So Many 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.

Most fall end products are in horse shoe and circular shapes. Many people make use of wheat grass to cover the bases of their shapes. The moment the decision has been made between a around or horse shoe shape, the work can begin. There are surprisingly many odd objects lying around the home that can be used as the bases shape such as old foam pool noodles. You can start by tying either brown roping or the wheat to the foam by using florist pins and sewing pins to lock it down.

Next on the list of things to do is to secure favorite leaves, pine cones and other nuts and seeds into place. Here is where the adhesive will be most suitable for pasting each element down. Wiring also works well for rounder and odd shaped elements. Fresh flowers and fruits can also be used and these tie down well with florist wiring.

Consider that fresh fruit as main elements may not last as long. Citrus fruits will mostly maintain their shape for longer periods whereas berries and other softer fruits will decay. As the citrus fruits harden it will result in a rustic look which is most appropriate considering that dry leaves, pines and favored fall materials is used side by side.

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 the majority of home owners prefer the natural look, there are exquisitely modern and colorful patterns. Many doors have been transformed in bursting colors with odd pieces of material and ribbons that were found in the house. These materials usually stick well by using strong adhesive and sewing pins. Artificial flowers also come in an array of colors and will add a feminine touch to an already beautiful art piece.

Whether opting for organic or synthetic end results, you can balance the colors and materials beautifully to embellish the front door, porch and yard. These artsy pieces are likely to invite numerous guests throughout the autumn season. One can only hope neighbors will follow the trend.
