-
A medley of fall foliage (think leaves, berries, pinecones – the whole autumn gang!)
-
Your trusty Dixie Belle Chalk Mineral Paint in your chosen autumn shades
-
Dixie Belle Clear Coat or Gator Hide for that optional extra protection
-
A squad of Dixie Belle Paint Paintbrushes in various sizes

Newspaper or a drop cloth to keep your creative mess in check
Prepare to Create Magic and Color Your World
First, lay down some newspaper or a drop cloth – we’re all about making messes in style! It’s time to paint that wreath base! Channel your inner artist with Dixie Belle Chalk Mineral Paint in hues like Rustic Red, Coffee Bean, or Dixie Belle’s Terra Clay Paint in Marigold, or Wheat. Slap on those colors and don’t be afraid to leave bits unpainted for that rustic charm. Let it dry – patience, you’ve got this!
Foliage Fashion Show
Grab your fall foliage friend, and let’s paint the town (well, wreath) together! Dip into those Dixie Belle Chalk Mineral Paints and give those leaves, berries, and pinecones a makeover. Precision is key, so unleash the small brushes for those intricate details. Oh, and don’t forget to let ’em dry like the rock stars they are. With your painted foliage in tow, let’s get arranging! Glue ’em onto your wreath base with a hot glue gun, starting with the big stars and filling in the gaps with the smaller ones. Balance is the name of the game here!
Fancy Finishing Touches
Pinecones, acorns, and faux flowers – oh my! Amp up the charm by adding these fall-tastic embellishments. You know the drill: paint ’em up if you want, then hot glue ’em on like they’re the VIPs of your wreath party. If you’re a fan of extra security, give your paintwork a coat of Dixie Belle Clear Coat or Gator Hide. This superhero step ensures your masterpiece can brave the elements with grace and style.
All About That Bow
It’s time for the icing on the cake! Add a ribbon or bow to the top of your wreath – it’s like the cherry on top, but way more fabulous. Use a pre-made bow or let your creative genius run wild and create your own. Secure it with hot glue, and voila! The fabulous wreath above was created by Rehab 2 Fab Designs using Dixie Belle Paint Products, you can watch the process here!
