Quickly and easily make a wheat sheaf for your fall decor or harvest table centerpiece with this simple step-by-step guide.
Every fall for the last five years or so, I’ve found myself really wishing I had one (or more!) of these wheat sheaf things that I keep seeing around. I’ve almost just ordered some online a few times, but they were always pretty costly so I just decided I could do without. THEN I got the idea in my head that I could just make a wheat sheaf!
Start out with a bunch of wheat! A really big handful should be enough, so basically whatever you can comfortably carry back from the field with you will work. If you don’thappen to have a wheat field right behind your house, wheat stalks can be purchased at craft stores or online.

Next, you need to start gathering your wheat stalks in little bundles of about five, and lining the tops all up straight next to each other.
Hold one bundle in your hand and add another lined-up bundle just like it to the one in your hand, but do it on a bit of an angle. So have the original bundle sticking straight up in your hand, and the new bundle kind of sticking off to one side towards your fingers at a 45 degree angle.
Tie your bundles together and trim the bottoms, so that they are even.

Now just clean up some of the little pieces that are sticking out everywhere, add a pretty ribbon and you’re all set for celebrating the harvest!
