Welcome to Autumn, it’s fall, y’all! (I can say that, I am from Louisiana. It’s sort of like when I lived up North and said “you guys” all of the time.) There is something about the season changing; the fall weather, and beautiful Autumn leaves that get’s me excited about the changes that come with it.
I love to decorate with the seasonal change, and this year I made a beautiful Autumn Wreath to share with you. Believe it or not, I didn’t use glue, wire, or anything you don’t already have in possession at home.
Tools needed:
- snippers
- scissors
- flowers
- leaves
- berries
- wired ribbon
- safety pin
- wreath form
- and about 15 minutes of your time (YES, I said 15 minutes)
Autumn leaves
The first thing I did to make this wreath was take my form and add in my autumn leaves. I wanted to share the beautiful fall colors and make this the base for my wreath. I worked the long stems into the wreath form and then used my snippers to cut the extra length.
After I made the base of my wreath with the leaves, I then took my berries and did the same. I worked them into the wreath form and around the leaves and placed them exactly where I wanted. After placement, I again took the snippers and cut the remaining stems.
Once the berries were on, I added in the hydrangea, and did as before. Believe it or not, working these in without the wire works well when you are using this wreath form like I am showing. They stay in place very well.
After the hydrangea, I made the bow, placed a safety pin in the middle, and then worked the fall wired ribbon into a a nice formed shape. All finished! But maybe not…
After taking all of the pictures with the wreath I decided there was another little touch I would like to add. Remember the Spring/Summer Hydrangea Monogrammed wreath made a few months ago? Since I was taking it down, I decided to use the monogram and place it on this wreath.
I think the monogram goes well with the colors and gives it that special personalization. What do you think? I LOVE it. If you like this wreath as much as I do, make sure to hover over the picture and PIN it!
I hope you liked this quick tutorial. Let’s all welcome the changes to our trees, the autumn leaves, and the new season upon us. Happy Autumn.

What a super cute fall wreath idea! Love it! :)-Ashley
Thanks Ashley!
Jennifer your Fall wreath is so pretty! Love the leaves of course, but it’s the W that makes it completely perfect! Very nice my friend.
Cheers to you and yours,
Therese
Thanks Therese! I really love the way the W just made the colors pop.
My daughter wants you to know that it’s beautiful. She’s a bit of a wreath expert – her words. I say “you guys” all of the time! I have to stop!
Awe, tell Princess Scarlet I said thank you, and “you guys” is like “y”all” down here. It’s just part of the vocabulary!
Very Pretty!! I love the traditional fall colors (and the ribbon, of course!). I’m in Virginia and I say both, “ya’ll” and “you guys”…guess that’s because I’m in the middle lol! XO
Haha! I was in Maryland, so I wasn’t too far from you 🙂
This looks easy!! And love the color leaves, it really stands out!
Thanks Shelly!! 🙂
This is a lovely wreath! Very festive. I can’t believe it only takes 15 mins to put together!
Thanks so much. Yes, it’s quick!!
That’s really cute and it actually looks easy!
I think “ya’ll” all the time, but I never say it out loud. I’m in southern Illinois, so I think I’m on the bubble for being far enough south! LOL I also just moved into a new house and I totally need a wreath for my door so this project is happening!! Thanks for linking up to #LOBS!
Awesome Angela! I was in Southern Illinois last year, very pretty country! I was there to pick up our lab Ranger from Siever’s Retrievers. They were in Meppin. It was BEAUTIFUL!!
Love this & it looks fairly simple, bless your heart! Happy Friday, visiting from #LOBS! 🙂
Haha! Thanks Amber! 🙂
This gives me inspiration for my own fall wreath. I’m hoping to get one made this weekend. The monogram really gives it a personalized feel.
I think even *I* can handle this one 😉 Thanks for sharing with us at #LOBS!!
What a beautiful wreath! I love the addition of the initial, it finishes it off beautifully.
