Get into the spirit of fall with a unique and handcrafted wreath in warm autumn colors! This fall wreath is super easy and very inexpensive to make – I purchased everything to make this wreath for under $10!
MATERIALS:
- Rosette Template {DOWNLOAD TEMPLATE HERE}
- Grapevine wreath
- Felt (in various colors – use any colors you’d like for your flowers)
- Hot glue gun & hot glue
- Double stick tape
- Fall berry picks {optional}
DIRECTIONS:
Download and print out the Rosette Template. Use the template to cut the “swirl” shapes out of your felt (you can adjust the size of your swirl to create larger or smaller rosettes).
Start at the end and roll it. The tighter you roll it up, the smaller the rosette will be; if it is rolled more loosely, the rosette will end up larger. Once the flower was almost completely rolled, I used a little double stick tape to keep it rolled up (double stick tape is great because you can take it off if you need to adjust your flower and then just stick it back on). Then I finished rolling it up by putting the end on top of the tape, and the whole rosette stays together and keeps its shape.
{Optional}
To make multi-colored rosettes, like the one below, just attach two or three different colors together with hot glue to make the swirl pattern. The just roll it up like the other rosettes!
Make as many or as few rosettes as you’d like. Then just arrange how you’d like them on the grapevine wreath and secure them with hot glue. You can decorate the entire wreath with the flowers, or use other fall decorations – I used 5 sprigs of fall berries (I just stuck them right into the wreath!).

Thanks, Jalisa! I feel honored!
Love it! Thanks for adding so many pictures!
I’m not a mom at all, but I made this and it looks great! I found that if you cut the rosettes oblong, you get some interesting variation.
Thank you for the idea!
Thanks for the tip, Craig! I’m excited to try it out and see how it looks!

Where did you get the felt from? I am havinga hard time finding the right colors.
Hi Hailie! I got the felt from JoAnn’s. I did not find the nice fall colors that I was hoping for in the felt by the yard, but they had a much better color selection of the felt squares (plus, the felt squares are on sale this week – 4 for $1.00!).
I hope that helps!
