How To Implement Fall Wreath Ideas

By Patty Goff


The season that precedes winter always brings special charms in the form of door decorations. There are numerous fall wreath ideas that welcome visitors at the front door. So many do it yourself methods are available in magazines and online. The materials and decorations to use all depend on what is at hand and your desire to be as creative as you wish.

The equipment you will need are most likely already at home. These are pliers, sewing pins, some adhesive and staples. Most people tend to go along the lines of natural looking art pieces where they use yellow, brown, red and orange shaded leaves as well as pine cones. These elements not only create earthy looks but are very easy and cheap to come by.

You will find that circular or oval shapes work the best and are easiest to create yourself. Once you have decided on what to use and how it should look you can get to work. A quick walk around the house will surprise you on how many elements there are to make use of. An example of a perfect base for the wreath is old foam pool noodles that the children no longer use. Irrelevant of the base, it is good to start off by wrapping it with a brownish rope or wheat to start with. These can be secured in place by using sewing pins or florist pins.

The following steps are to add seeds, nuts, leaves and those famous pine cones to the basic shape. It is wise to use strong adhesive for larger objects and thin wiring will also pin them down tightly. There is no rule against using fresh fruits and these will need to be tied down with wiring.

You have to keep in mind that when fresh fruit is used it may perish within a short period of time. It would be smart to use citrus fruit with their strong skins protecting them against decomposition. You will notice as the citrus fruits grow old and harden that they add a rural element to the already earthy appearance of the art piece, together with the pines, leaves and other natural materials.

Making use of colored corn on the cob has become a trend when it comes to sprucing up porches for autumn. Many find these easiest to assemble, whether it being along rounded shapes or simply by creating bunches. The shape of the corn also allows any florist wiring to be concealed between the corn kernels. As they dry out, they produce that country look and these can be hanged in changing weather for quite a long time without discarded odors appearing.

Although many creative concepts show the use of organic elements, there are other decorative techniques that can be used such as materials, ribbons, plastics and card boards. These mentioned fabrics will easily attach to each other by means of glue and will lead to grander color schemes. There are lovely artificial flowers available in craft shops as well as patterned ribbons to choose from.

The use of fabrics or organic, recycled materials is entirely up to the creators of these beautiful autumn traditions that welcome guests into our homes. Whether they are hanged on the doors, the porches or randomly in the yard, one can only hope that they neighbors will join in and create their own too.
