I like crafts. Give me a glue gun and I am in Hobby Lobby Heaven.
But, I realize that the glue gun, besides the fact that it will singe a layer of skin from your fingertips (hmm... may be an explanation for this), can be intimidating for the non-crafter.
By the way. I've noticed that people who aren't crafty can usually bake.
Just an observation.
(I don't bake.)
Except for biscuits and cornbread.
So, here is a tip for those of you who may not tackle a fall or Christmas wreath from scratch, but want something with a little more pizazz than a store-bought wreath.
Purchase an inexpensive decorated wreath. Then, look for a few seasonal items you like and add them to your wreath.
For example, you could find a fall-ish wreath with say, leaves and a few flowers. Then, add a few artificial pumpkins, gourds, or other items you like. Wal-mart (and they aren't paying me either) is a great place to look. They usually have wreaths ranging from $10-$20 and a 97 cents display with great floral picks.
And, remember, you don't always have to have ribbon. You can make a wreath look great without bows.
This is also a great way to freshen up last year's wreath!

This post reminds me that I need to get my Fall decorations out and start decorating. We have a fall wreath that we create every year. The kids have fun putting it together.

I'm not a crafter. And I'm a very average baker. Hmmm.
This is a great tip for those of us who got in the rafting linep when heaven was handing out the crafting gene.
Great simple, inexpensive idea. I love crafts that are quick. I see a new wreath in my near future. Thanks.
