Fall in Love with These Wreaths
Fall! The crisp air, the changing leaves, and the cozy atmosphere make it the perfect time to add a touch of nature to your front door. From rich, warm colors to natural textures, these wreaths will transform your entryway.
The best part about both of the Fall wreaths I’m going to share is that they cost me $0 because I gathered the materials from my own yard.
Fall Garden Wreath
Looking for a touch of Fall magic for your front door? Look no further than this stunning DIY Fall garden wreath! I’ll guide you through incorporating your favorite autumn blooms, like sunflowers and hydrangeas, alongside colorful foliage and interesting textures like pheasant feathers for a truly unique and eye-catching display.
Dried Flower Wreath
Want to infuse your home with the beauty of nature year-round? Creating a dried flower wreath is the perfect way to do it! In this guide, I’ll walk you through the process of transforming your garden’s treasures into a stunning, handcrafted piece of home decor.
The magic in making a DIY Fall wreath like this is that there isn’t a right or wrong way to do it! So many flowers that we grow in our gardens dry out naturally and are beautiful in a wreath.

Foraging For a Fall Wreath
What an enjoyable way to spend a warm Fall afternoon! Grabbing a basket and clippers and heading outside to collect interesting flowers, foliage, and naturals to create a Fall wreath.
Two things that I love about this style of DIY wreath: It’s free and it will be a one-of-a-kind creation!
Follow along the tutorial to see how I put this Fall beauty together. In this version of a Fall flower wreath, I also added pinecones and conifer branches.
Cozy Up with a Winter Wreath
From Fall we head into the chilly months of the year and two of the biggest holidays of the year: Thanksgiving and Christmas.
For this cozy season, my wreaths are still all natural but made with a warmer welcoming feel.
Thanksgiving Wreath
In this wreath tutorial, I’ll teach you how to make a beautiful and festive Thanksgiving wreath using fresh greens, flowers, and dried oranges.
No yard or garden to forage in? No problem! I found all of the fresh flowers and greenery at my local Trader Joe’s. But to give it that cozy feel of the season I also attached pinecones, dried orange slices, and pheasant feathers to this DIY wreath. A simple velvet bow in a warm gold color completes this front door look.
