Our neighbors are starting to decorate their houses for fall. Guess who is running behind? Yep, me. I’m not ready for summer to be over! I didn’t want to be behind the times and needed a cute door decoration that wouldn’t break the bank. I had a roll of Jack-o-lantern Halloween ribbon and a few fall supplies lying around the house. Well, okay, in storage. I dragged them out and in just a few minutes I made an adorable easy fall pumpkin wreath that blends in perfectly with the season.
I used a straw wreath which I found at a thrift store for around $1, five small pumpkins and a small fall floral pick I found at the dollar store, and a roll of orange ribbon. Tip: You can find floral picks with small pumpkins at the dollar store. I found a couple of floral picks with three small pumpkins on each. I removed the pumpkins and they were the perfect size.
How to Make a Fall Pumpkin Wreath:
Step 1: Wrap the fall ribbon around the wreath, spacing ribbon approximately two inches apart. Cut ribbon and hot glue end into position.
Step 2: Hot glue pumpkins and floral pick into position on the bottom center of the wreath. (See picture at the top of post.)
Printable Instructions
- Glue Gun
- Scissors
- Straw Wreath, 12 inch or size of choice
- Small Pumpkins or Pumpkin Flower Picks
- One Roll Fall or Halloween Ribbon (I used Midori)
- Wrap ribbon around the wreath, spreading it out approximately every two inches. Glue ribbon into place. Add pumpkins and/or pumpkin picks onto desired location on wreath. Hot glue into place.
Here’s a thrifty tip: If you want to save money and still have a cute wreath you can use for Thanksgiving, wait until mid-October to buy the supplies. Many stores will be discounting their Halloween and fall crafts.
I like it! That’s simple and cute!! I really love exchanging out the wreath on my front door with the seasons!
This looks easy enough to not be a fail lol. It’s also pretty enough to hang on my door with pride!
YES! I need easy decorations because I stink at crafts, that’s for sure!

Your wreath is so pretty! I’ve never made a wreath but it may be fun to give it a try.
It is nice to be able to make your own projects like this and be able to make your home beautiful. Simple touches like these turn a house into a home.

Very clever idea for Halloween. I especially love the idea you are recycling AND saving money by buying the wreath at a thrift shop.
This is soooo cute and seems easy to make. I need to try to do by myself.

How cute and simple! This is perfect for our home during fall and especially Halloween. It’s festive for the holiday but not too scary for my kids.
Oh that’s pretty! I love fall decor and this is something my daughter and I can make together, she will love it!
I was just looking at a fall wreath to order online. Fall is my favorite time of the year and I love the fall colors. Perhaps making a wreath is the way to go this year instead of buying one.
I have been wanting to make my own wreath. This is super cute!
I still have my spring wreath out… eeek! I need to get fall in a hurry, and I love the inexpensive way to create this look.
This is so cute and I am so ready for Fall.
What a cute idea. I love the pumpkins. I’m always looking for new decor ideas.
This is really nice, I like the pumpkin faces on the ribbon. I’m excited to start decorating this fall.
The wreath is adorable and it looks very easy to make! Fall is my favorite time of the year.
So simple yet so beautiful! It still brings the fall spirit around 🙂
That doesn’t look hard at all! I’m usually terrible at stuff like that! Love it!
Such a cute idea! My mother-in-law is coming over next week to help me make a fall wreath!
This is such a cute wreath. I normally buy mine, but now I am going to try making them.
That’s such a pretty wreath. I love how easy it is to make, too. I’ve always loved that rustic look.
i love this. this would be great in my room
I have been looking for something to decorate our mantel over the fire place for the fall. This came out super nice!
Such a creative thrifty way to decorate for Halloween & Fall! I know I’ve seen all these items at one time or another when I go to the thrift store, which is very often!
This is so pretty and it looks so easy to make. I have to try making these for the holidays.
You post great things on your blog. I love it. I am planning on making the other wreath you posted yesterday. I showed my grandson and we are going to make one for his teacher for Christmas. I love these super cute and simple crafts-and they are affordable!
This looks soo cute and I can’t believe how simple it was… thanks for sharing Pam, you are soo crafty
That is really cute! I am going to make some cute fall items too. I love how easy this looks.
Mmmmmk You need to come over to my house next month for all my craft posts!! I’ll cook you create 🙂 hehe This is great, will you have some Christmas ideas for wreaths next?
That is too cute! I just was looking for my fall door decor. : )
Very nice wreath, really gets me in that fall mood, ready for Halloween, Thanksgiving and the nice cool weather.
Awesome! I just can’t wait for fall and HALLOWEEN too!
Such a clever idea and I think this would be good for a general fall theme or use it for Thanksgiving. Love it.
Super interesting how you do this! I am not too crafty but this one I think I can handle hehe!
That is so cute – it looks so simple but effective! I love how you change decorations every season x
I love this!! I like that it does not cost a lot to make and it is not hard to make.
This looks beautiful. Looks like something I would buy at the store. I don’t usually do the fall/thanksgiving stuff but I do it for Christmas. Maybe with a red ribbon I can totally change the look. 🙂
I love fall decor but I have never done a wreath. I usually do planters and colorful squash by my door. The wreath looks pretty!
How cute! The simplicity of it is truly it’s charm, looks rustic and lovely- how perfect for fall!
This is really cute and looks fairly easy to do. Now that all my kids are in school I should use this time to make my house festive.
Again, I love the simple! This one would be so easy to interchange for the seasons and holidays.
WOAH I am loving this wreath . So from fall.
I love simple decorations like this. I also love the kitty foot playing with your accessories. lol
I’ve never tried this before but I want to because this looks really nice. It is perfect for the Fall holidays.
We got rid of so much stuff when we moved from our old house to our new one, so this craft is a perfect way to get started on new fall decorations.
Beautiful!
I don’t bother anymore decorating the outside for fall. I gave all my fall decorations to my Daughter since she loves to decorate.
That wreath you made was so quick and easy that maybe I should surprise everyone and put a wreath out.
With Halloween soon approaching, this is a great idea!
I love Halloween, and would love to start making my own cute decorations! And this would look fantastic, thank you
This is quite cute and seems simple to make. I need to get going and try a few of these for myself.
I like the decor but since I am a door man, I don’t like to put a nail in the door
lol
I am super festive…lol
This is neat. Looks simple for someone less creative like myself. I love how it looks when complete. nice job.
very pretty! i have my halloween stuff up- not fall haha i don’t put that up until thanksgiving 🙂
Lol…I get the award for least festive neighbor too!
Question? If I buy the ribbon, will you make mine? I’d be okay with a Fall one too…just so ya know 🙂
