Gathering Your Materials

To begin, let’s embrace sustainability by using as many natural elements as possible. Take a walk outside to gather leaves, pinecones, acorns, or small branches. Pair these with a few thrifted items like ribbons, twine, or small baskets for a touch of charm. Remember, we’re creating pieces that are beautiful and reflect a brilliantly sustainable lifestyle.

DIY Fall Wreaths

1. Natural Elegance Wreath

• Materials: Grapevine wreath base, fall leaves, pinecones, small pumpkins or gourds, floral wire, twine.

• Instructions: Secure the leaves and pinecones to the grapevine base using floral wire. Layer the elements in a circular pattern, adding a few small pumpkins for pops of color. Wrap a bit of twine at the top for hanging, and enjoy a natural-looking wreath that exudes fall elegance!

2. Rustic Ribbon Wreath

• Materials: Wire wreath frame, burlap ribbon, fall-themed ribbon, hot glue.

• Instructions: Start by wrapping the burlap ribbon around the wire frame, securing it with hot glue. Layer in strips of fall-colored ribbon, allowing the colors to alternate. Finish with a large bow at the bottom, creating a soft, rustic look perfect for any door.

3. Floral & Foliage Combo Wreath

• Materials: Faux fall flowers, eucalyptus branches, grapevine wreath, floral wire.

• Instructions: Position the eucalyptus branches around the wreath base for greenery, then add clusters of faux flowers (like sunflowers, mums, or dahlias). Secure everything with floral wire and allow some branches to overlap for a full, abundant effect.

DIY Fall Centerpieces

1. Harvest Centerpiece

• Materials: Wooden crate or low basket, small pumpkins, gourds, apples, mini hay bales, fall leaves.

• Instructions: Place the hay bales at the bottom of your container for height. Arrange the pumpkins, gourds, and apples on top, adding in fall leaves as fillers. This centerpiece adds a pop of fall to your table with minimal effort.

2. Candlelit Cornucopia

• Materials: Cornucopia basket, pillar candles, faux berries, small pinecones, and seasonal fruits.

• Instructions: Place pillar candles in the cornucopia, surrounding them with pinecones, berries, and small fruits. Light the candles during gatherings to create a cozy, inviting atmosphere.

3. Rustic Pumpkin Vase
