Pro tip: Paint the split wood balls for a custom look.

Forage in your own backyard to make this natural fall wreath. Collect acorns, small branches, pinecones and other autumn offerings; then use a hot glue gun to attach them to a foam wreath. Start with larger pieces, then fill in the gaps with smaller items. If you don’t have access to the real stuff, purchase faux foliage for the same effect. After all, decor that utilizes natural elements make the best fall wreath ideas. You could also use this wreath as a centerpiece on your Thanksgiving table.
This bat wreath by @maranda_christine_ is spooky yet delicate; perfectly balanced to capture the playfulness of Halloween decor without going over the top.

Arrange faux fall leaves in the middle of the wreath, and a few bat figurines along the outer border.

Here’s an autumn “wreath” that’s a little outside the box. Hang a small chalkboard on your front door with a welcoming message (we love these chalk markers).

Just change out the garland and the chalkboard message to fit each season.
This example by @handcrafted.by.evelyne utilizes both spider mums and spider pattern ribbon to make a cute yet creepy Halloween wreath. To make your own, cover a foam or grapevine wreath with faux black mums. Then top with a spider ribbon bow!

As one of the eeriest fall wreath ideas, make one for yourself or as a Halloween gift for your spooky season-obsessed bestie.
This pretty hoop wreath by @avillageofflowers uses a brass hoop as the base for an extra elegant detail. The other shining star is the mini palm spears, that help add bulk to the floral arrangement.

Pro tip: If you’re feeling extra crafty, opt for mini velvet pumpkins to add texture. Do you know how to preserve real pumpkins?
For this cute and spooky wreath, spray paint a grapevine or twig wreath. Here, an imperfect paint job lends to the eerie feel. Create a spiderweb from twine then nestle faux spiders into the web.

The best DIY fall wreath ideas incorporate items you already have lying around the house, like this upcycled owl wreath. Start with a twig wreath and create wings with bark (fabric-wrapped foam would also work). Mason jar lids and floral stems make up the eyes. And the belly is an old placemat! Don’t be afraid to use unconventional craft supplies when making a wreath like this, but aim to keep everything in the same color family for a cohesive look.
