Elegant wreath for Thanksgiving

As the leaves change colour and the air gets cooler, there are plenty of opportunities for our crafters to embellish their artwork and surroundings. In this post, we present an inspiring and autumnal design idea that will help you feel the magic of this season in your own works and creations.
The timeless beauty of autumn
Cut several lengths of felt in alternating colours to match the length of your table. In this example, Bettina has used three 15 cm wide strips: White - brown - white, so the chequerboard pattern is shown to its best advantage. However, the number and length of the felt strips ultimately depends on the size of your table. Now cut the short transverse strips by placing them along the long main axes. Again, change the colours lane by lane.

Felted autumn dreams
With its natural and rustic charm, the felt gives the wreath a timeless beauty. The soft and warm texture of the felt material creates an inviting atmosphere that is perfect for autumn. The earthy colours of the felt, in brick red and orange, harmonise wonderfully with the other elements of the wreath and enhance the autumnal flair.
 
Exotic grace
The dried physalis fruits give the wreath an enchanting grace and exoticism with their vibrant orange-coloured shell and delicate calyxes. The syphalis fruits symbolise the abundance and richness of the autumn season and give the wreath a special radiance.

Authentic elegance
Also included in the wreath is the elegant red corn, which creates a fascinating contrast to the warm autumn tones with its striking colours. The dark shade of the corn gives the arrangement additional depth and blends in perfectly with the autumnal colour scheme.
