Pumpkin wire wreath DIY with fall faux florals

​In today’s DIY, I will show you how I made a fall door wreath using a pumpkin-shaped wireframe from Dollar Tree, spooky Halloween ribbon, and fall faux florals. 

It’s getting close to Halloween and nothing is on my front door! So I decided to make a door wreath using a pumpkin wireframe I bought from Dollar Tree last year. The wireframe will be dressed up with black cat wire ribbon and faux floral stems in red and cream (my favorite color combination), all from Factory Direct Craft with a few green leaves scavenged from my faux floral stash. Since I want to reuse the materials after Halloween I used minimal hot glue in this project.

Here’s the best part—this simple DIY project can be done in under an hour!

The supplies I used for this wire wreath project:

Wire pumpkin-shaped frames (Dollar Tree)
Halloween Black Cats and Bats Wired Ribbon
Hydrangea, Berry And Eucalyptus Bundle
Burgundy Artificial Cushion Mum Bush
Black flowers with eyeballs, skulls, and bats (Dollar Tree)
Green leaves
Black pipe cleaners
Hot glue gun
Glue sticks
Scissors

How to create a large bow for the wire wreath

Cut the ribbon into various size strips and hot glue the edges together to create loops.

Stack the loops on top of each other, bunch them tightly in the center, and tie a black pipe cleaner around them, leaving enough pipe cleaner to attach to the wireframe later.

Cut a long ribbon and tie it tightly in the center of the bow to cover the black pipe cleaner, leaving tails hanging down. 

​Attach the bow to the top of the wireframe with the black pipe cleaner.

Create V-shaped tail cuts and fluff the loops to create the desired look.

How to arrange and attach the faux florals to the wire wreath frame

Place the green leaves (and other greenery) along the bottom of the wireframe, attaching them to the back of the frame with pipe cleaners. Create a symmetrical pattern on either side leaving the center open.

Place the red flowers on top of the leaves working your way to the center but leaving a gap for the focal flowers. Attach them to the frame with pipe cleaners. 
​

Arrange the cream-colored flowers in the center to create a focal point and attach them to the frame at the back.
​

Place the black flowers, skull, and spider picks on either side of the cream bouquet and attach them to the frame. 
​

And you’re done! Tweak the floral arrangement and fluff the ribbon for the final look.
