DIY Modern Fall Wreath

Sep 13

This DIY modern fall wreath has minimalist charm and is the perfect afternoon craft to get your home ready for autumn!

DIY Minimal Fall Wreath

I love the look of dried grasses for home decor but have had such a hard time finding a fall wreath that is both neutral and minimal. I don’t want orange flowers and pumpkins woven into mine and apparently that’s hard to find for a fall wreath without dropping a bunch of cash. Since I was looking for one for outside my front door and it gets quite a beating from the weather, I wasn’t looking to spend much on a wreath for here.

I was out for one of my evening walks and the path I walk is surrounded by hip height of these grasses. The next night, I decided to bring clippers and a bag and trimmed some to make myself a wreath. This DIY modern fall wreath was quick, easy, and checks all the boxes I was looking for.

The DIY instructions for this one are pretty simple. Every once in a while I take the time and write out a blog post like this where I figure you could probably guess the how-to, but I know there’s something about seeing someone else do it with a ‘here’s what I did!’ that gives the confidence or push of ‘I can do that!’ that you need. So here goes nothing!

Collect yourself an armful of fall grasses, a brass hoop (mine is from the dollar store), clippers and a hot glue gun.

I lined my countertop with wax paper just to prevent the hot glue from sticking to it. Then I got to trimming small bunches of the grasses and gluing them onto the hoop. I found two dabs of glue per bunch worked best and worked my way around with the grasses all in one direction. I added more in on a second pass before deciding I was happy with how it looked.

I had quite a bit of extra grasses leftover, so I could have kept going and made it more substantial. Maybe I’ll add to it next year, but for now I love how understated it is!

If you’re finding you’re burning your fingers, try using a silicone spatula to press the grasses in place once you’ve applied the hot glue!

That’s it! Love how delightfully simple this DIY modern fall wreath is- it’s exactly what I’d pictured! I might try making another with some different shades of brown as well, I’ll just have to find a new walking path ;)
