Fall is upon us and, as we embrace a season of gratitude, crafting with your family is a wonderful way to celebrate togetherness and imagination. This craft project not only adds a personal touch to your home decor but also provides an opportunity to spend quality time together. Enjoy the process and be creative!
DIY Fall Wrapped Wreath
- Cardboard/foam wreath form
- Twine
- Hot glue gun
- Floral Wire
- Faux leaves, dried cotton branches, wooden craft rounds
- Natural elements: acorns, pinecones, berries
- Ribbon/fabric
1. Start with wreath form. Wrap the entire wreath with twine, securing the ends with hot glue or pins to create a textured base.
2. Gather items. Encourage your kids to find natural elements like pinecones, acorns, and colorful berries around your neighborhood.
3. Let your kids help arrange all the items on the wrapped wreath—experiment with different placements to achieve a balanced look, starting with larger elements.
4. Use a hot glue gun to secure the items to the wreath form. For heavier items, use floral wire for extra hold. Teach your kids to apply the glue carefully and hold items until they are set.
5. Add a bow from leftover ribbon or fabric scraps to the top of the wreath with glue or by tying it onto the twine.
6. Once the glue is dry and everything is securely attached, hang your wreath on your front door or wall with a wreath hanger to enjoy your beautiful creation all season long!
