A sturdy twine tree stands proudly, branches heavy with vibrant leaves, while a tiny swing dangles in the breeze waiting for a fairy to hop on.
Pumpkins scatter across the mossy ground, and woodland mushrooms peek out from the edges.
This wreath doesn’t just decorate, it tells a story every guest will pause to admire before stepping inside your home.
Materials Needed
- 1 grapevine wreath base (14–16” diameter)
- 12–15 faux maple leaves in fall colors (red, orange, yellow)
- 3 small faux pumpkins (2-3” each)
- Rope or thick twine (4-5 ft, for tree trunk and branches)
- Small stick (about 2” wide, for swing seat)
- Mini faux mushrooms (optional, 3-4 pieces)
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Spanish moss or raffia
- Scissors
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Start by anchoring the twine to the bottom center of the grapevine wreath, braiding several strands together to form a tree trunk.
Step 2: Separate the twine into smaller branches, gluing them outward toward the top edge of the wreath.
Step 3: Glue faux maple leaves along the branches to create a full autumn canopy.
Step 4: Attach a small stick swing to one branch with twine, letting it hang freely in the center.
Step 5: Add faux pumpkins, mushrooms, and moss at the base of the wreath for a woodland touch.
Step 6: Hang and enjoy, a whimsical little fall story displayed at your front door.
Notes:
You can personalize the swing by hanging a tiny charm or writing a family initial on the seat. It’s a small detail, but it makes the wreath feel even more special.
