Hey farm gals, it’s Kara from Lange Girl Farms! October’s vibrant leaves and berries inspire my fall wreath—naturally crafted from my homestead. My huskies chase fallen twigs, my chickens peck at scraps, and my horses graze as I weave. This thrifty, sustainable DIY from 15 years of country crafting welcomes fall—let’s make your door glow, farm girl style!
Step 1: Gather Materials
Twigs, leaves, pinecones—my land’s bounty. Use garden shears (you can find cheap $1 ones in spring from the dollar stores; my first wreath was sparse ‘til I learned variety.
Step 2: Build the Base
Twist grapevines—wire secures it (we use old fencing wire and scraps, but when in doubt we use baling twine). My ducks nibbled loose vines; 15 years taught me tight wraps.
Step 3: Add Foliage
Layer leaves, berries—hot glue gun ([Your Affiliate Link]) holds ‘em. My minis sniffed the colors; years showed me balance pops.
Step 4: Decorate Naturally
Pinecones, acorns— bailing twine ties it or get some jute twine from the local dollar stores. My husky pup stole an acorn; 15 years perfected rustic charm.
Step 5: Hang and Enjoy
Loop twine, hang—wreath hanger (https://amzn.to/4mOu27d) works. My chickens cluck at it; it’s fall on my door.
Conclusion
This fall wreath’s my October love—15 years of homestead scraps make it sustainable. Craft yours; your home’ll shine! Pin this for your DIY, and follow Lange Girl Farms for more rustic crafts.
