Today I want to show you how to make a wonderful wreath with beechnuts!
Next to doing some crafting this will also force you to go outside and into nature to find what you need! A perfect moment to share with your kids and family. 


What you need for this project!
*
A whole bunch of beechnuts!
* Scissors
* A wreath made of straw.
* A glue gun and fillings.
* A smile and happy thoughts! 

Start: Cut off the little sticks at the end of the beechnut. This will make it so much easier to glue them to your wreath. It is a little hard work but really worth it to make it look so much better! 

Warning:  You are going to work with burning hot glue!
Make sure you glue gun is ready to be used. Pick up one beechnut and add some of the glue at the back side of the nut. Please be careful not to get the hot glue on your fingers! It can really burn your skin badly! Don't wait too long and push the beechnut onto the wreath. Push it hard enough but gentle enough not to break it. hold it at its spot for a few seconds before letting go. The glue will dry up really fast when it becomes cold again.

REPEAT, REPEAT AND REPEAT!
For the best result you have to glue the nuts as close together as you can. ALSO it might help if you place the wreath onto something to lift it. That way you can also reach the bottom! 

amazing right?
And you only used 2 items and a bit of glue to create this! With Autumn being here this wreath will look amazing in your living room.

Thank you so much! It's some work to do but the result is truly amazing.

Wow, that looks lovely. It must have taken forever to put them all on there. ;-)
I see a beautiful pillar candle standing in the middle for a centerpiece.

it does take some time yes. I think it took about a hour to get all the nuts on there but like I said it's so worth it. Nature can be so amazing to craft with. It does not need much to be amazing. And yes, a pillar candle in the middle would really light it up.

Thank you :D Sometimes you just need to glue the first thing you think of onto a wreath and see what happens. In this case I really think it looks amazing.

I agree, it looks realy cool!
