You will need:

from the yard. Bring them in and trace the leaves
onto the foam board or cardboard. Use an Exacto
knife or scissors to cut out the shapes. Set them
aside.
Draw a 12 inch circle
on cardboard and inside this circle about 2
or 3 inches in, draw another circle. Cut out
the middle to make a wreath base. Glue on
your leaf cut-outs around the base, overlapping
as you go to cover the cardboard completely.

fabric bow

to the back for a hanger. There are some optional
ways you can make the leaves too:

store.

have the fake ones!
