Hello everyone, this morning I’m sharing a simple way of updating a fall wreath .
Today is 10th on the 10th hosted by Ann from Apple Street Cottage. Thank you Ann for hosting each month. I’m joined by a creative group of bloggers.
There’s a different theme every month and we need to keep our budget under $10 and this month I will be updating a fall wreath on a budget.
This is especially fun because we get to be creative with the theme while keeping to our $10 budget.
This month’s theme was anything and everything from apples to Halloween.
Immediately, I decided apples would be great for September because apple picking season begins in NJ, fun right?
Fall Wreath
So, after learning our theme, I started looking for fake apples.
After looking online, Factory Direct had fake Golden Delicious apples listed three for $5.59 and shipping therefore keeping me under budget.
I already had gilded walnuts I used for making a Fall Grapevine Citrus Wreath so I saved money again.
Next Step?
As a result of this wreath being around for a few years, updating the wreath felt necessary so I snipped a few of the branches to clean it up a bit.
Next, I placed my apples to get the placement correct.

Finally, I glued my apples as well as my walnuts into place‘
Besides staying within budget, I’m happy I decided to use this wreath on our front door for the fall season and for minimal fuss and money, it’s updated.
Do you try to repurpose and use what you already have in your home?
Pretty wreath – it’s always a good idea to look around our house to see what we can spruce up and reuse! Well done!
Thank you Patti!
Your wreath is beautiful, Cindy. ‘Shopping your house’ is always a great idea!
Shopping the house comes first!
Great wreath and how wonderful to re use and spruce up with one you had. Happy Thursday. xoxo Kris
It’s fun updating pieces. Have a great my dear friend 😘
So pretty! I need to do this to a few of mine! Great idea.
I like giving pieces new life
Cindy you make the most incredible wreath. You need to start an esty shop for wreaths. I am telling you they are all beautiful.
Thanks my sweet friend
I definitely update and reuse things in our house.
I really like your wreath.
Thank you
Cindy, I like that you updated your wreath. I didn’t even think about doing something like that; I could have updated the new door basket easily! 😉 Really like how colorful and full your wreath is and the Golden Delicious apples look really real!!! I’ve eaten many as they grow really well where we lived in Northern California in the foothills of El Dorado County (the Gold Rush area).
Great to be with you on today’s fall 10 on the 10th tour,
Happy decorating,
Barb 🙂
Thanks Barb, I think they look just like the real thing too
Love all the different elements, especially the “golden” apples which perfectly fit the fall theme. Burlap and gold walnuts: perfect!
Thank you Debra, love tge golden apples with tge colors in the wreath too. Using walnuts is always a win for me, says fall, nature and holiday
This is beautiful! I love the apples and walnuts. So perfect for fall!
Thank you Michelle 😊
Cindy, your wreath is so pretty. I love upcycle projects.

Truly a incredible wreath to welcome fall. Always a pleasure to see your inspiring
ideas.
Gah – Cindy, I just want to come over and craft with you! This is gorgeous. I love all the elements you’ve added and I can’t get over those apples. They look so real! Hugs, CoCo
You can come anytime and we’ll have hit cider and craft.😉
Thanks so much. Have a great day
Your wreath turned out wonderfully! I like to upcycle projects whenever I want something to have a new look. It’s way cheaper too. I keep several wreaths here just for this purpose because I find it difficult to get out to shop. Those apples are amazing!
Thanks Sandi, I hope you’re feeling well my friend
