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.
