6 easy fall wreaths you can whip up in a snap
Nature in fall offers some of the loveliest materials for crafting. You can whip up a wreath in no time with colorful maple leaves, heather, and small twigs.
1. Radiant in red
Create a vibrant fall wreath using rowan berries and branches from a decorative tree in your yard. If you gather the berry clusters ahead of time, store them in a damp place to help them stay plump. Check out the rowan berry wreath instructions!
2. The leaf raker’s reward
Gather colorful maple leaves into small bundles and attach them to a wreath base. You can also combine wild vine or other readily available leaves. The wreath keeps its colors nicely and dries with just a hint of curl. See how to make a maple leaf wreath!
3. Twisted from vines
Flexible, woody vines can be tied into a beautiful, airy door wreath. It’s easy to add ornaments or seasonal lights to match your style or mood.
4. Durable heather
A wreath made of heather is a simple yet lovely decoration you can put together from a potted plant or from your own yard. The heather stems keep their color once they’re dry, so your wreath will last well into fall. See how to make a heather wreath!
5. Gather the apples
Make an apple wreath by threading small ornamental apples from a purple ornamental apple tree onto sturdy wire. A good wire thickness is 1–1.5 mm (0.04–0.06 in). Add sea grass between the apples if you like. Keep threading until the ring is full, then twist the wire ends together. Finally, tie on a raffia ribbon for hanging.
6. Rugged beauty
Weathered, dead branches can be turned into a wreath with a rugged yet beautiful look that lasts from year to year. You can find suitable materials in the forest—naturally dried branches or driftwood washed ashore. Take a look at the driftwood wreath instructions here!
