Add autumnal flavor to your holiday home decor with Thanksgiving wreaths. Fall wreaths of all shapes and sizes embellished with natural elements or silk flowers are widely available so it\’s easy to update your decor for fall. For a charming touch to your home decor, make wreaths at home using fall finds and wreath forms.There are different types of wreath forms available at home decor stores or garden supply stores. Wire wreath forms are perfect for adhering leaves, seedpods and pinecones to the wreath. Wreath forms made from cardstock are excellent for making lightweight wreaths that can be used indoors. Bring home a few forms to make wreaths for the front door, windows and for creating mantel displays for your decor for fall.

Thanksgiving wreaths made from fall leaves are classic autumnal decorations. Use wire wreath forms to make these wreaths. You will need fall leaves in different colors to make wreaths. Make sure the leaves aren\’t too dry so that they are long-lasting. Another alternative is to use silk leaves. These fabric leaves are available on craft sites or you can make leaves from construction paper. Pierce the center of natural leaves, foraged from a nature walk or from your yard, with a knitting needle and stack these leaves around the wire wreath frame. Add enough leaves until the wreath form is fully covered with vibrant fall leaves. Group leaves together by color, shape or size to make the wreath. Hang the wreath using a colorful plaid or gingham fabric ribbon.

Thanksgiving wreaths can be fashioned from any supplies you may have at hand. Leftover yarn is a great material for making wreaths and for adding a cozy touch to home decor for fall. Choose yarns in fall colors of red, yellow and orange to make the yarn wreath. Use yarns in three to four different colors to fashion a visually interesting wreath. Shape the yarn into balls about three to four inches wide. Use foam balls as the core and wrap yarn around them. You can also shape ball forms from shredded paper or tinfoil. Make about 30 to 40 yarn balls for a wreath form measuring 12 inches. Add the yarn balls to the wreath form using hot glue till the wreath is fully covered. Hang the yarn wreath using a burlap bow for simplistic style.

Happy Thanksgiving!
