Here’s one of the best fall wreath ideas this season, courtesy of @medecoryou. Start with a 16-in. wood wreath ring. Cover the top half of the ring with a row of split wood balls. For the bottom of the wreath, create a symmetrical floral arrangement using fall foliage and pinecones. Talk about a statement-making piece of fall decor! Pro tip: Paint the split wood balls for a custom look.
File this under fall gifts for your bestie. This pop-up card wreath unfolds to reveal the scenes of autumn. It’s perfect for decorating indoors, and it’s guaranteed to last for multiple autumns. Plus, a portion of sales are donated to plant a tree. Katie Bandurski, Taste of Home’s Senior Shopping Editor, shares about this wreath, “Adding it to my door took about five seconds (no nails required), and the darling bird detail makes me smile every time I see it.”
Forage in your own backyard to make this natural fall wreath. Collect acorns, small branches, pinecones and other autumn offerings; then use a hot glue gun to attach them to a foam wreath. Start with larger pieces, then fill in the gaps with smaller items. If you don’t have access to the real stuff, purchase faux foliage for the same effect. After all, decor that utilizes natural elements make the best fall wreath ideas. You could also use this wreath as a centerpiece on your Thanksgiving table.
This bat wreath by @maranda_christine_ is spooky yet delicate; perfectly balanced to capture the playfulness of Halloween decor without going over the top. To create your own, start with this natural, wispy twig wreath from Michael’s. Then it’s as simple as adding on a few accessories with glue. Arrange faux fall leaves in the middle of the wreath, and a few bat figurines along the outer border.
Here’s an autumn “wreath” that’s a little outside the box. Hang a small chalkboard on your front door with a welcoming message (we love these chalk markers). Then wrap a long autumn garland made with flexible wire around the frame. This one is great for fall, but you can actually use it year-round! Just change out the garland and the chalkboard message to fit each season.
This example by @handcrafted.by.evelyne utilizes both spider mums and spider pattern ribbon to make a cute yet creepy Halloween wreath. To make your own, cover a foam or grapevine wreath with faux black mums. Then top with a spider ribbon bow! This is another one that can be customized for each season by simply changing the color of the mums and the ribbon. As one of the eeriest fall wreath ideas, make one for yourself or as a Halloween gift for your spooky season-obsessed bestie.
For this cute and spooky wreath, spray paint a grapevine or twig wreath. Here, an imperfect paint job lends to the eerie feel. Create a spiderweb from twine then nestle faux spiders into the web. Top it off with artificial flowers or ribbon to make into a bow. It looks great next to your Venus flytrap plant!
The best DIY fall wreath ideas incorporate items you already have lying around the house, like this upcycled owl wreath. Start with a twig wreath and create wings with bark (fabric-wrapped foam would also work). Mason jar lids and floral stems make up the eyes. And the belly is an old placemat! Don’t be afraid to use unconventional craft supplies when making a wreath like this, but aim to keep everything in the same color family for a cohesive look.
File this under pretty pumpkin decor ideas to spice up your home this autumn. This cute pumpkin wreath is actually an easy DIY project. Start with a 16-inch wire wreath and about 20 yards of orange burlap ribbon. Secure one end of the burlap ribbon to the wire frame using a knot. Then, gather a small amount of burlap ribbon into a loop and push it up between two of the wires in the frame. Continue looping and pushing the loops through the wires, until the whole frame is filled.
This simple clothespin fall wreath is a fun piece of Thanksgiving decor. Add your family’s personal touch by writing things you’re thankful for on each of the clothespins.
For that minimalist look you don’t have to DIY, look no further than this spooky foliage hoop wreath. The black and fall foliage and spider detail offer the perfect balance of spooky yet elegant. It also makes a beautiful centerpiece in a fall gift basket.
Nothing screams fall more than this dried wheat wreath. This handmade beauty is available in two sizes—and it doesn’t require any DIYing on your end. It makes for a lovely fall centerpiece, too.
Stunning fall wreath ideas, check! This fall creation by @kclee.co highlights the simple beauty of autumn leaves. If it inspires you to make your own, start with a wispy twig wreath then add the fall leaves.
Fluffy pampas grass is the perfect fall accent, which is why we are obsessed with this stunning pampas grass wreath by @stixandstems_. This example uses real dried pampas grass which looks gorgeous, but can be too delicate for outdoor use. Go for more durable artificial pampas grass if you opt to make your own and want to hang it on the front door.
For more of a contemporary twist this season, try a blend of neutral sage greens, browns and creams with this gorgeous asymmetrical wreath. It’s available in three sizes and also comes in a full wreath instead of the half version. These are hand-made in Virginia.
