Make this quick and easy Fall wreath for your home decor in just 5 minutes!
I’m an impatient crafter with the attention span of a gnat.
Are you, too?
Oh, good!
Then pull up a chair beside mine, because we’re going to make the quickest Fall wreath you’ve ever heard of. ;)
How to make the Quickest (and Reusable) Fall Wreath Ever! ;)
Supplies:
(I’ve included affiliate links to items similar to the ones I used, for your shopping convenience.)
- Grapevine Wreath
- Fall leaves artificial flowers
- Sunflowers artificial flowers
- Artificial sprigs of greenery
- Wire cutters
Since I’ve already admitted to being an impatient crafter, I’ll confess something else: when I buy new home decor, I want to reuse it over and over in different ways.
Take the artificial flowers in the supply list above, for instance.
Just a few days ago, they looked like this:
I plopped them all into a stoneware pitcher to make an arrangement for the living room. But want to know a secret? (Of course you do!)
I didn’t cut a thing. I simply twisted the artificial flower stems and wires until everything stayed right where I wanted it –
So I could reuse those flowers to make this wreath!
HOW TO MAKE A QUICK & EASY REUSABLE DECOR WREATH
Step 1: Pull apart or cut the artificial leaves into individual pieces or small bunches.
Step 2: Push them into the grapevine wreath until they’re secure.
Note that I don’t use any glue or extra wire to attach them to the wreath.
That makes it easy to remove the flowers later to create a new seasonal wreath, AND to use them next Fall in a different way! ;)
Step 3: Keep layering the leaves, all pointing in the same direction, and then add the main flowers.
As you place the flowers, hold the wreath up so you can see how it will look when it’s hanging.
I found it helpful to actually hang it on the wall and arrange it there.
Keep adding flowers until it looks finished to you!
I ended up not even using all the artificial flowers I had. A few extra sprigs of greenery were all it needed. Sometimes less is more when it comes to wreath making.
Now it’s ready to hang on the front door and add some cozy Fall color to a brand new season –
in just 5 minutes!!
Tips for buying artificial greenery
Artificial greenery and faux flowers can get expensive super fast!
I like to shop for them when they’re on sale. These were buy-one-get-one-free at Micheals, so they cost only $9.99.
Another tip is to shop at the end of each season, when prices are often even better. I picked up a few new “Summer” artificial flowers at the same time for 70% off!
Turn this reusable wreath into a new look for a new season
I’ve been using this “cheater method” for wreath making for a while now.
This simple Spring wreath was made with the same method:
If you want to hide the handy magnetic wreath hanger for metal doors (which I love!), you could always tie a ribbon over the top, too.
