Simple DIY Fall Wreath Instructions
Part of the fun of this modern farmhouse fall wreath is that you can use whatever florals you like the best, in whatever amounts you want. Use white pumpkins or blue velvelt pumpkins of whatever you like to welcome fall! I suggest prepping all the florals and greenery and laying them out on the wreath before securing anything, to ensure you like the placement.
Prepare the Eucalyptus
Use wire cutters to cut the flat eucalyptus stems off. This step provides more control over where the eucalyptus is placed on the wreath. You can also leave it on the main stem and weave it between the grapevines if you prefer.
Secure the Eucalyptus
Apply hot glue to a few of the eucalyptus stems to ensure they stay securely on the wreath. Then, weave them into the grapevine, distributing them evenly around the wreath on one side
Add White Eucalyptus and Cotton Tails
Follow the same process with the white eucalyptus, and then cut and add the cotton tail pieces and leaves. This step adds depth and texture to your wreath.
Attach Mums
Using wire cutters, trim the mum stems, leaving about 2 inches of the stem. Apply hot glue to the trimmed end and then weave the stem into the grapevine. This step introduces beautiful floral accents to your wreath.
Attach Pumpkins
The pumpkin stems can be tough to cut, so use heavy-duty wire cutters or a knife if necessary. Layer everything onto the wreath, and finally, add the wicker-looking pumpkins for a charming fall touch.
Final Touch
To complete your Farmhouse Fall Wreath, add the greenish/brownish eucalyptus sprigs. These will provide a lovely contrast and enhance the modern farmhouse aesthetic.
Variations for Your Fall Craft
While this tutorial provides a specific design, don’t be afraid to get creative and add your personal touch to your Farmhouse Fall Wreath. Here are some variations to consider:
- Color Palette: Experiment with different color schemes. You can opt for traditional fall colors like deep reds, oranges, and browns or go for a more muted, neutral look for a unique twist.
- Additional Accents: Feel free to incorporate other Dollar Tree finds like mini pumpkins, berries on a pick, faux acorns, or decorative ribbon to make your wreath even more special.
- Seasonal Themes: Instead of a traditional fall wreath, create wreaths that represent other seasons, such as winter with snowflakes and pinecones or spring with vibrant flowers and butterflies. This classic wreath would be really easy to swap out decor picks for the seasons!
Common Questions About This Farmhouse Dollar Tree Wreath DIY
Can I use a different type of wreath base?
Yes, you can use a foam wreath base or even a wire wreath frame as alternatives to the grapevine wreath. For a minimalist DIY fall wreath, use a large embroidery hoop or metal floral hoop (which you can also find at Dollar Tree!).
Other types of wreath bases may need to be covered with ribbon or fabric (like buffalo check ribbon on the dollar tree sunflower wreath here). Just adjust the attachment method accordingly for the flowers and greenery.
How long will this wreath last?
With proper care, your Farmhouse Fall Wreath can last for the entire fall season. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve its quality for use next fall, too.
Can I make this wreath with kids?
Crafting this wreath can be a family-friendly activity, but adult supervision is recommended when using hot glue guns and wire cutters to ensure safety.
