I have been having major withdrawals since my last trip to Disney. It doesn’t help that I am constantly seeing pictures on social media of all the Disney Parks' beautiful fall decorations.

Make Your Own Disney Wreath!
You will need:
·
1 large grapevine wreath (the wreath pictured above is
12.5 inches)
·
2 smaller grapevine wreaths of identical size (the
wreaths above are 6 inches)
·
Ribbon
·
Rope (can have seedlings or be any color you fancy)
·
Acrylic paint
·
Wooden or ornamental letter
-Measure
out your wreath's look. I “eyeballed” how close together I
wanted the 6 inch "ears" to fit onto the 12.5 inch wreath. Once you have decided you can begin to wrap one wreath to another.
-Tightly wrap your rope within the vines of one wreath to create
a secure hold. Continue to wrap through both wreaths until you have to attached
the second of the smaller wreaths.
-Be very
generous with the rope. The more you have to wrap, the more secure your wreath will be.
*TIP: The autumn inspired rope I used was about 9 feet long.

-Once
you have securely bound all three wreaths together, you will need your ribbon.
-Use a long ribbon to hang your letter on the inside of the main wreath.
-Make sure to leave enough slack to tie a knot or two so that you can create a long loop to use to hang the wreath.

-To
add a personalized touch, I used the initial of our last name. I painted it
with cream and gold acrylic paint. I also added two little hearts to represent me and my husband.
-When the letter is dry, take some of the same rope you tied around the wreaths and bind the ribbon to the letter.

Now go hang it up and enjoy!
I hope that every time you look at your wreath you feel a little bit of the Disney Magic at home.
