How To Make Your Cozy Autumn Wreath For Front Door

Step 1: Choose Your Wreath Base: Pick a grapevine wreath that’s 18-24 inches in size, or use a Styrofoam base that fits the spot where you want to hang your wreath.

Step 3: Arrange Your Foliage: Start layering your maple leaves and faux flowers around the wreath base, securing them with floral wire. Begin with the larger pieces, like the faux pumpkins and cream pumpkins, and then add in smaller decorations like pine cones and cinnamon sticks.

Step 5: Enhance with Cinnamon Sticks: For a rustic feel and a nice smell, tuck cinnamon sticks between the leaves and pumpkins. This adds a warm and cozy touch to your wreath.

Step 6: Final Touches: Adjust everything to make sure your wreath looks balanced and put together. Make any final tweaks to get the look you want. Now, your stylish wreath is ready to hang on your front door or anywhere in your home!
