The easiest wheat wreath DIY project. I couldn't believe how simple and inexpensive this fall or Thanksgiving wreath turned out. It was a subtle touch to my door and fit in nicely with my fall front porch decor.

Before we jump into the details on making this wheat wreath DIY I want to share what inspired this project. This year I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I was looking for a homemade natural kind of design.

This fall wreath DIY fits the bill. It was cheap and natural because the wheat is dried. You can also change out the wheat for other dried flowers or plants to make a wreath that lasts all year long.

Wheat Wreath DIY

Before we begin let's gather some supplies.

  • Dried wheat bundle
  • Gold metal ring 14″
  • Light cream satin ribbon 1 1/2″ wide
  • Twine
  • Scissors or wire cutters

Fall Wreath DIY

Let's begin by laying the metal ring and a bundle of three or four pieces of wheat on your table.

Measure and cut dried wheat to fit onto a metal ring

Simply lay the dried wheat bundle next to one side of the metal ring to help you figure out how long you want the first piece to be and then trim it with scissors or wire cutters.

I used wire cutters because it seemed easier to cut than my scissors.

Now place the wheat on one side of the metal ring with a piece of twine under it. Add a dot of hot glue and tie it into place with thin twine.

Place a dot of hot glue ton the wire ring where you will be tying the dried wheat in place.

This is what it will look like. You should have one small bundle of wheat sitting on top of the gold ring between 6 and 9 o'clock with the top of the bundle around 9 o'clock.

Next, use a piece of the cut wheat to measure from the center bottom of the ring to the bundle of wheat you just added. Then measure over on the other side and this is where you will apply the next dried wheat bundle.

See how easy this is moving along?

Keep adding bundles of wheat layering on top of each other but moving towards the center bottom as you go. And trim off any excess dried wheat stems.

This is what your wreath will look like after you have applied all the wheat bundles. You will leave a space at the bottom for the ribbon.

Now you are ready for a ribbon.

Loop and tie a bow to the metal ring on the wreath.

Make loops with your ribbon and then tie it on with the twine. After you have finished with the loops wrap another piece of ribbon over the center and either tie it in place or use your glue gun.

Conclusion

Not everything is cheap when you make it homemade but this wreath was well worth it. The white farmhouse bench on the porch is homemade too. It is a simple DIY bench that you can make in a matter of hours once you have all the supplies.

Here are a few more photos of the wreath.

I hope you have found this helpful and I cannot wait to hear what dried greenery or flowers you choose to make this wreath.
