Leaf wreaths are sold in craft and decorating stores, yet it's easy to make your own.

See instructions and tips below.

 

• Styrofoam wreath form (or a wire form)
• Sheet moss
• U-shaped florist's pins
• Florist's wire
• Hot-glue gun
• Preserved fall leaves
• Fall ornament (optional)

1. Create a wreath hanger at the top of the wreath using sturdy wire wrapped around the form and bent into a hanging loop.
2. Cover a Styrofoam wreath form with sheet moss using U-shaped pins to attach the moss. (On a wire form, wrap thin florist's wire all the way around the wreath to secure the moss.)
3. Next, use U-shaped pins or dabs of hot glue to attach preserved or artificial leaves all around the wreath.
4. If desired, hang a pumpkin ornament in the center.
