Repurpose summer ferns for fall decor on your front porch.
For me ferns are a classic feature on a Southern porch each summer, and I just couldn’t justify removing these beauties for my fall decor this year, so I added a little autumn charm! With some grapevine garland, pheasant feathers, acorns, and fall foliage, I transformed my summer ferns into festive fall planters.
You will need a grapevine wreath for each planter. First unravel the top grapevine branch that is holding the wreath together. Then start to pull the wreath apart.
Keep pulling until you have a long coil of grapevine. Cut the coil into three pieces: a short piece for the first loop of garland that will go in the top of the fern; a longer coil that will wrap around the fern and planter; and the last piece should be the end circle.
Stick the first short section into the base of the fern at the back of the planter. Pull the other end diagonally across the fern and stick it in on the opposite side.
Take the longer coil and stick it in the side and wrap it around the planter.
To finish off these festive fall planters add a mix of autumnal accents like feathers, fall foliage, acorns, seed pods, etc.
