How to Choose the Right Fall Wreath for Your Home
Before you reach for the glue gun, take a quick look at the place where your wreath will hang.
For a sheltered front door:Â Grapevine wreaths, faux florals, ribbon, pumpkins and fabric are all wonderful choices.
For a door exposed to rain and strong sun:Â Choose weather resistant faux stems, painted metal, plastic or sealed wood. Save dried flowers, paper leaves and burlap for a covered porch or an indoor wall.
For a small space:Â An embroidery hoop, metal ring, basket or picture frame gives you plenty of style without overwhelming the door.
For a wreath you can reuse:Â Attach stems and accents with floral wire instead of permanent glue. When the season changes, remove the Fall pieces and give the same base a brand new look.
For an expensive look on a small budget:Â Choose a tight color palette, repeat each color at least three times and mix several textures. A little editing usually makes an inexpensive wreath look far more polished than adding one more random pick.
Fresh Fall Favorites and Showstoppers
1Here's How to Make a Gorgeous DIY Dried Flower Wreath
We are beginning with the shining glory of the entire collection… and just look at her! Midwest Living visits Sunny Meadows Flower Farm to show us how bundles of everlasting blooms can be layered around a wreath form in a glorious rainbow of natural color.
This is not a quick little craft, but it is the kind of wreath that makes you stop and stare. The tutorial explains how to create the small flower bundles first and then overlap them as you work around the form. Give this beauty a protected place indoors and enjoy every delicious detail through Fall and Winter.

2Wreath Making: A Neutral Fall Wreath Idea
Ann creates the softest Fall welcome with ivory leaves, creamy pumpkins, cotton stems and berries on a grapevine base. The loose wispy shape keeps all those quiet colors from feeling flat and looks absolutely beautiful against her blue front door.
I especially love that she encourages us to use a beautiful store bought wreath as inspiration and then make it our own with supplies that suit our homes and budgets. This is fresh, elegant and neutral without losing one bit of its Autumn personality.

3My Annual Ritual: Crafting a Modern, Foraged Fall Wreath
Jennifer turns garden clippings into a modern asymmetrical wreath filled with wheat, trailing amaranth, strawflowers, gomphrena, sedum and feathery ornamental grass. The open handmade grapevine base gives every bloom room to breathe and makes the finished design feel light, wild and wonderfully artistic.
Her best advice may be the simplest… hang the wreath up and step back before declaring it finished. That little change in perspective makes it much easier to see where one more flower or wisp of grass is needed.

4Make Your Own Stunning Dried Flower Wreath for Fall
This abundant garden wreath feels like the loveliest goodbye to Summer. Jennifer gathers sunflowers, hydrangeas, celosia, amaranth, strawflowers, seed pods, herbs, grasses and berries… then lets the flowers finish drying naturally right on the wreath.
There is so much texture and personality here, yet the process is wonderfully relaxed. Begin with the largest flowers, keep layering and allow the natural shapes of the garden to guide you. No two wreaths will ever look exactly alike and that is part of the magic.

5Easy $20 DIY Wood Slice Pumpkin Wreath for Rustic Fall Decor
Rachel turns a recycled cardboard box and a collection of wood slices into the most charming rustic pumpkin. Large slices define the outside shape, smaller pieces fill the gaps and a real twig becomes the perfect little stem.
Plaid ribbon and curly natural twigs finish the design without covering all that wonderful wood grain. If you plan to hang it outdoors, follow Rachel’s suggestion and replace the cardboard with a moisture resistant base.

6DIY Vintage Frame Wreath With Feathers
A beautifully aged frame from the 1930s gives this wreath instant character. A small grapevine wreath nestles inside the frame while feathers and frayed linen ribbon add softness, movement and just the right amount of rustic Fall charm.
This is proof that an imperfect thrifted treasure can become the most interesting thing in the room. Because of the vintage frame and delicate feathers, it is best enjoyed indoors where every detail can be appreciated.

This little woodland wreath is unexpected, trendy and ridiculously cute! Rachel paints inexpensive mushrooms in moss green, sienna and warm rust, adds a touch of antique gold and tucks them into Spanish moss on a ribbon wrapped form.
It is small enough for a kitchen wall, cabinet door or cozy vignette… and different enough to make everyone ask where you found it. We love a craft that does not look like everything else in the seasonal aisle!

8How To Make A Paper Bag Fall Leaf Wreath
Yes… those warm brown oak leaves began as an ordinary paper grocery bag! A paint marker supplies the delicate veins, while acorns, backyard twigs and ribbon give the finished wreath wonderful natural texture.
This is inexpensive upcycling at its very best. It requires a little peaceful scissor time, but the result looks perfectly at home over a vintage printer’s drawer, on a cabinet or anywhere indoors that needs a quiet touch of Fall.

9How to Make a Beaded Fall Wreath
Cindy’s wooden bead wreath has a secret that makes it especially clever… the full floral swag can be removed and replaced for another season. A thrifted embroidery hoop creates the base, while beads give it that clean, high end farmhouse look.
For Fall, she creates a lush arrangement with greenery, woven pumpkins and soft natural colors. This is a brilliant choice for anyone who loves seasonal decorating but does not have room to store four or five complete wreaths.

Frequently Asked Questions About DIY Fall Wreaths
How can I make a Dollar Store wreath look more expensive?
Start by choosing only two or three main colors. Mix matte, soft and natural looking textures, then repeat each material around the design so it feels intentional. Trim away shiny plastic leaves that do not work and leave a little of the grapevine or hoop exposed when the base is attractive.
What is the easiest wreath for a beginner?
A grapevine wreath with faux stems is wonderfully forgiving. Arrange everything before adding glue, tuck the longest pieces in first and build the smaller flowers and accents on top. An olive bucket or basket door hanging is another very easy option because the container does most of the work.
Can I hang a handmade Fall wreath outside?
Yes, but match the materials to the location. Faux stems, sealed wood, metal and plastic accents handle a protected outdoor space best. Dried flowers, paper, untreated fabric and natural corn should stay under a deep covered porch or indoors. Always let a natural wreath dry completely before storing it.
How should I store a Fall wreath?
Remove dust, make sure the wreath is completely dry and place it in a sturdy wreath box or lidded plastic container. Keep it in a cool, dry place where it will not be crushed. Natural corn, acorns and other edible materials need especially secure storage to keep pests away.
