It might not officially be fall for 13 days, but I did remove all my summer decor from my front porch. That’s progress, right? I felt like I was in need of something new to greet autumn. So I made a wooden fall wreath in the span of one naptime. Best of all, I spent zero dollars! If you like to switch out your seasonal decor for as little money as possible you’ll definitely want to keep reading and maybe save this post for later on Pinterest. I’ve also teamed up with some friends for an awesome crafty giveaway at the end of the post!

DIY Wooden Wreath for fall with found materials.

When I’m in the crafty mood I like to see what I can make with items on hand. Our front door had been wreath-less since our summer trip. That’s a sad tale of me forgetting about our succulent wreath while we were on our epic road trip. Then when we were gone we had record-breaking temperatures. Poor little wreath never stood a chance. Anyway, I knew we needed a new wreath and that I had everything on hand to make it happen for free!

As you can see, there’s no rhyme or reason to this wooden fall wreath. You’re just covering the wreath form in any way that looks good to you! You could even leave off the yarn and only use wood. However, I personally felt like it was getting a little heavy. I also love the change in textures and color that the yarn provides. The great thing about this craft project is you don’t need any special skills to make a beautiful wreath. As long as you can work a hot glue gun you can make this!

Start laying out your twigs and wooden slices as you want them on your wreath form. Then begin gluing the items on. Trust me when I say you will need much more hot glue then you think you will! As I mentioned, I left some blank spaces to fill in with yarn. The yarn I simply wrapped around and tied off at the end–no glue required! I lucked out with the perfect twig on top that forms a natural curved holder, but you could also just tie some yarn around the whole wreath or through the wire form in back.
