Project Instructions

We are ready! We have all of our supplies! Now, let’s make this Autumn Wreath!!!

Step 1

Multiple sized terracotta pots for Fall DIY Wreath project

Use your paintbrush and lightly drybrush acrylic paint onto the terracotta pots to create a distressed and worn look. You don’t want your pots to look brand new on the wreath (or at least I didn’t!). Pour a little of the paint onto a paper plate and put your paintbrush in the paint, and then swipe off almost all the excess paint onto the paper plate, until you just have a light amount left on the brush, and then just lightly swipe a few places on the pots to make them look weathered.

Step 2

  • Terracotta pots tied to a grapevine wreath for Fall DIY Wreath project
  • 6 multi-size terracotta pots tied to a grapevine wreath for Fall DIY Wreath project
  • 14 terracotta pots tied to a grapevine wreath for Fall DIY Wreath project
  • 19 total terracotta pots tied to a grapevine wreath for Fall DIY Wreath project

Once pots are dry, using the twine, wrap and tie each pot to the wreath. I wrapped my twine around the wreath and through the hole in the bottom of each pot. I wrapped the twine through several times and tied in several knots along the way. If you have trouble getting the twine through the smaller holes on the smaller pots, wrap one end of the twine with scotch tape to make it a smaller, easier end to take through the holes.

I started with the 2 largest pots on the top and bottom (kind of at the 12 and 6 spots on a clock). Then I did the next smaller pots at the 3 and 9 positions on a clock. From there, you can fill in and mix and match sizes all over the wreath until it’s complete. (I did find it helpful to plan out the layout before I started tying down all the pots, to make sure everything fit well) Also, I put the pots facing in all directions to make the pot fill out with flowers and decorations everywhere when it’s finished.

Step 3

Hot glue gun gluing in between two terracotta pots for Fall DIY Wreath project

Once all the pots are secured and tied to the wreath, I used my glue gun to put some glue between each of the pots. The reasoning here is two-fold. For one, it makes the wreath stronger because it sticks all the pots together in one piece. For two, it keeps the pots from clanging together, because you’ve created a glue buffer. And once the flowers and decorations are in, no one will see the glue. No worries there.

Step 4

  • Full wreath with green floral styrofoam inserted into all terracotta pots for Fall DIY Wreath project

Now it’s time to put the floral foam in each pot. Cut it to size so that it fits firmly in each pot. You want a tight fit because some pots are facing sideways and downward. You can glue the foam in if you want. I chose not to because I want to take the entire foam pieces out with the flowers all together and be able to change up the wreath for Christmas, Winter, Spring, Summer, etc.

Step 5

  • Green fake gourd with flowers for Fall DIY Wreath project
  • Orange fake mums with Spanish moss for Fall DIY Wreath project
  • Fake Fall flowers in a terracotta pot for Fall DIY Wreath project
  • Floral tape wrapped around fake Fall flowers for Fall DIY Wreath project
  • Artificial Fall pumpkin gourd and floral decor in a terracotta pot for Fall DIY Wreath project
Table full of Fall themed artificial flowers and pumpkins

Now it’s time to put in flowers! Make little individual arrangements based on the size of the pot you are working on, and if you put several flowers together, wrap them in green floral tape to keep them together. Fill in each pot with flowers.

Trust me — I’m not a floral arranging kind of gal, but you can do this! If I can, you can! Just pick a couple of things that look good together, use the floral tape to tape them into a bundle, stick them in the foam, and go. Don’t get stuck in the analysis paralysis of wondering if your bouquet is pretty enough. In the end, you have 19 tiny bouquets, and they will all blend together.

Note on Fall Flowers:

Artificial flowers can be SO expensive. Don’t pay full price at a craft store. You are better off to run to the Dollar Store and grab some. They are perfectly fine and super cute for this project!!

Step 6

If desired, put in a leaf garland like I did that goes all around the pots in the background.

Step 7

Completed DIY Fall Terracotta Wreath

Your wreath is ready to hang! You need a STURDY hanger. This pot is heavy. I purchased an over-the-door hanger that was rated for up to 20 pounds. (The wreath isn’t THAT heavy, but it’s pretty heavy, so I wanted to make sure it was sturdy!)

PROJECT NOTE

I didn’t use any glue to stick the flowers or floral foam into my pots. I want to be able to pull each little arrangement with its foam out and pack it away and replace it with a new season of flowers and decor. The idea is this wreath can be a year-round decoration with different flower arrangements for each season! Succulents and summer flowers, Christmas holly and ivy, and Spring flowers too!

It’s your project, so you decide how you want to roll with it. If you want it to just be a Fall wreath always, then hot glue the bejesus out of the foam and flowers and call it a day!
