I think all my projects are starting to catch up with me…I actually fell asleep twice during the massage on my hooker hookie day with Mama Sugarplum yesterday!!?? I’m sure it had nothing to do with the huge fajita feast we had first. But we did have a great time, and thanks for the sweet comments.
Remember when I knocked-off Ballard’s Burlap Vases? I love perusing home catalogs and being struck with the hope knowledge that I can reproduce something similar….for, of course, much cheaper!
I loved this Magnolia Wreath in the latest Pottery Barn Catalog, but didn’t love the $99 price tag:
(Don’t think I’m not eyeballing the metallic wreath too!)
Especially since I have a Magnolia tree in my backyard! Mr. Sugarplum spends the summer cursing it for dropping little pods in the pool, but I’m pretty thrilled about having it right now!
(Note to self: wash windows and reposition rug pad!)
(oops, nice reflection of crazy crafter in her pajamas!)
Love it! It will be beautiful once it dries too!!
This is so fun! Thanks for sharing!
This is my favorite DIY so far this fall/winter. $2! simple 3 (4?) step process! simple elegant natural aesthetic! Even I, a low-maintenance minimalist with zero initiative, could wow the fam with this project. It shouldn't even be called a project, except to the kids who will be the ones gathering the leaves. YES! Thank you Cassie!

So beautiful! I think I need to steal a branch from my parents magnolia and do this myself!
SUPER cute (of course)! You could even paint them like the PB version if they dry out after awhile. Love it.
This looks so beautiful. Great job. I wish I had a magnolia tree.
Nice job! I bought a magnolia wreath from a tree farm 4 years ago for $80. It turn brown 1 year later but now it is the perfect fall wreath. I hope yours holds up as well as mine has. I store it in a box so that nothing can break the crispy leave.
Better than the original!!!
Hello my little elf. Way better than the original. We are rockin' the faux Christmas tree over here as well . . . do you know that I completely forgot we have a magnolia tree in our year. It never blooms well, but sure does have those gorgeous leaves. Thanks for the how to my friend. I think I will make two for my French doors.
Great job, it really looks good. My sister and I always drool over this room in the catalog. You made it look easy, I might just try my luck.
i love the natural simplicity of this wreath- and the white bow is perfect!!! it's beautiful, cassie!
I don't have a magnolia tree myself, but seeing all of these great wreaths made from their leaves makes me want to swipe some from my neighbors!
VERY pretty!! I love the bright green color. Magnolia trees are my fave 🙂
I'm really lovin' the vibrant green of the leaves, especially beautiful as winter sets in!
Yep, I like yours better…and $2?!?! Amazing. I love bringing in the outdoors, fresh greenery just adds an element that nothing else can. I'm lovin' it!

I like your wreath better than the original! Now this is a project I can do today! We have magnolia trees so this is perfect. I love your simple white bow. Nice simple and elegant! Thank you for theinspiration.
At the risk of copying. I love it! How fantastic to use something from your own garden, that's free and green. Clearly it will look great brown too. I couldn't help but think what a great Grecian head piece you could create with those leaves and a toga. 🙂
I love this! I made a dried magnolia wreath for the fall, but I love the way the light streams in through the green, it's gorgeous! I think this means I have to make another trip to my mother's house to get more leaves!
You're making me want to "borrow" some leaves from the neighbor's yard! That's great to have a magnolia tree in your backyard! $2 never looked so good!!
Cassie you are so clever – I'm going to go hunting in the garden this weekend to see what leaves i can use for this project!

I love this idea!! Now, if only I had some trees with leaves on them! haha.
It's so pretty! Gosh you're so clever! And, frankly, I much prefer your green one to the brown PB one. Nice job!
That is gorgeous! I love the vibrant color! So pretty!
Just beautiful!! Simple, natural and elegant.
It is gorgeous!!
I'm glad that you posted this DIY. I was just thinking about making one of these this weekend! Thanks!
It's awesome, Cassie! And a great price, too. I love the bright green and freshness it offers.
Ah I love that! And I even have 2 magnolia trees in the back yard. Why haven't I done this yet??
That looks fab! We had a magnolia tree in our backyard growing up, so I've always love the blooms and the leaves. Your wreaths are great!
awesome! i have a trash bin and at times two stray cats in my backyard…i want to see what wreath you come up with that 🙂
but seriously, i love magnolia leaves and think the liver greenery is the perfect accent to your sunny room.
kudos! and on a different note, i have another wreath project i am highlighting tomorrow! great minds think alike!
That wreath looks amazing!! I just might have to try to recreate that but I am so not crafty! Great job!
Love it (I'm a Mississippi girl). Can't wait to try this next year!
I love this! I just created a magnolia wreath of my own a week ago and I saw yours on the link party!
LOVE it – we have magnolias in our new yard, I will have to try this next year once the trees are mature!
Love the wreath. Oh I would love a Magnolia tree. .of course that would mean I was living in a warmer climate and that would be truly great!

That is absolutely beautiful! The magnolia tree is one of my favorites, and you surely made great use of the beautiful leaves.

Oh my gosh!! I love,love,LOVE this!! I wish I had a magnolia tree up here in Illinois! Wanna ship me some leaves?? 😉 -jk
Love it! I love the price tag, too. The sun looks so nice coming through the door. Good job!!
Great job! If you want to add a little shine or just to keep your leaves a bit longer, you can rub them with a little bit of oil (baby, vegetable, any kind really).
This is such a lovely alternative to an evergreen wreath. The colour is really pretty! Can't wait to give it a go. In the spirit of all things xmassy, here's some of the coolest Xmas Tees around, enjoy 🙂 http://bit.ly/XEPHxl
I am so excited! We just moved into a new home with a magnolia tree in the yard. I am SO going to make a wreath for our front door. I think it will look great in the spring as well as for Christmas.
