Next, let's take a look at what we'll need for this wreath. Let's start with an assortment of fall leaves. As you see here, I chose an assortment of red maple leaves, but you can use whatever you like. You'll need between 40-50 of these...

You'll also need a 18" grapevine wreath (with jute twine wrapped around it)...

Several stems of sage green flowers (approximately 7-8) similar to this one...

Several stems (about a dozen) of burgundy sunflowers...

And you'll need a half-dozen or so pre-made apple picks that have fall leaves and berries included on them...

Just so you know what you're working towards, here's a couple of pictures of the final creation...


And, if you're wondering where to source the raw materials for this wreath, Michael's, the popular arts and crafts store, is a great spot. Believe or not, I've encountered good prices and a decent selection at my local Wal-Mart on occasion, too. Online, this is a good spot, and so it this.
