I was looking around for an east autumn project to do when i found this great one from Martha Stewart - gotta love her!
It looks pretty easy and the materials are inexpensive as well.
All you need is:
A roll of brown craft paper - Dollar tree has it for $1 a roll
A few sheets of metallic paper in fall colors
Coordinating wide ribbon for the bow
A 20" double ring wire wreath form - but get a smaller one if you want to cut out fewer leaves
A staple gun or glue gun
Scissors
Paper Wreath How-To
1. Cut several long, 1 1/2-inch-wide strips of kraft paper. Wrap around a wreath form (ours was 20 inches in diameter) to cover; staple.
2. Cut several 5-by-10-inch rectangles from kraft paper; fold accordion-style. Cut out multiple leaves.
3. Cut more 2 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch rectangles from metallic papers; fold on the diagonal, at a slight curve.
4. Cut out single leaves; gently pinch to create a curved shape. Staple all leaves to wreath form, overlapping. Embellish with a brown satin bow.

I made two of these and it's pretty easy. It took me about 2 hours and cost about $6 for supplies.
