How to make a DIY fall wreath

Materials

• 18 Inch Grapevine Wreath: This sturdy base provides a natural look and acts as the perfect canvas for your fall wreath.
• Waverly Tan Chalk Paint: Use this to add a rustic touch to your wreath; it can also be applied to various components for a more cohesive look.
• Dollar Tree Mushrooms: These charming accents bring a whimsical feel and complement the autumnal theme beautifully.
• Twine: Ideal for adding rustic charm, twine can be used for tying clusters of flowers or hanging the wreath.
• Orange, Purple, and White Mums: These vibrant flowers create a rich palette, embodying the colours of fall and adding texture to your creation.
• 1 Bushel of Flowers that are White Puffy Balls: These fluffy blooms provide softness and depth, enhancing the overall appearance of your wreath.
• Dollar Tree Mini Crate: This cute accessory can accentuate your wreath by introducing a new shape, enhancing the visual interest.

Equipment

• Scissors: A sharp pair will make cutting stems and twine quick and easy.
• Hot Glue Gun and Hot Glue Sticks: Essential for securing your wreath components together; the hot glue provides a strong bond that withstands the elements.
• Paint Brush: Perfect for applying the chalk paint evenly for a polished finish on your base and embellishments.

Step-by-step instructions

1. Start by painting or staining your crate. If using the tan chalk paint you only need one coat
2. Next pop all of the flowers off of the stems and add some hot glue around the bottom of the flower and wedge it in between the grapevine. I alternated where I placed the flowers and added some of the leaves as filler.
3. Next secure the crate to the grapevine wreath using the twine. I just weaved it in between one of the crate slates and wrapped it through some of the grapevine.
4. I next added some hot glue to the bottom of the mushrooms to secure them in the crate and you could add some moss to the bottom for some added height for the mushrooms.
5. I made a small bow with some of the twine and added it with hot glue to the front of the crate.

Tips

• When arranging flowers, place larger ones first, followed by smaller ones to create depth and a balanced look.
• If you want to ensure longevity, consider sealing your finished wreath with an outdoor sealant to protect it from moisture.
• Don’t hesitate to change up colors or materials depending on your own personal style or the theme of your décor.

Craft Variations

1. Rustic Charm: Incorporate burlap elements and pinecones for a more rural aesthetic.
2. Elegant Fall: Use silk flowers and elegant ribbons to create a timeless and sophisticated look.
3. Whimsical Wreath: Include lighter pastel colors and fantasy elements like glittery accents or fairy lights for a playful touch.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long will the wreath last outdoors?

The durability of your wreath depends on the materials used. Natural elements may last a few weeks to a month, while artificial flowers can last much longer.

2. Can I use live flowers?

While live flowers provide a fresh look, they require regular maintenance. Consider using preserved flowers for a lasting appeal.
