What is your go-to front door decor for the Fall season? Mine is this DIY Shimmery Fall Wreath I made a couple of years ago. This will be the 3rd year I've decorated with this wreath, and she's still holding up. It's an easy and fun project - now is just the time to make one for your front door!

1.) Using scissors, cut off all the leaves and berries from the sticks and garlands they came on.
2.) Divide up the foliage and spray each group a different fall color. Flip over when dry and spray the other side. Spray some leaves with full coverage and others with a light misting to let the original coppers and reds show through.
3.) Begin tucking berries and leaves randomly into the grapevine wreath. Some leaves will stay without using hot glue, others you might want to secure with a dot of glue.
4.) Optional final touch: Spray paint a wooden (or cardboard, or chipboard) letter a deep chocolate brown. Tie onto wreath with rustic twine for a more personal expression.

I personally like the wreath with the letter. It fills up some empty space and makes it feel more personal and homey - just what Fall should feel like!
What do you have adorning your front door this year?
xo,
This is so pretty, Kate. I love that the paint is applied in such a way that you still get a glimpse of the original colors. Thank you so much for linking up the Better Late Than Never Thanksgiving bloghop!
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative way to use spray paint.
