There’s something magical about autumn décor that blends texture, warmth, and a little bit of handmade charm — and this wreath captures all of it. Built on a simple foam wreath form and transformed with fabric ribbon, tulle, mesh tubing, and clusters of artificial leaves, it’s the kind of project that looks beautifully boutique but comes together with approachable, beginner‑friendly techniques. The mix of soft fabric wrapping and airy mesh accents gives the wreath a layered, dimensional feel, while the fall leaves and oversized bow add that perfect pop of seasonal color.

Whether you’re decorating your front door, a mantel, or a cozy entryway nook, this wreath becomes an instant focal point. In the steps below, I’ll walk you through exactly how to cover the wreath form, build the bow, and assemble everything into a polished autumn piece you’ll be proud to display.

Supplies and Equipment You’ll Need:

• Two 24″ lengths of 6″ tulle
• 7′ or mesh tubing
• 1½” fabric ribbon (length determined by size of wreath form)
• 1 foam wreath form
• Artificial leaves and berries
• Hot glue
• Bowdabra bow wire
• Bowdabra Bow Making Tool

Let’s Make the DIY Autumn Wreath:

1. Secure one end of your fabric ribbon to the foam wreath form. I used straight pins, but hot glue or double-sided adhesive works, too.
2. Wrap the ribbon around the form, and secure the end in place.
3. Let’s make the bow. Fold an 18″ length of bow wire in half, and place it in the Bowdabra.
4. Scrunch both lengths of tulle—one at a time—into the Bowdabra.
5. Add the mesh tubing to the Bowdabra, forming loops on each side.
6. Use the wand to compress the ribbons.
7. With the ribbons still in the Bowdabra, pass the wire ends through the loop and pull up tightly and tie a secure knot on the reverse side of the bow.
8. Fluff the bow, and use the ends of the bow wire to tie it to the covered foam wreath.
9. Hot glue artificial leaves and berries to the wreath. Hint: Do a practice lay-out before gluing the pieces in place.

Once everything is secured and fluffed, you’re left with a wreath that feels both festive and timeless—a celebration of fall textures, colors, and creativity. The combination of fabric ribbon, tulle, mesh tubing, and artificial leaves creates a rich, layered look that’s easy to customize for your own palette or décor style. Swap in deeper jewel tones, metallic accents, or even miniature pumpkins if you want to give it a different personality.

This project is proof that a few simple materials can come together to make something truly eye‑catching. Hang your finished wreath, step back, and enjoy the cozy autumn welcome it brings to your home.
