Check out these cool fall wreath ideas...

Kristin's acorn wreath.
I helped Kris collect hundreds of acorns for this wreath on BSU's campus. Most of the acorns on the ground were "topless" so, eventually, we learned to just pluck them right off the tree branches. I think the people walking by thought we were a little strange. One hippie-type lady accused us of stealing from the squirrels. Hehe. Sorry squirrels.

P.S. Kristin said this took her 3+ hours, 2 acorn collection trips, and several hot glue gun burns.

Natalie's lima bean wreath.
Both of these wreaths are easy and affordable. Well, time consuming, but definitely, cheap! It's just a styrofoam wreath (~$5), a hot glue gun & ribbon. Acorns were obviously free, and lima beans are about $1/bag! Spray paint optional. (Is it just me or does the lima bean wreath look a bit like snake skin?)
