How to make a Fall Wreath from a plate?
Prep leaves
To make a fall wreath using a plastic plate for it’s base, begin by gathering all your faux greenery. I used all red leaves with a few dark purple berries for mine. You may need to use wire cutters and remove some of them from their main stem.
I wanted the leaves on my wreath to be more heavily applied to the bottom portions of my plate, so I created two sections of the leaves. I also pulled a few spare leaves off to cover the area where I was going to secure the two sections.
Start gluing
Once you have your basic layout figured out with the leaves, it’s time to begin to glue them down to the plastic plate. I used hot glue and added a few spots along the sides to secure my leaves down.
Once your leaves are secure, add a single leaf here and there to cover any seams or spots where the wire may show.
Add FALL to the wreath
If you have a paper cutting machine, this is the time to get it out! I didn’t for this project, so I simply used a pencil and drew a cursive “fall” onto black construction paper.
Then, I turned my “fall” into a bubble letter type font and eventually when that looked like how I wanted on the paper, I used a combination of scissors and a xacto knife to cut it out.
Add a ribbon to hang
I used a simple graphic black and white wide ribbon to hang my wreath.
I gathered the ribbon in the back and added hot glue to secure. This wreath isn’t heavy at all, so the hot glue was plenty strong – but if you add additional items to your plate wreath – you may want to use something stronger to hold it up.
Pink and Red Fall Wreath
If you know me at all, you know I very often play around with non-traditional seasonal color palettes. I really loved incorporating these vibrant fall red colors with the soft blush pink.
And added bonus that it goes so well with our red front door screen!
