I love Fall. I know who doesn’t right? Well one thing I love about Fall is the endless amount of crafts I can do. Last year I made an Easy Fall Wreath for our door and decided this year I would make another one and show you guys how I did it! Feel free to pin 🙂
EASY FALL WREATH DIY:
Materials:
Styrofoam round can be purchased at Michaels or JoAnns
Faux Flowers
Raffia in Tan
Raffia in colors(usually they come in a multipack)
Scissors
Hot glue gun with glue
TIME
The Process:
First get yourself a good amount of space. I chose our living room floor mainly because I wanted to watch a movie while I worked.
Next Spread your materials out around you.
Take your foam round and your tan Raffia and start wrapping the raffia in lots of layers around a part of the foam round. This part will take a while at the start while you get the hang of it but basically just wrap it enough to where its thick and you do not see the foam. Then make sure it stays by taking your hot glue gun and putting a few dabs on the back side of the foam round and hold it in place for a about 30 seconds. Make sure you are cutting off small pieces that will start to hang. This is more of a personal preference.
This part with the tan raffia takes a while but you get a good groove going!
Then take the colorful raffia when you are about 2/3 of the way done. Decide which colors you want to use. I suggest 2-3 colors. For this I used 3 colors that were more Fall like. You do the same process with this raffia as the tan color. You just wrap it around and cut and make sure you are covering the foam round very well. Then hot glue the ends down.
Now its time to clean up! Meaning take your scissors and cut off all those ends you see hanging around. It will make your wreath look much neater.
Next take the flowers cut just the ends of the flower portion off and stick them right into the foam. Also hot glue them down to secure them.
Next show off your gorgeous wreath, hang it on your door and let the compliments of your amazing talents pour in 🙂
So what is your favorite Fall Craft to make? Have you ever made an Easy Fall Wreath?
I love how you added ‘time’ as a material, because some DIY crafts need A LOT of that! I love how your DIY Fall Wreath tried out! I love making Christmas wreaths <3
I have had wreath-making on my to-do list forever now and I just can’t seem to get it done! But this totally inspired me! I’m going to hop on hobbylobby.com and order some supplies! 🙂
I’ve never seen a wreath made with straw (maybe I have, just never really “Looked”, you know?). This is so adorable, and I want to have one for myself. We finally have a door that leads to the outside and not just an apartment hallway. I need to get crackin’ on some holiday decorations
Oh wow this is so pretty! My version of a fall wreath is buying one of those twig wreaths and sticking a bunch of orange/yellow/read leaves (fake, obvi) in there. But this is so cute! I need to try this!
So very pretty! The best part, it actually looks like an easy DIY. I have said that I wanted to give this holiday season some DIY chances and this might just be one of them. Thanks for sharing.
Wow this is beautiful, I am artistically challenged so I can not make anything to save my life but I bookmark this one to attempt someday unfortunately fall is not my season it just reminds me winter is on the way and summer is gone lol
oooh…that is so pretty. And it doesn’t look too hard either. I may have to get my hot glue gun out this weekend and do one for my door 🙂
I am going to make sugar cone cornucopias for my kiddos and then fill them with Fall Candies! I can’t wait! 🙂
Great demonstration and you make it look so easy!
I need time to craft. This is so cute!

Cute! Cute! Cute! This would be a fun project for my dudes to do on an off day!
Cute! I used to do a lot with wreaths, but have abandoned them recently. I need to start making some again!
I love the pop of color on the ring itself, especially the deep purple – gorgeous!
That’s such a pretty fall wreath! I love it.
Wow that look so pretty and original!

This is such a simple and cute idea. I like that it’s not typical fall colors, too.
So pretty! I’ve never made anything with Raffia but it is so perfect for Fall!
This is so beautiful! I’m going to make sure my family home looks amazing for Halloween this year!
