Tools and Materials:

• Fall colored maple leaves
• Grapevine wreath
• Hot glue
• Burlap ribbon
• Pipe cleaner

To make this amazing ombre wreath, I made sure I had maple leaves in all the fall colors. I used leaves from burnt orange to green. I started by removing the leaves from their stems and organizing them into color groups. 

To secure the stems of the leaves, I added little steel picks. This just helps keep them firm and provides them with a bit more stability. You don’t need to add these picks to make this amazing ombre design. Using just the hot glue will hold your leaves in place on your wreath.

To get started on the wreath, I took one color of leaves and started dipping the stems in the hot glue skillet. I then placed them in the wreath. One thing to focus on when designing this stunning wreath is making sure all the leaves are facing the same direction. 

Working in the same motion, I moved from my brighter oranges to the more burnt red color. I made sure that there were no gaps between the leaves and that the wreath was just full foliage. If you don’t want to create an ombre look, you can always place the colors at random and that would create a gorgeous fall kaleidoscope.

I continued the ombre with the darker red and was so pleased with how the wreath was looking. If any of the leaves stuck out a little, I used another leaf to help compress them down. 

Next, I started working with really pretty green leaves. What’s so great about wreaths is that you can use other foliage as well. If you don’t want to work with leaves, you can always use sunflowers or other decorative pieces. No matter what you use, a great tip is to always buy a little more than you think you’ll need. 

Once all my colors were in place, I made sure to fill in any gaps. I wanted the wreath to be full of color and life so I made sure there were no empty spaces. 

For an added, festive detail I decided to tie a bow. I started by making a few of these little loops. I used a very neutral color of burlap for my bow because the wreath already has so many vibrant fall colors. If you prefer the wreath as it is, feel free to skip this step! 

If you want the bow to be a bit bigger and more eye-catching, you can make bigger loops with bigger tails!

To hold all my loops in place, I used a pipe cleaner and twisted it around, making sure all the burlap pieces were contained within. 

To get a professional finish on my ribbons, I folded the tails in half and cut from the middle, outwards at an angle. 

To attach the bow to the wreath, I fed the pipe cleaner through the grapevine and secured it from behind. Once it was safely in place, I fluffed up the loops to get the desired look.  

I love this fall ombre wreath! It’s the perfect seasonal decor piece! What other fall wreath ideas do you have? Let me know in the comments below!
