Ribbon Wreath~FALL

I am so ready for Fall to be here and HOT temperature to be out the door!! Fall decorations are going to start going up around here and I'm starting with a wreath! I was inspired by a wreath I saw over at Tatertots and Jello, but changed it up a bit for myself!

Here's what you need to get yourself started:




  • 12" foam wreath (check out your local Dollartree)

  • 3 yards of a wide ribbon

  • loads of ribbon (I went with a Fall theme~orange, yellow, red, green) cut into 4" peices

  • straight pins

  • any embellishments you want to add


First I wrapped my foam wreath with my wide ribbon. I used 2 straight pins to hold it in place and then wrapped it all the way around, finishing with 2 more straight pins:


Then I made a loop with one piece of ribbon and put a straight pin through it.


Then I added anywhere from 2 to 4 more ribbons and pinned them onto the wreath:

Continue to add bunches of ribbons, mixing your colors and adjusting your loops to cover the front of the wreath:

Take a longer piece of ribbon (about 12" inches) and pin into place as a hanger:

Finish adding your ribbons and then add some embellishments. I found some plastic acorns at the Dollartree:

I randomly glued them throughout my wreath:

Hang on your door and enjoy!

I love how it turned out and look forward to getting the rest of my Fall decor out!
I plan on trying out another type of ribbon wreath in a Halloween or Christmas theme, check it out at The Long Thread!

    I love this wreath!! :)

    I'm seriosly considering making one myself. I got some cute Halloween ribbon for .10 at a yard sale the other day (don't you love steals like that!) and have an extra wreath I had planned to use but never did, so now it's just laying around!!

    I love the wreath! How did you make the hanger to hang it with?

  17. RachelOctober 31, 2011 at 12:25 PM

    I used a long piece of ribbon and a couple of straight pins and pinned them into the backside of the wreath. I hope that helps!

    I would love to do the ribbon wreath. Are you sure all it took was 3 yards of ribbon? I've seen other blogs that say it took much more.
    What was the total cost to make the wreath?

  22. RachelNovember 11, 2012 at 3:05 PM

    Maybe my wreath is smaller (about a 9 or 10 inch diameter), I also did not cover the back. Each ribbon piece was 3 to 4 inches long.

  23. heatherNovember 21, 2012 at 7:57 PM

    So total, how many yards of ribbon did it take to make it without a back at 3-4 inches long per piece?

  26. Fall Ribbon Wreath | A Happy Hanvey HomeSeptember 6, 2013 at 2:52 PM

    […] Fall is coming, and as I browse Pinterest I am getting more and more excited about decorating my small apartment for the season and its holidays.  I thought I’d start by trying my hand at making a ribbon wreath.  Since I didn’t actually look for a tutorial, I completely made up my design, and although I’m happy with how my wreath turned out, I don’t recommend you follow my method.  Instead, I recommend this step-by-step tutorial.
