Happy Fall Wreath

Designer: Kelly Purkey

My favorite thing about Fall is definitely the beautiful colors that appear.  Bring those colors inside by creating a happy wall hanging celebrating the season.  I created this leaf wreath using handcut fabric pieces and some letter appliques.  Pick fabrics with a fun color palette like lavender, melon, and lime for a fresh color scheme.  Happy Fall!
