I LOVE wreaths!
My mom makes a super FAB one from different sized earthy/rusty colored ornaments. It’s uber chic 
I’ve seen so many around the blogosphere lately that have just been amazing.
I LUV the Holly Jolly Wreath by Dave’s Wife from The Diary of Dave’s Wife.
The Let It Snow Wreath by Elizabeth from Twelve Crafts Till Chirstmas is awesome! I’m totally diggin the pleated look and how easy and inexpensive it is to make!
And then there’s ribbons gone awesomely wild on Stacy’s wreath from She’s {kinda} Crafty.
Do you not die over those adorable little doves hidden inside?
So, after getting inspired by these gems (and a little help from Martha), I took a stab at my own wreath for the Thanksgiving season.
Pinecone and PomPom Berry Wreath
Materials
grapevine wreath
jute rope
pom poms (use varying sizes)
Rit Die (I used tangerine, wine and scarlet)
mini pinecones
scissors
hot glue
Soak pom poms in HOT die bath for at least 5 minutes. The longer they are in there, the stronger the color will be.
Remove pom poms from die and allow to dry on paper towels for at least 24 hours.
Wrap jute around top of wreath to create a base.
Cut three long lengths of jute and braid them. Make braid long enough to loop twice to become hanger. Knot at the ends.
Attach braided knot with hot glue to the back of the wreath.
Adhere pinecones and pom poms with hot glue. Use a teeny dot on the pom poms.
That’s all there is to it! I ended up using about 350 pom poms, so don’t expect to whip this out in an hour. It takes some time, but I think it really looks amazing!
THANK YOU!THANK YOU! THANK YOU for featuring my wreath here! ♥ DavesWife

Thanks for the shout out for the felt wreath!
By the way, love your blog design . . .so cute!
I have a blog event going on right now focusing on holiday traditions that we have established or would like to establish. Would love for you to join us by reading some of the guest posts traditions and/or linking up your own for others to read.
What a lot of work to glue on 350 pompoms, but it is such a pretty wreath in the end. It's a wreath you can enjoy for years as well since nothing will go bad on it.
That is really pretty. And I guess the dyed pompoms look more natural and varied in color than just buying red pompons in the first place?
