumn floral and bead wreath using just a few materials. If you're viewing this project, I'm sure you love Fall as much as I do. It is my favorite season, and I have been busy creating new crafts to share with all of you.

How to create an Autumn floral and bead wreath
Materials
- One wreath $4.99 (I'm using a grapevine wreath, and I purchased it at Michael's. It is a 14'' wreath)
- Faux fall floral (My flowers were purchased at Michael's, and it was actually a stem bundle) $9.99, but they are having a sale. I paid $4.99
- Beads $1.60 (Purchased at Michael's)
- Stretch cord $2.88 (Purchased at Walmart)
- You will also need wire cutters or scissors
Total spent around $14
Creating your wreath
Cutting and placing faux floral in wreath
To begin with, start by cutting your flowers to the desired size. You can remove some of the wire stems to make it easier to place the flowers through the wreath without them being too long.
Next, take each flower and add them to your wreath. You can choose to add them to the top, bottom, or just one side of the wreath depending on your preference.
When adding the flowers, simply insert them through the wreath and bend the wire slightly for a secure fit.
Adding beads to stretch cord
To start making your stretch cord and bead wreath, take your stretch cord and cut around 10 inches of it using your scissors. Ensure that your cord is long enough to go around each flower when you loop your beads on your wreath around them.
Once you have cut the cord, start adding your beads. Slide your first bead down the cord and tie a knot around it once you reach the bottom of the cord. Keep adding beads until the cord is filled with beads. Tie the top section of the cord like you did for the bottom section.
Adding the bead garland to the wreath
Now, you can start looping your beaded stretch cord through your flowers and the wreath. Begin from the top and wrap the cord around your wreath and top flower. Keep doing this until you reach the bottom of the flowers. Tuck the end of your beads into the bottom section of the flowers.
Finally, if you want to ensure that your beads stay securely on the wreath, take some extra stretch cord and tie it around the bottom section of the beads. Loop it through your wreath and tie it off.
Your beautiful wreath is now ready to display.
