DIY Walnut Wreath! Garden Answer sallieluna: Yeah I got mine finished. FYI buy more nuts and glue, I had some falling off and it is nice to have extra on hand, this is her third or fourth so hers is perfect spacing. Also some in the bag were cracked. I started with my cheap little blue glue gun but ran and bought a new bigger glue gun. Also I recommend using lots of glue, the longer sticks really are the best. On mine up close u can see my glue but since about 15 fell off when I first picked it up it is a must. It is all worth it in the end they look expensive and rich. Im keeping mine inside. I ordered the wreath part fro jofab because it is wider. Was about $13. It is called a willow wreath. I will switch out ribbons for fall and CHRISTMAS. It is heavier than most wreath but no worries. Thank u Laura, what a pleasure

I can't believe how many people in the comments section think wildlife will get a whiff of that glue and spray paint and just chow down on the walnuts. They're going to smell something isn't right and leave it alone. I've tossed almonds I bought in the supermarket to some squirrels and they completely ignored them. Don't know why but apparently, they have their own ways of collecting food. Raccoons, on the other hand, will eat food right out of your hand. like food you're currently eating.

We have squirrels and chipmunks, and raccoons. Boy the noise they would make all night long. I had put out suet one year. Found the cage 200 feet away near the back fence of our yard. We have a corn field next door. Every day there are 10-15 ears of corn in or by our trees on the fence line. I have a trail camera out and have caught some great pics. Having fun in NE Ohio.

My entire front yard is resigned to only shade gardens, due to the direction our house faces, and due to an oak tree and the house itself shading the yard. I'm growing very tired of hostas. And also, there's virtually no height in any if the gardens, because shade plants are all so small and low.
Any suggestions in how to have a tall, lush shade garden?

I was so inspired to make this adorable wreath that I went to my local craft store and bought everything necessary to make it. what I didn't plan for was not being able to find whole walnuts in my area! It would be too costly to buy them on Amazon ($150. So bummed: ( I am still on the hunt though, not giving up. Wish me luck!

Love this project. Reminds me of the beautiful items Martha Stewart used to make back when she started and was filming her show from her home on Turkey Hill Road. I have a lot of squirrels, though, and they are frequently on my front porch. I wonder if they would try to steal the nuts? Maybe they wouldn't be able to reach it.

Just finished making this and it turned out amazing. I had to use a straw wreath form my hobby lobby didnt have anything like the one in the video so well see if it holds up. this was much heavier than I expected and I wish I had found a sturdier wreath hanger but it looks amazing Ill be making another one soon!

Just a couple things. First your Moms wreaths look darker. Is that just a camera/lighting thing? Second, you hung it in the chicken coop that no longer gets shade because of the tree being removed right? So wont the glue melt being in that spot? Will the wreath be staying there or was it just for the video?
reply

My Wife would go NUTS for one of those! I think I might ask her to collect Pine Cones if the Squirrels haven't got to them already, to keep the cost down a little and leave the squirrels some peanuts as a swap!
How can anyone give this video a thumbs down? A brilliant video. A BIG THUMBS UP FROM ME

Hi Laura and Aaron! What a fun project! Where's Mom to help you? LOL! It's nice how you and your Mom do so much together. Your wreath turned out really nice. Too bad about the glue gun, but I'm sure you got your $'s worth out of it LOL! Thank you both for sharing!
