Making a fall wreath seems easy, but it may be hard when the leaves fall off, the design looks weak, or the whole thing fades outside. A lot of people spend more on supplies than they would on a pre-made wreath, only to be let down.
In this article, I will provide you an easy way to make diy fall wreaths at home.
You learn how to make a wreath that will last all season by learning the correct bases, layering strategies, budget swaps, and weatherproofing procedures.
Let’s jump in!
DIY Fall Wreath with Mesh
Mesh is the quickest method to fill out a wreath without having to buy a lot of picks.
Start with a wire frame, then make poofs out of the mesh and use pipe cleaners or floral wire to hold each part in place.
Add some seasonal touches, such fake leaves, pumpkins, or sunflowers, once you’ve worked around the frame until it looks even.
To add depth to your mesh, layer two colors on top of each other. This approach adds volume at a very low cost.

DIY Fall Wreath with Ribbon
If you want something with texture and movement, ribbon wreaths are great. Pick wired ribbon in fall colors like rust, gold, or plaid, and cut it into equal strips.
Twist or loop each strip and tightly attach it to a foam or wire foundation, making sure to fill in all the gaps so it looks soft.
End with a big bow or mix two ribbons to make them look different. To keep the ribbon from fading, spray it with fabric protector before you go outside.
This makes a beautiful wreath that looks costly but doesn’t cost much.
Sunflower & Plaid Accent Wreath
This half-grapevine wreath with bright sunflowers and checkered ribbon is great for farmhouse-style doors or porch walls.
To get an uneven effect, group your flowers on one side and leave part of the vine exposed for a rustic touch.
To make the stems of wheat, berries, and pampas grass more stable, use wire. Then, to add volume, tuck ribbon loops in between. This pattern looks great outside, especially against wood or neutral backgrounds.

Pumpkin Ribbon Bow
A big bow can make a simple wreath into a spectacular piece for fall. This design puts pumpkin-print ribbon on top of black-and-white buffalo check, which adds contrast and a seasonal touch right away.
To recreate it, cut wired ribbons into equal strips, form loops, and secure with floral wire at the center.
Make the bow the center of attention by attaching it to a grapevine or mesh wreath. It’s great for doors in a farmhouse, wall art in the kitchen, or lanterns on the porch.

Golden Leaves with Feathers
Make the bow the center of attention by attaching it to a grapevine or mesh wreath. It’s great for doors in a farmhouse, wall art in the kitchen, or lanterns on the porch.
It looks great on doors that are a neutral color because the warm tones stand out. To do this again, stack fake hydrangea leaves around a grapevine foundation and then add feathers at different angles to make them move.
Make sure the design is symmetrical so that the circle shape stands out. If you want something classy but yet seasonal for your entrance door, this is the right solution.

Minimal Grapevine with Florals
The grapevine base shows through in this wreath, which is simple yet adds seasonal color with clusters of orange and white flowers.
It’s perfect for compact areas or modern doors when you want a clean design without too much detail.
To make it again, put two or three flower bunches on opposite sides, allowing some empty space for balance. Add fake plants to give the arrangement more depth, and use wire to hold the stems in place..

Plaid Bow Autumn Wreath
This design is full of deep oranges, yellows, and reds, with a big plaid bow on one side to balance it off.
The secret is to group bright flowers together on three-quarters of the grapevine and leave a space for the ribbon to shine out. Fill in the spaces and add depth with fake berries and layered foliage.
This is a great choice for front doors, especially if you want a wreath that looks fun and festive.

Rustic Wheat & Plaid Wreath
This wreath has a farmhouse atmosphere because it has dried wheat bundles connected to a grapevine base and plaid ribbon looped around the frame.
The beauty is in its simplicity; a few natural stems and a ribbon can make it look warm and seasonal.
To make it again, tie the dried grasses together with florist wire and loosely wind the ribbon around the vines. It’s great for country-style porches or rustic doors where the natural texture stands out.

Berry & Maple Leaf Wreath
This wreath is full of clusters of berries and stacked maple leaves, which add color and texture to a basic entryway.
The berry sprays add movement, and the blend of yellow, orange, and burgundy colors gives the scene depth right away.
To make it again, first attach berry stems to a grapevine foundation, and then weave in fake maple leaves to fill in the gaps.
It’s excellent for rustic backgrounds or farmhouse-style doors, where the bright colors may truly stand out.

Rustic Pumpkin Cluster Wreath
The grapevine base with little pumpkins and dried grasses on this wreath make it look simple but still festive.
If you already hang a garland over your door, this is a terrific choice because it keeps the wreath lighter and makes the room feel less cluttered.
To make it, put miniature fake pumpkins in the bottom corner and balance them with wheat sprays or pampas grass. Best for doorways to apartments or limited entrances when a little elegance goes a long way.

Mini Pumpkin & Cotton Wreath
This wreath combines the comfortable appeal of a farmhouse with the nuances of a seasonal harvest by using little fake pumpkins, cotton stems, and foliage in warm colors.
It’s perfect for indoor locations such above a mantel or on a dining wall where natural textures make you feel welcome.
To make a new version, start with a base of eucalyptus and muted leaves, then add clusters of little pumpkins and cotton for contrast. To keep the look full and balanced, use miniature flowers or berry stems in vacant spaces.

Navy & Burgundy Accent Wreath
The rich blue flowers and burgundy embellishments on this wreath make it stand out and give fall colors a dramatic twist.
The sleek and stylish design has an uneven shape that keeps portion of the grapevine root visible.
To make this effect again, put dark flowers together with eucalyptus leaves and then add burgundy picks to let the colors stand out.
Finish with a big navy bow at the bottom. It’s great for white or neutral doors where darker colors may really stand out.

Sunflower Sign Wreath
This design has a rustic “Hello Fall” sign and bright sunflowers, which make it both friendly and lovely.
The cascading flowers make the frame look softer, and the green and plaid bow bring the whole thing together.
To make it again, put a seasonal sign on one side of the grapevine base and then make a floral cluster around it with fake sunflowers, orange pods, and greenery. If you want your wreath to also be a festive welcome, this is the right solution.

Bright Blooms & Pinecones Wreath
This wreath mixes the brightness of summer with the texture of fall by putting colorful dried flowers and rustic pinecones on a bed of foliage. If you want something bright that doesn’t lean too much into dark fall colors, this is a perfect choice.
To make it again, start with a layer of boxwood greenery and then evenly position bright flowers and pinecones around the circle.
For the best contrast, this design works best on doors that are pastel or light in color.

Plaid Bow Pumpkin Wreath
This design uses plaid ribbon, small pumpkins, and neutral flowers to give a homey farmhouse feel.
The big bow is the main focus, and the pumpkins and dried leaves offer warmth and texture. To make it again, first connect your bow to the side, then add groups of pumpkins, fake mums, and fall leaves around it.
This wreath looks great against brick or rustic backgrounds since the plaid pattern stands out so nicely.

Bold Red & Orange Wreath
This wreath has deep red flowers, vivid orange sprays, and rustic wood balls woven in for texture.
The warm colors give it a dramatic fall vibe that looks great on plain or light-colored walls.
To make a new one, first group the big flowers together, then add smaller sprays around them and hold them in place with wire. Add a tiny fabric bow at the top to make the colors look more balanced.

Modern Bead Hoop Wreath
The wooden bead hoop base with burgundy and blush flowers give this design a trendy touch.
The flowers are grouped on one side, and the negative space is left open for a clean finish. This makes it look good.
To make it again, use a bead hoop frame, floral tape to hold fake roses, hydrangeas, and eucalyptus branches in place, and then add cascading leaves for movement. It fits perfectly with modern homes or accent walls inside.

Burlap Pumpkin Wreath
This wreath has a frame draped in burlap for a rustic farmhouse look, and it is decorated with vibrant small pumpkins, fall leaves, and berry picks.
The gathered burlap gives the item texture without needing big flowers, which makes it a good first project.
To make a new one, wrap a foam or wire ring in burlap ribbon and pin it down. Then, on one side, put pumpkins and leaves together. It has a basic design that looks well on front doors or even indoors beside a fireplace.

White Berry Owl Wreath
With clusters of white berries, metallic leaves, and a small owl figure in the center, this wreath looks like it’s from a cold fall day.
It’s a stunning choice if you want something that feels like fall and early winter at the same time..
To make it again, put berry sprays all around the base of a grapevine and then tuck in some wheat stems, fake pumpkins, or metallic leaves. For a fun finishing touch, add a little owl pick.

Patchwork Pumpkin Wreath
This fun wreath has a big fabric pumpkin in patchwork designs in the middle, with bright green leaves and ribbons in Halloween colors surrounding it.
The bright colors of lime green, purple, and black-and-white checks make it stand out. To do this again, attach a fabric pumpkin to the middle of your base and then add ribbons of different lengths below it.
For richness, add fake leaves and orange flowers. It’s great for doors that require a fun, festive touch.

Cotton & Pinecone Wreath
This wreath is a nice mix of rustic and homey, with soft cotton branches, pinecones, and bright orange foliage.
The burlap bow pulls everything together, which makes it a fantastic choice for doors in a farmhouse design. To do this again, put cotton and pinecones on top of each other evenly on a grapevine base.
Then add fake pumpkins and berry picks for more texture. To keep it natural, tie a tiny burlap bow at the end. The white cotton really stands out against dark doors.

Hydrangea & Succulent Wreath
This wreath has a mix of rich hydrangeas, warm-toned foliage, and a few succulents to give it a new look for fall.
The different textures make it work in both modern and country entryways.
To make a new one, evenly space out the hydrangea heads around a grapevine base, then add fake succulents and golden filler stems for contrast. Using a burlap ribbon to hang it gives it a rustic vibe while still keeping it balanced and lovely.
