I love the colours of Falls in Canada! What a gorgeous time of year and the perfect time to bring those beautiful colours inside.
I have had this antique, wooden frame kicking around for a while just waiting for its turn to be used. It’s time finally rolled around last week when I wanted to make a Fall wreath as it was exactly what I needed for the background of the foliage.
To get the frame ready, I painted it in a beautiful, deep, red Annie Sloan Chalk Paint called Emperor’s Silk.
Once the frame was painted with one coat of Chalk paint, I lightly distressed it to show the gorgeous details and then gave it a coat of Annie Sloan Dark Wax to enhance the colour.
To make the wreath look perfect for Fall, I added some foliage in lovely Fall hues along with some berries and a pine cone.
All of the foliage and berries were held together with floral tape and then the end of the arrangement was wrapped with burlap ribbon.
In order to be able to hang the wreath, I attached a wider piece of burlap ribbon. A slit was cut in the ribbon near the frame top to attach the arrangement of foliage.
The foliage was then slipped through the slit. I used a few dabs of hot glue to hold it in place.
The antique frame fall wreath turned out even better than I could have hoped! I am completely in love with the abnormal shape that the beautiful frame adds to it.
Happy Fall!

Lisa this is such a pretty wreath and very unique. I never would have thought to use a frame. Now I’ll have to go looking around for frames. And it is also very versitile, just change the middle and you have something for another season.
