Just because more neutral colors take over in the fall doesn't mean that you can't spice up your autumn decor with color. This
felt leaf wreath is the perfect example of marrying fall browns with bright blues and yellows. Even the teal yarn wrapped around the wreath form is tremendous. Hand-stitch the leaf veins onto the leaves, add adhesive to the back of the felt leaves, and attach them to the wreath form. Perfecto!
If you love burlap, then this
fall burlap wreath
is for you. Featuring an entirely-burlap base and burlap flowers with
fabric-covered buttons, this tutorial makes a simple-and-festive ode to
autumn. While burlap is especially stunning during the fall, you can
make variations of this wreath for any season or occasion with different
colored burlap pieces. Add adhesive to the back of the burlap for easy
crafting.
For a wreath that is a little bit more free form, try this
corn husk bow wreath. You can't do wrong with this wreath because it's as simple as cutting and shaping the fabric to your delight. The fabric bows and flowers add a bit of whimsy. Attach the fabric to the wreath with either hot glue or adhesive. Corn husk optional.
For a fun, punchy wreath, use scrap felt to make this
felt autumn wreath. The texture of the felt and the ruched technique gives this wreath a graphic quality. Not many supplies are needed for and not much time is spent on this project. Attach the felt to the wreath form, and create a truly-lovely layering effect.
Who knew that such a traditional crafting material like paper could yield a
realistic leaf wreath? Using card stock, soak the scrap pieces in water, wring them out to dry, and highlight the crinkles with brown ink. These leaves are truly stunning and look even better in majestic colors such as crimson and burnt sienna.
