You can create an autumn atmosphere before guests even reach the front door by hanging a wreath made from natural materials. Invite fall into your home with a decoration that is easy to make and beautifully organic. The finished wreath will make your entryway feel warm and welcoming.
Craft a wreath with natural materials for fall decorating
This autumn decoration is designed for the transition into winter. Buds and green leaves give it an early-fall feeling, while silvery paper leaves hint at the colder season ahead. To make this decorative wreath, you will need bark, straw, scissors, a hot glue gun and decorative paper. First determine the size of the wreath so you can cut the bark strips to length. Shape the straw into a circular base, then cut or tear bark strips about 4 to 12 cm wide. Wrap the strips around the wreath form from the back and glue the ends securely so the front looks clean and even.
Creative ideas for welcoming autumn with a handmade wreath
Place the bark strips close together so there are no gaps in the wreath form, while still allowing the natural texture to show. Once the wreath is covered, slide a few small branches through the bark and secure them with hot glue. Draw leaf shapes on decorative paper or fabric, cut them out, and glue them to the ends of the branches. Silver leaves are a beautiful detail because they hint at the coming winter.
