Hello Fall Harvest Wreath + FREE Printable
It’s my favorite time of the year again~ Fall! Time to get the decorations out to celebrate the Harvest Season.

This year I wanted to make something that would be great outside hanging from a fence or near a pumpkin patch! My Hello Fall Harvest Wreath + Free Printable sign is just that! For more fall decor ideas see my Fall+ Thanksgiving Holiday Crafting page.
The pumpkin patches have not arrived here yet in North Carolina, so I went with a few different scenarios. No worries though in the next few weeks the leaves will change and be gone and the holidays will be upon us! Yay!
I had originally bought this group of sticks to make a vertical corn swag, but the more I worked with the sticks the more I wanted something a little different, so I took them apart and made a natural square wreath.
Next, I added a thrift store wooden tray that I made over with a little chalkboard paint, a few pieces of real Indian corn and a couple of hungry crows. I hope you like what I came up with this year~ Enjoy the FREE Printable of the “Hello Fall & Leaves” for your decor or projects!
Hello Fall Harvest Wreath FREE Printable
Supplies:
- Large Stick Bundle to Make the Wreath, (Found in Floral or Craft Stores, see image below)
- Small Stick Bundle
- Jute Twine
- Floral Wire
- Jute Wire
- Indian Corn Bushell
- Wheat Bundle
- Burlap Ribbon
- Two Faux Black Crows
- Wooden Serving Tray
- Chalkboard Paint
- Hot Glue and Gun
Instructions:
TIP: I used my “old school” overhead projector to add the chalk art to my tray, (see the tutorial below). Another technique to stencil a printable onto wood using a pencil can be found on my Fall Awaits Hand Painted Pallet Sign post.
Take your bundle of sticks apart and separate them into four bundles.
Make the top and bottom bundle the strongest branches.
Use floral wire to wrap in a crisscross pattern on each corner. Pull tight and twist. Add hot glue to each corner in between the sticks to make the branches more stable.
Take jute twine and neatly wrap it over the sticks in a crisscross pattern around the front and glue tight.
Bundle three Indian corn stalks together with floral wire. Add wheat picks to the corn leaves. Tie the corn bundle to the corner of your wreath with twine and add a bow. Add the second smaller stick bundle to the right side of the wreath with floral wire.
For the tray sign, I sanded the center of it because it had grooves that were deep and I thought they might catch the chalk and mess up the lettering. Paint your tray with chalk paint and let it dry. Drill holes in both ends of the tray and add jute wire to attach tray!
Stenciling Chalkboard Art with an Overhead Projector
Supplies:
- Transparency paper for your printer
- Overhead projector
- Damp towel or sponge
- Chalk pens or regular chalk
- Printer
- PDF Printable for a transparency or free printable for wall art!
Instructions:
Tip: If you are using real chalk, sharpen the ends for a finer point and easier drawing.
Turn on your projector and adjust the pic. Tape the transparency paper to the projector so it does not move once you get them placed just right.
Use a command strip to add your tray to a wall or other surface.
Take the chalk pen and outline the words. Then turn the projector off and I freehand the rest. Use your wet towel or even q-tips to fix the mistakes. And that’s it! Super easy and fast professional looking chalk art!

Great tutorial — those “old school” projectors are handy! I like it in front of the painting — but if you do photoshop the leaves autumn colors that would be pretty awesome too! Featured this week on Busy Monday!
Great project, love it! Thanks for sharing the great tutorial! Would love to have you visit my blog sometime.
Enjoy your day!

This is so pretty and I love your technique for the chalkboard lettering! Featuring you today on my FB page – thanks for sharing at the {what’s shakin’} link party!!
Love that tray, it’s really pretty. I forgot to thank you for the printables. Shame on me, I’ll be using them often. Thanks
Bravo, love this for it’s diversity, inspiration, excellence, downright awesome. I love a square wreath. It’s great and I love the dickens out of it. Don’t have perfect sticks like you but do have sticks so will be busy making me a square wreath. Will have to wait to buy the corn, etc. Maybe I’ll have to make some leaves on paper to fill in. Great awesome post. Happy weekend
So beautiful! The perfect decoration for fall. Stopping by from 5 days 5 ways. Come hop on over sometime.
Kim it’s beautiful…I love that it’s not the usual wreath shape…xo
I love this! Such a unique door hanging and totally perfect for fall!
Thanks for linking up to this week’s Catch a Glimpse Party. I’ll be featuring this tomorrow.
I love this. SO cute for Fall. Just pinned to my fall board. Please consider linking up at The Patriotic Pam this weekend at my link party. I know my readers would love it too!

That is so cool! You just never see square wreaths, but when you do, they really stand out. Making this out of twigs and then adding the chalkboard tray is just perfect!
This is super cute! Would love to do this for my house!
I’m so obsessed with how different this is than the usual fall wreath! It’s so pretty!! I am obsessed with the tutorials on your blog! Everything is so crafty! Excited to be a new follower. :)
