Fall Wreaths Made of Leaves, Flowers, Wheat, and More Natural Elements

Break the cycle of ordinary round wreaths by crafting a square arrangement.

Hang the wreath with a simple ribbon to keep the focus on its unexpected shape and variety of textures.

Add a splash of fall color to your front door with a leafy wreath. To begin, gather fallen leaves (make sure the leaves aren't too dry) from around your yard, and purchase a wire wreath frame from your local home center or crafts store.

Suspend the wreath using a colorful plaid ribbon to add another touch of autumnal character.

Take a step outside and allow nature to inspire your autumn wreath arrangement. This modern wreath was constructed using pieces of driftwood glued onto a standard wreath form. Colorful leaves scattered throughout add punches of seasonal color and texture.

Dress your front door for the fall season with this festive wreath. The base of the wreath is nothing more than the snipped-off top of a wire tomato cage, which creates spokes that can spear a variety of seasonal vegetables, fruits, and berries.

An arrangement of evergreen branches and dried seeds finishes the look.

Faux leaves and other store-bought supplies can create a wreath that boasts lasting color. A collection of artificial leaves and twigs forms the base for this festive door display.

A fall wreath allows you to greet guests with the sights of the season before they even step into your house.

Try a festive one-color arrangement to create a wreath that will last for years to come.

Nestle gold-tinted leaves between the twigs, or adhere them with a hot-glue gun.

A horseshoe shape is a welcome change from a traditional fall wreath. Start with a foam wreath form and cut away about 1/5 of the ring. Wrap with seam-binding ribbon to cover the foam.

Go for faux leaves and berries to create a long-lasting wreath, or opt for dried finds if you want a more natural look. Simply cover a foam wreath with Spanish moss.

Late-blooming chrysanthemums are the perfect way to bring the beauty of fall into your home. This stunning autumn wreath boasts a collection of autumnal-hued golden, maroon, and burnt sienna mums.

To create a wreath with more staying power, search your local crafts store for silk flowers, or use dried blooms for a more natural look.
