How to Make a Festive Fall Wreath
Hi everyone! Yesterday I shared a Christmas wreath project, but today I’m going backwards to show you a quick and festive fall wreath. A couple of days ago, I had a chance to pop into Michael’s and they had an 80% off section, which I, of course, immediately went over to. I saw that they had really nice artificial mums on sale.
The fall wreath that I’ve hung for about ten years has served us well, but it has grown quite faded and raggedy. The time had come to replace it.
Michael’s offered these multi-colored mums for $3 each–80% off of $15.
Just a couple of weeks ago, I bought this grapevine wreath at a garage sale for a dollar.
The flower heads easily popped off the stems, and I cut the leaves into individual pieces, thinking I might use them, but I didn’t. I’ll save them for another project.
I laid the mums out in a couple of different ways. First I kind of zig-zagged them, but kept them pretty close together, then I placed them single file, like you see here.
I liked single file the best, so I hot glued them to the wreath.
I had the burlap ribbon on hand. I think I paid $3 for the roll and I’ve made two bows out of it. So for $8.50 I have a brand new fall wreath that I’m pretty strongly in like with.
See a similar all-white wreath here.

Pretty!
Wow your wreath came out so pretty and you did a great job making it Diana. I'm headed to Michaels tomorrow and I can't wait to see what goodies I will be picking up! Have a wonderful day.

Love the colors, Diana! and the burlap bow is perfect in its simplicity. Very pretty!
So pretty! And you can't beat 80% off–I love Michaels! Have a great weekend! Blessings, Cecilia
It;s beautiful I love all of the lovely autumn colors. Thank you for sharing and for linking up to the Thursday Favorite Things Blog Hop. Watch for your feature on Monday xo
Such a lovely wreath made even better by the bargain you got on the supplies! Thanks for sharing it with Make It Monday.
Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for the step by step instructions too! 🙂
Lovely, simple and gloriously fall! Love your creativity!
Your colorful wreath is beautiful and thrifty, two of my favorite attributes. Thank you for sharing at The Southern Special.
Perfect for Fall Diana! Thanks for sharing it with SYC.

Another hit! When this one starts to fade, spray it with some clear spray and that will brighten it up (or sprinkle it with diamond dust for “the frost just hit it” look! I love all kinds of wreathes; poor Al puts up with Christmas ones on my front hall door year round as I leave it there for several days to 1) see where the bald spots are, and 2) pick off glue strings!
I’m going to try this very soon.
Good luck, Susan! If you get the chance, why not drop me a note with a photo when it’s done?!!
