~I did it~
I made my wreath!
But first I wanted to show you this photo of a little fall vignette in my kitchen.
I got this little silver trophy cup from Cindy, queen of tarte, and filled it with orange dahlias.
I am not good at giving tutorials, so at the end of this post
I will share some other people's tutorials
that you might find helpful.

I totally winged it.
I used pages from 3 different vintage sheet music books.
Some were more weathered then others, but I like the mix.

I actually used more straight pins than hot glue, folding each sheet into thirds, only creasing it at the ends to pin it in.
{I told you I was horrible at tutorials}

It took a lot longer than I thought and it used a lot more pages than I thought, but I did not burn my fingers, probably thanks to the low temp glue gun.

I also got really inspired and made this sign out of an old door I had laying around.
I added a bunch of crows for the season and this cool architectural piece that I got from Cindy , that I turned into a candlestick.
{can we say run on sentence?}
I think it needs a bit of color.
I will probably try bringing in some fall leaves or just add a few mums, maybe a little orange pumpkin.
