My grand plan is to make the accessories exchangeable, so I can flip it from Halloween to a Thanksgiving or harvest theme. The orange color pallet makes for a nice autumnal blank slate to play with, and I think it looks nice just on its own, without adding any accessories.

The pom-pom tutorial I followed can be found here. Super easy, by one of my favorite crafty gals, Miss Mustard Seed.
I interspersed the darker orange yarn amongst the pumpkin colored yarn, which I chose as the primary color.
Once you've made the pom poms, it's just a matter of attaching them to the wreath using the floral pins.
I hung a few Halloween-themed whimsical guys I've had for a while inside the wreath, and on the bottom. I got them at Pier One years ago, and I just love them. I break them out every Halloween. They make me happy.
Here's the full wreath in all its fluffy glory:
I think in a few weeks, I'll either replace the less than menacing monsters with pine cones or just leave it plain, so it's not Halloween specific, but just autumnal. It's a multi-functional wreath. Happy fall, y'all!
Ta-ta for now.
