How to make a Fall Farmhouse Wreath to Welcome in the Season

DIY Decor | Home DIYs | Make it!

Fall has always been my favorite season. Something about the cool crisp air and the sound of leaves crunching makes me want to be outside all the time. Around this time of year, I also want to deck out my home top to bottom in fall decor. What I love about this classic fall farmhouse wreath is that it’s made with a lot of items that you can find for free out in nature. 

I used hay from a friend’s horse farm for the base of this wreath but if that’s not available to you, wheat. grass could also look really pretty. It is available at craft stores and online

To give the wreath an authentic fall feel, I used acorns that I collected on a walk and dried berries and flower petals that were part of a potpourri package. However, the majority of the flowers on the wreath are dried hydrangeas. 

Hydrangeas are my absolute favorite flower in part because they last a really long time in a vase and  then still look fabulous later when dried. These ones dried to a pretty rust color that really reminded me of the fall season. Feel free to improvise and use whatever fall items are available to you.



What You’ll Need

Start with your grape leaf wreath base, wire, and hay. Make approximately 1 inch thick sections of hay and wrap them around the leaves. Secure it with a wire.

Once the wreath is fully covered in hay, decorate it by hot gluing the acorns, and dried flowers randomly around the wreath. While the glue is drying, make your bows and secure them with wire. In the center of the top bow, make a centerpiece using an acorn, dried berries. 

Aside from the week before Halloween, when I replace it with something more festive, this fall  farmhouse wreath will stay up all season. I like how rustic and no fuss it is. It definitely matches the feel of Autumn.
