Fall Rake Head Wreath

Who says a Wreath has to be round? You can find Rake Wreaths on Pinterest and when I saw this rake head someone had thrown out I knew I wanted to make a Rake Wreath for myself. Super easy too, I purchased the leaves and a small grapevine wreath to spruce it up with at the dollar store. 

I had a burlap rice bag so I cut that up for a bow. Nice and rustic to go along with the rake head. The grapevine wreath I soaked in a bowl of water overnight. Then it was easy to take it apart and shape it how I wanted it to be. 

I played with placement of the vine on the rake head and using floral wire attached it.

 I wired the leaf sprays onto the rake head as well. The hardest part of this whole process was making a bow out of the burlap.

I made two looped pieces and wired them together. I then looped another piece of burlap over the middle to hide the wires. 

Using a safety pin I pinned it into place then wired the bow onto the rake head base as well. Another wire became a loop to hang it from. I love it! Fits right in around here too.
