Fall Wreath....

With the evenings getting cooler, I've been in "fall mode," working on different projects.  Here's one that I completed last night.  A super cute and quick wreath I made using Bernat Softee Chunky yarn for the wreath cover and bow and 3 of my Fall-themed Softies - the pumpkin, black cat and Frankenstein.  The wreath is a wicker-type that I bought at the Dollar Tree and measures 12".

I bought my Bernat Softee Yarn on sale on Amazon...If you shop for yarn on Amazon, I would very much appreciate clicking on my affiliate link on each side of my page to help me out!!!
