So remember that beautiful Wheat Bundle Fall Wreath I shared a while back, along with the story of the moth infestation? Well it turns out that the moths will not be stopped and a new generation of moths hatched out in it and were vying to get in the house every time we went in or out the front door. Despite being in love with it I had to let it go. (Cue musical rendition of the Frozen song….let it go, let it go…)
My front door was sad and shamefully naked but I really didn’t have much motivation to make anything elaborate, thus-you have today’s 5 minute Autumn Leaf Wreath. This is a no-fail, easy-peasy DIY wreath that adds a pretty punch of autumn color to your decor!
Why I love this DIY
This is probably one of my favorite fall decor DIYs I’ve shared on the blog. Why?
- it takes just 5 minutes to make
- you can get the supplies for $10-$15
- it is easy enough for kids to do
- you can remove the leaves from the wreath form to store after fall and reuse the wreath form
Supplies
- 4 six foot faux leaf garland
- 14″ wire wreath form
Tips
Add color variation for dimension. I picked four strands of the garland in slightly different tones (three reddish and one accent in gold) so it would add some depth to my wreath.
Save money on supplies. If you are lucky you can find nice leaf garlands at the Dollar Tree or other dollar store. They are also very affordable to pick up when you have craft store coupons-all 4 of mine were about $10 with a coupon!
Step by Step Tutorial
Star wrapping the garland (in the main color) around the wire form.
When you come to the end of the garland attach the round end to the next garland by sliding one loop through the other and continue to wrap.
Continue until all of your main color garland is on the wreath. Next, loosely wind the accent color garland around the entire leaf wreath to add a highlight. Secure the accent garland to itself to hold it in place.
This autumn leaf wreath is so fast and easy!
Do you have an autumn wreath up yet this year? Tell me about it in the comments!
Beautiful and simple!. I’m sure you can make a smaller one if you want to use it for a Thanksgiving table center piece. I’m always looking for easy, inexpensive crafts for my new blog thehappysenior.com and will share your site with my readers.
Great idea to make it smaller for a centerpiece Anne!
I made a wreath by putting a similar long fake leaf strip on a twig wreath. I added some silk sunflowers,dried seed heads,small bows & a large hessian bow.All of these I had in the basement. I am going to add a new wreath each season as it brightens up a boring door.
This is such a pretty wreath. Thank you for sharing this and all the delicious recipes too. I’ll be making this wreath and the pecan pie mini muffins for Thanksgiving. Thanks again 🙂
I’m so glad you liked it Jane!
Wow, that reminds me of a little Autumn wreath I made for my cubical when I worked in an office, there were 3 small ears of Indian corn, and everyone like it, after about a week, we kept seeing these little moths flying around, couldn’t figure out where the heck they were coming from…until I saw one flying out of the corn….ewwww….
I love this easy wreath! I have everything at home to make it!
I love this wreath. Thanks for sharing.
