I started with a foam wreath form from Dollar Tree. (Love all the craft supplies they carry now! It saves me a lot of money!) Wrapping it in a brown ribbon, I was already liking what it was looking like, it just needed something else, we decided a second ribbon, but smaller would look better than a single ribbon. I used a gold ribbon from my stash. Wanting to get my pieces made, I made my bow next.

Not having any wired ribbon that matched the colors I wanted on my fall wreath, I had this pretty red with gold sheer ribbon. I wanted to make it a little fuller to make it feel more like a wired ribbon so I brought out my Bowdabra. I bought this years ago but this was one of those tools that really intimidated me. Why? I have no idea since it was so easy to use once I watched their video on their website. Anyhow, I really loved the fullness I got out of plain non wired ribbon. What do you think?

Next, I wanted to make my flowers, leaves, acorns, berries and swirls. I used my Cameo3 to do this. I used all American Crafts and Bazzill Cardstock from 12x12 Cardstock Shop. I was not real happy with it being one dimensional. So I used a flower ball to roll over the petals and leaves to soften the cardstock to make it softer and more shapeable. This made me be able to make my flowers 2 dimensional and to add flat back pearls for my centers.

Last but not least were the 3 shades of berries. It added such a nice touch to the spray but it just needed something compared to the flowers. The pearls I used were Rainbow Mixed Size Pearls by 12x12 Cardstock Shop.
