Chevron Golden Harvest Wreath

Looking for an easy DIY wreath for fall? Then the Chevron Golden Harvest Wreath is for you! It’s my easiest wreath to date. Just add spray and glitter! For more fun door hanger ideas see my Wreaths + Plants page.

The weather is cooling down! Yay! Fall is on its way. This is my favorite season of the year and it’s finally time to get the holiday decorations out!

As you may know from following the blog I love wispy grapevine wreaths! I tried to steer away from them this year but they always lure me in at the craft store. They are just so.. well wispy and I love them!

This year I decided I would go simple. I have double front doors and if you make double wreaths you do not want them to be too busy.

I was in the mood for a straw wheat type look this year and to save time and money I spray painted the wreaths yellow to look harvesty, yes I made that word up, but it fits for this craft.

I sprinkled them with some sparkling gold glitter, then added an easy chevron ribbon.

But don’t be fooled by the simplicity of these golden harvest wreaths, they are going to get a Halloween facelift, see the Creepy Bat Golden Halloween Wreath post next to see how I did it.

Here’s how I made these~

Golden Harvest Wreath

Supplies:

• 1-(2) Wispy Wreaths
• 1-(2) Cans of Valspar Color Radiance Spray Paint in Flat Carmel Honey
• Martha Stewart Crafts Fine Glitter, Florentine Gold
• Spark Wow! Glitter & Spark! Tinsel in Gold
• Spray Adhesive
• 4″ X 10′ Dark Red Burlap Ribbon
• 2.5 x 3 yards of Red Chevron Canvas Cut Edge Ribbon
• Hot Glue and Gun {or Fabric Glue}
• Command Strips or Hooks to Hang Wreath

Instructions:

Spray your wreath front and back using the whole can of Carmel Honey spray paint. These wreaths have so many nooks and crannies you will need almost a whole can for each, so get two cans if you are making two.

When you have finished spraying the wreath and it is still wet lightly spray the spray glue over it. Shake the glitter over the wreath.

Touch up the paint a little with the spray paint and added a heavier coat of spray glue to the center of the wreath and shake the Spark tinsel glitter on for extra glitz. Let it dry overnight.

Measure how low you want your wreath to hang on your door and cut the red ribbon to size. Mine is 3 1/2 feet long.

Lay the Chevron ribbon over the burlap ribbon and hot glue it down the center. (The purple and black chevron ribbon shown in the above pic is for the Halloween version of these wreaths).

Lay the Chevron ribbon over the burlap ribbon and hot glue it down the center.

I used thin strips of hot glue and pressed the ribbon into the burlap with my hand as it dried to bond it.  

Burlap is a mesh and I did not want the ribbon to come off after being outside in the elements. So press down hard as you glue the ribbon to the burlap ribbon. 

Loop your ribbon the through the wreath.

I used a large safety pin to secure the back end of the ribbon to the back side of the front ribbon.

I am changing the ribbon tp purple for Halloween and this is an easy way to swap them out. Otherwise, you could just glue it if you are leaving the wreath the way it is.

You will only put one layer of the ribbon over the door. Two layers were too thick and made the door not close, lol.

I have kids that open that door constantly and I can only imagine the wreath being beaten to death and falling down in a couple of hours.

One layer goes up over the door and secured it with command hooks or strips so it is nice and secure.

And that’s it! I hope you will try making my golden harvest wreath! I am set for fall, except that everything is still green outside. Boo! Super easy, I hope I inspired you to start your seasonal decorating!
