DIY Autumnal Wreaths That Replace The Welcome Mat

When the leaves begin to change, we know it’s time to start breaking out the fall dΓ©cor – and there’s no better place to start than your front door. To add a touch of warmth to your welcome home, try making one of these easy autumn wreaths.

What You’ll Need:

  • Natural Grapevine Wreath (18” recommended)
  • Silk Fall Flowers and Fall Leaves
  • Wooden Letter(s)
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Scissors
  • Other accessories: ribbon, burlap, pinecones, twine etc.,

Steps:

Step 1: Visit your local craft store to purchase a natural grapevine wreath and your accessories, or to make it more of a fun experience, take a nature hike and pull some accessories off the trail.

Step 2: Lay your flowers, leaves, and other accessories on the wreath. This will give you a general idea of what your finished product will look like. Fiddle with the layout until you get it just right.

Step 3: Begin gluing your accessories onto the wreath with a hot glue gun. Be very careful not to get any of the hot glue on yourself, ouch!

Step 4: Hot glue typically sets within 5-30 seconds. However, leave your wreath on a flat service for a few minutes after completion to fully dry.

Step 5: Proudly hang your masterpiece on the front doorΒ  (or even over your mantle).

That’s it! This is an easy way of personalizing your fall dΓ©cor, that’s sure to make everyone feel welcome.
