Harvest Pumpkin Wreath

This wreath uses our the moss apple deco mesh as a base. The added in burlap ribbon and jute window pane ribbon add nice texture, but the wreath needs accessories that say Fall. The additional pumpkins and natural wheat help to tie all the elements together.

Fall Wreath with Persimmons

Don't limit yourself to faux greenery! Fall is the perfect time to harvest real produce and greenery to accent your wreath. For this fall wreath version, we used persimmons and branches to add another layer of fall flavor and texture. This season persimmon and bittersweet branches can be found at your local grocery store, florist or maybe your neighbors yard.

    1. Thanks for posting! Its a really easy wreath to personalize and change the colors of the mesh, even use a poly burlap blend instead. Happy crafting :-)
