Warm up a dark door with a natural fall wreath. Secure red silk leaves and miniature Indian corn (husks included) to a purchased twig wreath with hot glue or wire.

Don't just use gourds as cornucopia fillers; give them starring roles in your favorite fall wreaths! Slather green paint over a dried gourd and allow paint to dry. Carve in your favorite spooky face. Anchor your gourd to a simple twig wreath and garnish with wheat.

We can practically hear the wind rustling through this natural fall wreath. Hot-glue sheaths of Northern sea oats onto a wreath form along with hollowed-out gourds planted with flowers. We used hens-and-chicks and pansies.

Oranges aren't commonplace in fall decor, but with their bold autumnal color, we don't see why not! Start by wiring oranges to a rectangular foam frame. Then fill in the bare spots with bittersweet berries, green yarrow, orange safflowers, and birch leaves. A sturdy silk ribbon supports the wreath and adds extra shine.

Choose colorful gourds with long necks, then attach them to a basic vine wreath with raffia or wire. Colorful berry sprays and a rustic raffia bow enhance the air of autumn elegance.

Combine simple fall embellishments, such as leaves, pumpkins, and gourds, with classy touches such as an orange bow to dress up a plain vine wreath.

This wreath looks like a beautiful autumn sun radiating fall color. Hot-glue dried corncobs and flowers onto a heavy cardboard form that's been covered with Spanish moss. Use sturdy U-shape wire to join the wreath with a spindly twig wreath.

Mounds of red apples contrast beautifully with shiny lemon-leaf greenery. Between the apples, add tufts of Spanish moss for another texture and to hide any gaps.

This evergreen wreath can make an early debut at Thanksgiving. Wire dried fruits, artificial berry sprigs, unshelled nuts, and cinnamon sticks together to form a harvest swag, then wire to an antiqued evergreen wreath. After Thanksgiving, remove the harvest swag and give the wreath a Christmas makeover.
