Fall Wreath DIY Instructions: How To Make An Autumn Wreath Using A Grapevine Base

1. First, lay out the autumnal foliage on top of the grapevine wreath to get a good idea of what your wreath will look like. Chose different sized and different looking fall leaves, flowers, and berries. This will add more dimension and make the wreath look more interesting. Feel free to use artificial flowers and props as you don’t have to worry about them wilting. The foliage should be laid out symmetrically but gather to a fuller point at the bottom of the wreath.
2. The stems of faux flowers and artificial berries will need to be tucked into the wreath or wrapped around it. If you want to make it permanently attached, coat the points in glue using a hot glue gun. This step is optional but it is a better way to secure them.

3. Continue around the entire wreath until you are satisfied with the coverage and it is all secured. See how easy this grapevine wreath hack makes this process? At this point you could and hang your harvest wreath door decoration using a wreath hanger or proceed to add a touch of less permanent Halloween fun.

Autumn wreaths are typical decor between September and November. If you want to add some detachable Halloween decorations to your wreath for the month of October then continue on!

4. Take your wooden letters and paint them black. I used B-O-O as my wooden letters. (Acrylic paint works well and is easy to use. Do this over some scrap paper.)

5. Before the paint dries, sprinkle some orange/gold glitter light on top so the black still shows through.

6. Once everything is dry, glue your hooks on the back of the letters and hook them onto your wreath! Tip: paper clips make great hooks!

7. Display your classic fall wreath with touch of elegance and enjoy the sense of warmth it add to your home this fall.
