DIY Corn Husk Wreath for Thanksgiving
Here, the vibrant colors of flint corn make for an unforgettably beautiful wreath. You can purchase dried corn online or find it at your local craft store.
Make the wreath: Detach husks from one side of 20 medium-size Indian corn. Hot-glue the undersides of the corn to their husks. Lay out the corn in a circle with the tops pointing out, alternating colors. Hot-glue the corn to an 18-inch craft ring, and fill in any sparse areas with extra husks.

Book Leaves Fall Wreath
A paper wreath is an incredibly lovely addition to any front door. With leaf shapes galore, this one's perfectly seasonal too.
Make the wreath: Draw a 3-inch-wide maple leaf shape on a piece of cardboard and cut out to create a stencil. Trace on original pages (or, preferred, photocopied pages) of a vintage book—consider a fall-themed title or mystery novel—and cut out approximately 100 leaves with decorative scissors that have a "torn paper" edge. Attach book page leaves to maple leaves with hot glue. Attach layered leaves to a 16-inch wreath form with hot glue, layering and overlapping them as you go. Hang with burlap ribbon.
Shaker Peg Wreath
If neutral tones are your jam then this is the wreath for you!

DIY Pine Cone Thanksgiving Wreath
There's no better way to continue celebrating your favorite season than with a pine cone project. These gorgeous wreaths utilize natural crafting materials—what's better than that?
Make the wreath: Wrap a 16-inch wreath form with burlap ribbon and loop a piece around the wreath form for hanging. Paint the tip of 40 pine cones in fall colors such as orange, yellow, and beige with acrylic paint. Brush the tips of 10 pine cones with matte Mod Podge and sprinkle with gold and copper glitter. Once dry, wrap an 18-inch length of floral wire around the base of each pine cone and twist tie around the wreath form to secure, layering and overlapping them as you go.
Ombre Corn Husk Wreath
A pretty collection of yellows, oranges, pinks, and reds makes this wreath a perfect fit for the fall season—but we think it'd still look appropriate on your front porch come spring and summer.
Make the wreath: Set four medium plastic bins on a covered surface. In each, mix 6 cups of warm water, 3 Tbsp vinegar, and 1 cup Rit liquid fabric dye in desired colors. Note: It's good to wear gloves so your hands don't get stained from the dye.
Soak dried corn husk in the mixture for 20 minutes; rinse with water and let dry on newspaper. Place husks between two thin towels and iron flat.
Hot-glue a few layers of dyed corn husks around a 12" foam wreath form to create a sunburst shape. Attach a loop of wire to the back with hot glue and use to hang.
Playful Plaid Leaves
Here's a Thanksgiving decoration that's as playful as it is fun!
Make the wreath: Wrap a foam wreath form with patterned ribbon. Next, trace leaf stencils onto double-stick fusible webbing and attach your plaid fabric to cut out leaves. Then fuse several more cut out leaves to felt and cut them out. Attach the felt and plaid leaves to your covered base with pushpins or hot glue, and use a strip of leftover fabric to hang your creation.
Corn Husk Wreath
Make this wreath by attaching corn husks (roughly 18) and corncobs (roughly 9) in an alternating pattern on a flat-wire 18-inch frame with hot-glue. Give the piece more texture and a perfectly imperfect look by fraying the ends of the husks.
Thanksgiving Paper Cone Gratitude Wreath
Yes, this wreath is elegant and welcoming, but it's also a great conversation starter: Prior to your Thanksgiving dinner, ask guests to write down something they're grateful for on a piece of paper, which they can then tuck into this decoration's pockets.
