# 🛒 HOBBY LOBBY FALL CRAFT OF THE DAY
## 🪵 Wooden Beaded Garland → “Harvest Blessings” Cottage Door Swag
Happy Monday, crafting friends! 💜
Today we're taking a little trip to **Hobby Lobby!**
We're going to combine a few simple craft supplies to make a gorgeous **Harvest Blessings Door Swag** that can hang on a front door, old window, cabinet, wall hook, or even across a vintage mirror.
Instead of a traditional round wreath, we're creating a beautiful **vertical cottage-style swag** filled with sunflowers, autumn leaves, wheat, wooden beads, ribbon, and a little “Harvest Blessings” sign. 🌻🌾🍂
It looks fancy—but it's easier than you might think!
### 🛒 WHAT YOU'LL NEED
Look for:
🌻 2–3 sunflower stems
🌿 Eucalyptus or greenery
🌾 Wheat or dried-grass stems
🍂 Autumn leaf stems
🪵 Wooden bead garland
🏷️ Small unfinished wooden sign
🎀 Plaid ribbon
🤎 Burlap ribbon
🤍 Lace or cream ribbon
🧶 Jute twine
🎨 Paint or stain
🖌️ Paintbrush
✂️ Scissors
🔥 Hot glue gun & glue sticks
🌸 Floral wire
**Money-saving tip:** Check what you already have before purchasing everything. Leftover ribbon, florals, wooden beads, and greenery from another project work perfectly!
### 1️⃣ CREATE YOUR GREENERY BASE
Lay several greenery stems on your work surface with the longest stems pointing downward.
Layer your autumn leaves over the greenery.
Secure them together using floral wire.
Don't worry about making everything perfectly even.
A cottage arrangement should feel **natural and gathered.**
### 2️⃣ ADD THE SUNFLOWERS 🌻
Place one large sunflower near the upper center.
Add one or two smaller blooms slightly lower.
Try placing them at different angles instead of creating a perfectly straight line.
This gives your swag dimension.
### 3️⃣ TUCK IN THE HARVEST TEXTURES 🌾
Now add:
🌾 Wheat stems
🍂 Autumn leaves
🌿 Eucalyptus
🍒 Berry stems
🌰 Small natural accents
Let a few pieces extend beyond the greenery.
Those little wispy stems give the arrangement movement.
### 4️⃣ MAKE A BIG COTTAGE BOW 🎀
Here's where we can have some fun!
Layer:
🤎 Burlap
❤️ Autumn plaid
🤍 Lace or cream ribbon
Tie a large bow and leave several long tails.
Attach it just underneath your sunflower cluster.
### 5️⃣ CREATE YOUR SIGN 🪵
Paint or stain your little wooden tag.
Add:
**HARVEST BLESSINGS**
Other beautiful choices:
🙏 **Grateful & Blessed**
🏡 **Welcome Home**
🌾 **Gather Together**
❤️ **Give Thanks**
🌻 **Bless This Home**
Tie the sign beneath your bow using jute.
### 6️⃣ ADD THE WOODEN BEADS
Now for the detail that makes this project extra special!
Drape a strand of wooden beads through the swag.
Let part of the garland hang naturally beneath your sign.
Add a jute tassel at the bottom if you'd like.
That little detail gives our project a beautiful **cozy cottage boutique look.**
### 7️⃣ CREATE YOUR HANGER
Use sturdy floral wire, ribbon, or jute to create a loop at the back.
Make sure everything is securely attached.
Then fluff your flowers, straighten your ribbon, and adjust your greenery.
### 8️⃣ HANG & ENJOY! 🍂
Display it on:
🚪 Front door
🪟 Vintage window
🪞 Old mirror
🔥 Fireplace mantel
🏡 Entryway wall
🗄️ Antique cabinet
🪜 Decorative ladder
Imagine this hanging from an old white window frame with a basket of apples, lantern, sunflowers, and plain harvest pumpkins underneath. 😍
### 💡 DON'T HAVE ALL THE HOBBY LOBBY SUPPLIES?
That's okay!
Mix **NEW + THRIFTED + WHAT YOU ALREADY OWN.**
Maybe you purchase only the sunflower stems and wooden sign.
Then use:
🎀 Ribbon from your craft stash
🌿 Greenery from an old arrangement
🪵 Beads from an old garland
🌾 Dried grasses
🪟 A thrifted window for displaying it
That's what this group is all about!
### 💰 HOBBY LOBBY BUDGET CHALLENGE
Set yourself a budget BEFORE walking into the store. 😂
Because we all know how that goes!
### Today's challenge: **$15 OR LESS**
Check the current sales and clearance sections first, then combine your finds with supplies you already have.
Can you make something that looks like boutique décor without paying boutique prices?
### ♻️ BONUS THRIFT FLIP!
Find an old wooden sign at a thrift store that isn't your style anymore.
Don't pass it by!
Paint over it.
Add your own lettering.
Attach today's swag.
Now you've combined a **thrift-store rescue with Hobby Lobby supplies** to create something completely new.
### 💜 TODAY'S INSPIRATION
Creating a beautiful home doesn't mean everything has to be new.
Some things are purchased.
Some things are thrifted.
Some things are passed down.
And some things are made by our own hands.
When they're brought together, they tell the story of the people who live there.
That's what makes a house feel like **home.** 💜
*"Every wise woman buildeth her house..."*
**— Proverbs 14:1 (KJV)**
### 🌻 QUESTION OF THE DAY
Okay, Hobby Lobby shoppers...
**Which aisle gets you EVERY TIME?** 😂
🎀 Ribbon
🌻 Florals
🪵 Wood crafts
🧶 Yarn & fabric
🏡 Home décor
🎨 Craft supplies
🍂 Seasonal décor
And if you've found a great Hobby Lobby bargain lately, **show us what you found!**
📸 We also want to see your latest thrift-store treasures, craft projects, autumn décor, furniture flips, and before-and-after transformations.
Have a beautiful Monday, crafting friends! 🌻🍂💜
