Festive Fall Wreaths

Fall foliage in New England is one of the most beautiful things to see during the month of October. Each year, many people drive up and down the Eastern coast just to catch a glimpse of the colorful decorations that Mother Nature has put on display while they snap pictures of each tree that passes by. A great way to put a little green design in your fall decorations this year is by constructing a natural seasonal wreath made from recycled materials from your own backyard. Follow the steps below to make a natural leaf and pinecone wreath of your own!

1. Use fresh vine to construct the foundation of your fall wreath by wrapping the length of vine into a circular formation. Once you have determined the diameter of your wreath, wrap and wind excess vine behind the wreath in order to help hold the circular shape in place. Repeat this 3-4 times with fresh vine for a steady wreath base.

2. Dry your vine wreath anywhere from 2-3 weeks in a dry area whether outside in the sun or indoors.

3. Walk around your backyard to gather fallen leaves, pinecones, and dried berries. Choose colorful leaves to bring vibrant, autumn color to your front door decoration.

4. Attach natural décor to the dried vine base with floral wire or hot glue and enjoy your recycled, handmade wreath!
