Instructions for a colorful autumn wreath made of leaves
The green maple leaves turn bright red and fiery yellow in autumn! Due to their beautiful colors, they are a visual delight and are perfect as craft material for a lush autumn wreath. All you need is a straw wreath, colorful maple leaves and floral wire, also called binding wire.
First, attach the beginning of the floral wire to the blank by wrapping the wire once around the blank and twisting the end in place. Then place some leaves on the wreath and tie them around the blank with green floral wire. Arrange the sheets so that they cover the blank from the outside, top and inside. Also squeeze the leaves a little at the leaf vein so that they bend and protrude slightly rather than just lying flat on the frame. It should be wrapped as tightly as possible, but not too tight.
Then attach the next row of leaves to the wreath, overlapping them so that they cover the wire from the previous one. Work in a spiral until the entire wreath is covered with leaves. Finally, make a hanger so you can hang the wreath on the door!
Autumn wreaths with chestnuts
Chestnuts are a particularly popular craft material in autumn. The brown, smooth balls fascinate young and old and are ideal for autumn decorations. The most beautiful craft ideas also includeChestnut wreaths.
Just be careful that you need a lot of chestnuts for a large fall wreath. You will also need: a Styrofoam blank, a hot glue gun, orange crepe paper, decorative ribbon and other decorations.
First, wrap the entire blank with the crepe paper. Alternatively, you can paint the white Styrofoam with a dark color. Then start gluing the large chestnuts onto the wreath. Then move on to the smaller ones. Finally, fill the gaps with other natural materials such as moss, acorns and walnut shells and decorate the wreath with raffia bows.

Autumn wreaths with hydrangeas
Even though many hydrangeas often look brown and dried out from a distance in autumn, they have not wilted, but simply change the color of their flowers. They usually shine in strong dark pink and green and fit perfectly into the autumn garden. This fall color makes them ideal as fall decorations.
Make your own autumn wreath from hydrangeas
If you handle the hydrangea flower balls in late fall, you will notice that they are hard. This is an important indication that these have already ripened enough to be used in wonderful autumn wreaths.
If using a Styrofoam wreath, wrap it with satin ribbon. For an interesting look, combine autumn hydrangeas in different colors such as purple, beige and white.

Autumn wreaths with rowan berries
From late summer to winter, the bright red berries of the mountain ash delight us. And even after the rowan tree loses its leaves in winter, the berries that grow on umbels remain attached to the tree.
To make this wreath out of rowan berries, you could follow the instructions with the leaves. It is not necessary to wrap the blank with bouquets of berries from below. Finally, hide the ends of the last bouquet under the first bouquet and decorate the wreath with a bow in a contrasting color.

Autumn wreaths with physalis
The orange fruits of the lantern flower can be found in autumncan be used for all sorts of pretty decorations. The best way to do this is to cut off entire stems. Make sure that the capsules are fresh because then they are still soft and will not break. In late autumn, the lanterns gradually begin to decompose until only a delicate framework surrounds the berries. So if you have a wreathcraft with physalis, it will dry out decoratively over time.

Autumn wreath with apples
Autumn time is apple time! You can not only enjoy the delicious fruits in cakes and jam, but also make them into a beautiful autumn wreath. For this craft project you will need: lots of apples, a wire hanger, pliers, a crochet hook for making holes in the apples. A few sprigs of hops, rose hips and wild vine complete the look.
- Use the pliers to bend the wire hanger into a circle shape
- Now the hard part – you need to “unscrew” the place where the ends of the hanger connect, being careful not to cut off a piece of wire.
- Then you need to pierce the apples with the wire. It is easier to work from the bottom up.
- Repeat the step until there is no more space. In this example there are exactly 21 apples on the wire hanger.
- Then twist the wire ends together again.
- Finally, decorate the wreath with vine and hop branches.
This wreath is best suited for outdoor use. At a low temperature the apples will last longer. Fruit flies are also not welcome indoors.
You can also tie a bouquet of rose hips right at the top in the middle
