Fall Porch Decor with DIY Wreath

September 15, 2014 By: Leslie3 Comments

1-Fall Porch Decor

The weather has finally turned here in Lancaster and it is certainly feeling like Fall….I’m actually wrapped in a blanket typing this!!  With the changing weather, I was motivated to begin transitioning our home to Fall.

My first step was to make a new Fall wreath.  The last few years, I had used the same wreath that I bought at a yard sale.  I had updated it by adding some extra picks two years ago.  So, this year I decided I wanted a new wreath.  I started with a plain grapevine wreath. I bought it at a yard sale, and it had a few leaves and flowers on it and I just pulled them off.

I wanted a full wreath, so I started with a leaf garland.

I cut the garland to fit the circumference of the wreath, and I tucked the ends into the wreath, but then I did use some wire to wrap the garland around the wreath in several places so that it was more secure.  After that step, I went to my stash of fall supplies.

I cut sections off the bushes and just started randomly putting them into the wreath.

The flowers made it much fuller.

I still wasn’t done though.  I had some more picks that I wanted to add.  I actually pulled the few out of my old wreath and put them in the new one.

Then, I had two of these fuzzy balls (no idea what they are really called) and I stuffed them in.

And, finally I added the faux pumpkin and gourd picks.

That was all it took.  It was very random, which for me is a challenge sometimes, but I think because it was so full it made it easier.

I think it looks so pretty on our door.  This may be the one time of year that I really love the brown door, because it is so complementary.

DIY Fall Wreath

The wreath was just the start of my decorating.  I had a vision this year for a different look on our front porch.  I went to Lowe’s to get some flowers for my pots, and went to the local country store for pumpkins and gourds too.

The flower pots each got a kale, coleus, mums, and the red spikes.  I really wanted fountain grass, but they hadn’t gotten it yet at the store.  I lucked into several clearance deals on the mums.  The ones in the taller pot are actually 3 little 75 cent mums.  The yellow mums were on clearance for $3.  There was no bargain on the rest, so that helped a little with the expense.  I tucked in the little pumpkin and a gourd or two in each pot.  I tried to make it not exactly symmetrical, but close.

As I was trying to take my pictures, Puddy kept appearing in the windows beside the door, so I made him come outside with me.  He decided to just lay right down and become part of the picture!
