How to make Fall Hydrangea Wreath With Pumpkins

Fall hydrangea wreath with pumpkins tutorial

Today is such a beautiful fall day nice and cool perfect for fall crafting.

I decided to get out my crafting supplies and show you how I made my fall hydrangea wreath with pumpkins!

I mean what is fall without a pretty fall wreath on the front door?

Am I right?

The colors of fall are so vibrant with oranges, golds, yellows and reds it is the perfect combination for a front door fall wreath.

Wreath making confession

To be honest I have made and remade this fall wreath that has hung on my front door for probably 15 years now!

Yep you can call me the fall recycle wreath queen! haha

I have loved this outdoor fall wreath sooo much.

Below is the first fall re-do of this wreath and I hung it on my black front door in Texas but before that I had this wreath on my front door in St. George, Utah.

All that hot sunshine from living in those two places took a toll on it.

Each year I get it out and I add a little something new or take something off to make it feel fresh and new.

How to make fall hydrangea wreath with pumpkins

I began making my new fall hydrangea wreath with pumpkins by using the old wreath that had a fall garland wrapped around on it.

Tip- Start with a fall leaf garland, half the work is already done!

Keeping the fall garland that was faded in a few places on the wreath was perfect because it has multi colored fall leaves, a few faux pumpkins, reddish colored berries and some skinny little branches.

But….

There was some ratty old foam gourds and acorns covered with leaves but they had started to fall apart.

These old faux items have seen better days! Just look at the poor foam fall decor 🙁

They were so pretty when I first bought them.

This year I had to take them off 🙁

In fact I took everything off and started over.

Maybe I can use the old gourds and acorns to make some creepy Halloween decorations to go with this Harry Potter themed tablescape that I am going to recreate for Halloween this year.

Speaking of Halloween, recently I wrote my first book called Bewitching Halloween Entertaining Ideas!

It is an E-book avail on Amazon and loaded with ideas that I have done over the last 35 years!

Priced at only $5.00!

Couldn’t this acorn look like the head of a mandrake from Harry Potter? haha

Adding in dried Hydrangeas and Pumpkins to wreath

After I put the garland back on I needed to spruce it up.

To bring in some freshness to the wreath I added in some new faux pumpkins, dried hydrangea from my yard, some raffia sprigs and yellow pom poms.

Even though some of leaves on the old garland have faded it still works for fall!

I had left over yellow pom poms from when I made these darling yarn pumpkins.

They are so fluffy and cute!

Using a little hot glue I tucked the hydrangeas all around the wreath.

Then I hot glued in a few dollar tree mini pumpkins, yellow pom poms and these cute little raffia bundles.

Adding bow to fall wreath

To complete the fall hydrangea pumpkin outdoor wreath I added this simple burlap wired bow.

A little piece of floral wire fitted through the back allows me to attach it easily to the wreath.

Fall decor is really my favorite decor to come up with!

Check out my Halloween porch with witch hats.

I also did some outdoor fall decorations with corn stalks and pumpkin topiaries.

I could not be more pleased with how my fall wreath with pumpkins turned out!

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

  • This is beautiful! I just love fall decor. I do three separate fall decorating times in my house. September in brighter oranges with teals, white, and creams (because it's still 90 degrees on the Gulf Coast lol), Halloween, then November. This wreath will be a good inspiration for when I bust out the fall craft supplies! Thanks for sharing on Traffic Jam Weekend & Happiness is Homemade at https://LIfeasaLEOWife.com!
