It’s the time of year to hang a wreath on your door. You know, the one with twisted grape vine and fall flowers. The excellent news is that a lot of fall decor is on sale right now, so that pricey wreath that you’ve always had your eye on is attainable! The better news is that you can make your own for a fraction of that cost! Take a look! (This wreath and pictures were made by my sister, Nicole. I was supposed to help, but my baby needed some Mummy time, so I took her on a walk. By the time we got back it was done! And Nicole was so impressed with herself- it was adorable!)
Supplies:
- pre-made Grape Vine Wreath
- decorations such as flowers, animal figurines, pine cones, ornamental grasses or gourds, text
- glue gun and glue
Instructions:
So what do you think? Totally beautiful, right? And totally manageable! I look at this wreath and think it would be upwards of $75 in a shop. But Nicole figures that, with Thanksgiving decor sales and her Michael’s 50% off coupon, this cost her less than $25 to make! That’s just one thing to be thankful for!

Hi, I'm Jessica! I love to craft, and to host parties using things I've made.
I want you to see that my house isn't perfect (just look in the background of some of the pictures!), my crafts aren't perfect, I make mistakes (but I can tell you how I fixed them in the tutorials!), but I love to craft, and I love to share my crafts. I put a lot of effort into my parties because that's what I love to do. If you're hosting a party and are here for ideas you can pare back what I've done; do what works for you and you can still host an amazing party. I hope to give you the ideas and the steps you need to make an excellent party. Most importantly: DON'T STRESS ABOUT IT! It's meant to be fun, and if you're not having fun then just stop. Have a cake and some time together, because when it comes right down to it, that's what really matters.
Here are some more details about me: I am a mum of three, super-happily-married-and-in-love wife, singer (Soprano, Masters in Vocal Performance), homeschooler (I still can't believe that sometimes!), choir conductor, and, very most importantly, Christian. I love the Lord my God with all my heart, all my soul, all my mind, and all my strength (Matthew 22:37). And everything I do I (try to!) do it for the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31). I hope you can get a sense of that here at But First We Craft. We are not aiming for perfection here, we are aiming for a job well done. Happiness through using the gifts that God has given me...in this case: crafting! If you'd like to know more about Jesus please send me a message on the contact page. I'd love to tell you more!
I hope you enjoy your time here at But First We Craft, and that you can find some crafts or party ideas that you want to try out. Thanks for coming!
