DIY Traditional Fall Wreath

This colorful Fall leaf wreath is perfect for your Autumn decor! It’s bright and colorful, welcoming, and most of all, easy! Learn how to make this Fall-inspired front door wreath with just a few supplies.

The crisp fall air has definitely arrived in Western PA, at least in the mornings.  I figured it was the perfect time to start some fall decorating, beginning today with a DIY Traditional Fall Wreath.

A bright and colorful fall leave wreath hangs on a teal front door. The faux leaves are bright orange and yellow, with orange and red berries and twigs, all in a round grapevine wreath.

I decided to go for a traditional “fall” wreath.  If there is such a thing.

If you’re double-checking to make sure you’re at the right blog … you are 😉  It may be shocking to not see a rustic and/or farmhouse DIY wreath instead.  I promise it’s just one small lapse this time.

Why traditional?  I love the gorgeous fall leaf colors.  The brilliant reds and oranges.  I just couldn’t think of a fall wreath without having those beautiful colors.

DIY Fall Leaf Wreath Supplies

Step 1. Start on the outer edge of the wreath

I started by wrapping the leaves around the outer edge of the grapevine, using my hot glue gun to spot-glue a few places.  The first piece of “garland” I used to wrap around the grapevine wreath about 1.5 times.

Step 2. Work your way around the wreath with the leaf garland

I then used the second piece of leaf “garland” (and I’m using quotes because is it garland?  I’m not really sure?) and, starting where I left off, continued wrapping around the grapevine wreath.

This second piece went around about 2 times, since it was for the inner (and smaller) center of the wreath.

Again, I used my hot glue gun in a few places to secure the leaves in place.  I didn’t worry too much about making it look too perfect.  There’s no right or wrong way to make a wreath, which is why the actual process of making a wreath is so easy!

Step 3. Add fall berry garland

Next, I added some fall-colored berry garland.  Instead of using my hot glue gun here, I weaved the berries around the leaf garland and in between some of the branches of the grapevine wreath.

Step 4. Secure with floral wire

Finally, the wreath was looking a little too wild so I used some old floral wire I had to tie a few pieces down to the grapevine wreath.

Here’s the “little too wild” version:

Step 5. Hang the fall wreath on the door

Ahh, doesn’t it just remind you of fall??  And so so easy to make.  I love seeing those reds and oranges and a few actual leaves falling from the trees.  Fall will be here soon, friends 🙂
