Fall Front Porch Decor Ideas For A Small Front Porch
It’s that time of year again, the Fall season is quickly approaching. We can’t wait to decorate for the holidays here at Joy Us Garden. First thing on the list is some festive Fall front porch decor complete with an easy DIY project for making a fall wreath.
We put a Southwestern spin on Fall decor classics. This means instead of using popular Fall decor like real pumpkins and mums (which we can’t even find at the grocery store yet), we used faux pumpkins and flowering kalanchoes to get that same look.
SUPPLIES NEEDED FOR DIY WREATH AND FALL FRONT PORCH DECOR:
- Dried Gourds 2. Composite Planter 3. Triple Birdhouse 4. Cottage Birdhouse 5. Hot Glue Skillet 6. Hot Glue Pillows 7. Twine 8. Gold Paint
STEP BY STEP FALL WREATH DIY
1. Remove any old decorations. We removed the faux succulents. They were nice in a Summer wreath but not so much for our Fall theme.
2. Pull off white pumpkins and dahlias from their stems and cut leaves into single pieces. Cut the berries aand foliages into smaller bunches. If everything is ready to go, the hot glue process will be easier.
3. Hot glue the largest decorations on first like the white pumpkins and dahlias. Space everything out so the colors are evenly dispersed.
4. Next, glue on the leaves and berries.
5. Add the eucalyptus and seed heads.
NOTE: We like to attach the hanging device on the wreath before the glueing begins. Here we used a long keychain but can also use twine, fishing line, ribbon, or wire. Whatever works best for you and your design.
FALL PORCH DECOR STEP BY STEP
To complete the front porch for Fall, we added everything in stages. Take your time with these steps and don’t be afraid to get creative and switch things up as you go. We ended up taking a few things out because they took away from the overall design.
Here are the steps we took:
- Hang the wreath with fishing line through perforations in the security door.
2. Place plant pots on either side of the door. We gave one pot extra height by putting a hay bale under it.
3. Place gourd, pumpkins, pinecones, and birdhouses under the taller pot. We ended up dry brushing the birdhouses and gourd with a terra cotta colored paint (they were pinkish-gold from a previous display) at the last minute.
4. Fill in the extra space with some extra flowers and berry clusters from your wreath DIY made into 3 small bouquets to tie everything together.
FINI!
Hope you enjoyed these Fall front porch DIY’s and inspirations as much as we did putting them together. We have a lot more planned coming up for the Holidays, so stay tuned.
Happy Fall,
Nell and Brielle
