Step-by-Step:
1. Paint wood letter with black paint, be sure to cover sides!
2. Assemble wreath, secure crows and floral accents with floral wire and fan out wings, twigs, leaves and pumpkins as desired (I used three sprays on the right and one spray on the left)
3. Decoupage scrapbook pieces to wood letter (I used 3 layers of modge podge with 1 hr dry in between coats)
4. Use knife to cut excess paper edges from back
5. Using floral wire and a stapler**, secure wood letter to wreath
6. Fashion a hanger from floral wire
7. Hang it!

**can alternatively hot glue floral wire to back of letter


Total assembly time about an hour, plus or minus diaper changes... looks like it's time for a pumpkin spice latte!
