Autumn Centerpiece under $20

Supply List: (All my supplies came from Michaels Craft Store)
Green Wreath Form 8"
Autumn Leaves I package
Greening Pins
Minature Autumn Garland 4'
5 rolls of Autum colored Ribbon, 1/2" wide

Align the leaves around the middle of the edge and secure with the greening pins. Do not push the pins all the way in...they will go through your wreath form and scratch the table, besides we are going to use the pins to tie on the ribbons.Cut ribbon into 6" strips, making sure to make an angled cut on the ends. Start with one color and tie one to each of the greening pins. Keep adding until you have put every color ribbon on each pin.Twist the garland to allow it to lay on the edge of your first finished row, attach with greening pin the same way as the leaves. Keep twisting the garland into smaller circles until you have approx three rows. Again, tie your ribbons on to the tops of the greening pins. Add pins to cover any bear areas. Keep adding the ribbon until the wreath is full looking. Then you are DONE!! You can add a hanger to the back or use it as a candle wreath...or without anything in the middle.
