A Bounty of DIY Fall Wreaths

A Bounty of DIY Fall Wreaths

The possibilities are endless with wreath design. Making wreaths from fresh garden greenery is an easy project that adds style and (often) fragrance to your front door. These DIY wreaths are not just the hallmark of winter holidays – you can make one for any season. Here are some of our favorite autumn-inspired wreaths to adorn your door this fall.


Autumn Wreath Round-Up

The fall provides even more options, it seems, from dried seed heads to moss to fresh vegetable and flowers. You can come up with endless creative ways to make a fall wreath, but here are a few ideas to get you started. Use these as a jumping-off point and let your imagination go wild!


Ideas for DIY Wreaths


Collect a bunch of pinecones and bleach them to make this rustic-yet-modern wreath. See the full instructions here. You could also do this with untreated pinecones if you prefer, but we love the softer look of bleached pinecones.

Autumn Berries


Make a rose hip and hawthorn berry wreath with a foam wreath form, berries, and some pruners. Just cover the form with tightly packed rose hips and hawthorn berries by poking their stems into the foam, and voila!

It’s sweater season again, and even the wreaths are getting cozy! This project uses old sweaters upcycled into pretty felted succulents affixed to a grapevine form, creating a warm welcome at any entrance way.

Oh, and you can make a gorgeous wreath out of real succulents too. This beauty is lovely any time of year, as long as you have warm weather. For those of us with seasons, these succulent wreaths look their best in the fall after a summer of filling in and growing.

Succulent Wreath Refresh


Once you make a living succulent wreath, you will probably need to refresh it every now and then to keep it looking its best.



This autumn wreath gets a burst of color from the ornamental gourds, pumpkins, and artichokes that decorate it.
