I love the fall. Cooler weather, snuggly sweaters, hot tea, fun holiday traditions — everything! One of my favorite things about fall is clearing the clutter of the past season and redecorating. A few little touches can really make a huge difference in any room, even if you just “shop” your own house and move items from one room to another. The easiest room to decorate, though, isn’t exactly a room. It is my front porch.

I’ve swapped out my spring/summer decor for fall/winter. Goodbye, brightly colored butterflies and flamingos. Hello, pumpkins.

I also made a new DIY fall tulle wreath this week that was surprisingly easy and affordable. I did the whole thing for less than ten dollars.

Shopping for tulle

To start with, I did a bit of math research on tulle. There are two ways to buy it. One is by the yard, like fabric. The second is on a spool, usually about 25 yards.

The deciding factor for this project was the cost. I wanted at least four different colors and wasn’t exactly sure how many yards I would end up needing in each one. I found tulle on a spool for $6 a roll. That would be a minimum of $24 for just the tulle. Not cool. JoAnn’s Fabric had tulle by-the-yard on sale for half off, 74 cents per yard. I bought two yards each of four colors, which came out to $6 total.

In the long run, it took a lot more time with cutting but saved me a huge amount of cash. Shop around and see what deals you can find on tulle and compare it to how much time you want to spend making a wreath.

I used pre-cut tulle for my rainbow wreath and it turned out gorgeous in about an hour.

Supplies

• 4 rolls of tulle, approximately 1 yard each of orange, dark brown, maroon, and forest green
• 18-inch flat floral craft ring
• Felt
• Buttons
• Sewing needle and thread

Instructions

Cut all of the tulle pieces. I didn’t measure before I started and lucked out on my estimates. First I folded each 2-yard piece in half and cut along the fold. Then I repeated, cutting in half until I had a size that looked good. In the end, I ended up with 64 pieces of each color, measuring 13×4.5 inches.

Tie the tulle in a knot onto the wreath frame. To do this, fold the tulle in half with the wreath at the bottom of the middle. Pull the two ends together and tie a knot as close to the frame as possible. Repeat around the frame until it is full. I ended up using 37 pieces of each color, which is about half of the 2 yards I initially purchased (and cut).

Cut the felt into flower shapes. I free-handed these, but you could also use a pattern. Layer the flowers and top with a button, then sew together. The tulle wreath also looks nice without any additional embellishments.

Attach the flowers to the wreath. I just used safety pins so they’re removable, but you could sew or hot-glue them on.

This was my first DIY wreath and I think it turned out so cute! It only took a couple of hours and most of that was cutting the tulle. I love this so much that I’ll be making more for future holidays or seasons.

This would be really easy to do just by changing the color scheme:

• Christmas: red, green, white, and gold/silver
• Valentines Day: red, pink, and white
• Easter: pastels like pink, purple, yellow, blue
• Summer: patriotic red, white, and blue or bright neons
• Back to school: school colors
• Halloween: Black, orange, and purple

How to hang your fall tulle wreath

I’ve hung wreaths using a variety of methods and all are pretty equal. For this one, I used a Command Outdoor Metal Hook stuck to the door. I like that the hook comes off and then the sticky backing is stuck to a smaller piece, making it easier to remove if you want.
