1. DIY Fall Leaves Wreath
This fall leaves wreath is a super easy DIY fall decor idea that results in something beautiful!

Materials Needed
Grapevine Wreath
Assortment Of Fall Leaves (From Craft Store)
Faux Flowers (Optional)
Hot Glue Gun
Instructions
- Start by hot gluing your first layer of leaves and flowers on the grapevine wreath, alternating with different sizes and colors. Tip: if you want a specific color pattern, make sure you lay them out before gluing. Otherwise, a random assortment will still look nice!
- Glue your second layer on next. These leaves and flowers can be arranged partially off the sides of the wreath.

- Carefully try to put the plant with the nursery pot container in the pumpkin to measure. Cut more of the top open if needed.
