Step 1: Adding greenery to the wreath

To start, insert your greenery into the spaces of your grapevine wreath, pulling each piece through the openings. You can also secure your greenery with floral wire and continue adding around the wreath.

Step 2: Adding mini pumpkins to the wreath

First, determine the placement of your mini pumpkins on the wreath. Attach using twine by threading through the openings and tying them off. For foam pumpkins, insert the wire through the bottom and pull through the wreath, or use hot glue.

Step 4: Attaching metal welcome sign to the wreath

You can add a metal sign to your wreath by inserting twine through two openings on the sign and securing it to your wreath. Alternatively, you can use wire to attach the sign.

Step 5: Cutting and Adding faux floral to the wreath

Finally, use your floral cutters to trim the stems of your flowers. Then, insert the stems into the wreath and secure them with floral wire if needed. You can also create a bow using your ribbon and add it to the top of your wreath.

Your autumn wreath is now ready to be displayed. I bought the faux floral and metal sign from Dollar Tree, but I can't remember where I got the mini pumpkins and greenery. You should be able to find those items at any craft store.

Thank you for making this wreath with me. See you soon!
