With Fall just around the corner, we couldn’t wait to share this pretty DIY pumpkin wreath craft project.
Making a Fall Pumpkin Wreath
Using vines from my sweeping mulberry tree, I started with making the pumpkin wreath form. The tree grows so quickly each year that I’m often making simple mulberry branch wreaths out of the long hanging vines. Soon we’ll be sharing the tutorial for making a snowman wreath form too!
I’m not sure which is more fun…making the wreath form or dressing it up with pretty Fall accessories like pinecones, colorful leaves and ribbon!

- Drilled verge slice button
- Green floral wire

How to make a Pumpkin Wreath
Start by laying out three sections of the fall foliage at the top of the pumpkin. You may need to cut the longer garland into sections.
Attach the foliage to the pumpkin wreath using the floral wire. Secure in places as needed.
Fill in any gaps with smaller sections of foliage.
Wrap the stem of the pumpkin using burlap ribbon.
Add a small cluster of raffia strands to the base of the stem
Add the pinecones randomly to the pumpkin farm using the floral wire
Finally add the birch slice to the base of the stem.
And that’s it! Hang your new pumpkin wreath on your front door or inside your home to enjoy!
We’ve added the pumpkin wreath to my fireplace mantle along side some painted bird houses and glittering go to candleholders.
