Fall wreath

DIY Fall Wreath – Florals and Pumpkins

Hello Friends! Hope you are all having a beautiful Fall so far. Here in New York, I feel like it’s taken a while for that fall-ish feeling…..

The weathers been warmer than I’m used to for this time and the green leaves seemed to have been holding on to those tree branches like no tomorrow!

but finally…

Leaves are starting to fall everywhere!

I was lucky enough to see a bunch of yellow leaves falling off of trees the other day (in an incredibly elegant and harmonious way I might add ☺️) And the weather is starting to have that fall chill that calls for soup and hot chocolate!

It’s nice seeing so many pretty leaves on the floor. The colors are gorgeous. Right now I’m mostly seeing yellow but I’ve also noticed a few dark red and even got a glimpse of a tree filled with orange leaves!

How is fall looking at your neck of the woods?

So today I’m sharing a fall wreath that I made using a DIY poster board frame that I shared a few weeks ago. After making my frame for the wreath and doing a little trial and error design with my crafting supplies it started coming together. It took some effort figuring out what I wanted to use but eventually I decided on pumpkins and florals. Then a bunch of hot glue, and I had my fall wreath!

Hope you like this floral and pumpkins fall wreath!

DIY Fall Wreath – Florals and Pumpkins

I started by making a frame for my wreath using a few inexpensive supplies. You can see exactly how I made it in this post that I shared a few weeks ago but it’s fairly simple…

Get a poster board and cut out a circle, then glue on some popsicle sticks to give it some support and finish off by wrapping it up with tape.

These are the supplies that I used:

And here is the finished wreath frame:

Once I finished my frame I got a few faux leaves that I had pulled off of some flowers, and taped them onto my frame.

I taped them down to keep them in place while I decided what else I was going to add to my wreath. I figured it was best not to hot glue them down before knowing exactly how I wanted my wreath to look.

I then decided on using pale lime green hydrangeas and orange marigolds for my flowers.

I know, lime green isn’t exactly a fall color but I thought it looked pretty with the rest of my colors. Plus, I have a ton of these hydrangeas and wanted to make use of them 🙂

The hydrangeas were very large for this wreath so I ended up cutting the flowers into smaller sections and that worked out pretty good.

Once I had my florals I hot glued them on along with the leaves and a few pumpkins.

I should also mention that I started by hot gluing the leaves and pumpkins first, then I added my flowers, tucking them under and around the pumpkins.

Lastly, I added sunflowers and a few small amber hydrangeas to finish my wreath.

(FYI: I ended up cutting down some of my leaves around the right side just because I felt as if they were sticking out too much and making the wreath look unbalanced. I probably didn’t need to do that but the perfectionist in me couldn’t resist)

Sending happy, safe, and healthy vibes your way. May God bless you and your family today and every beautiful day to come!
