Instructions
Step 1: Add the Lambs Ear
- Lay out the Lambs Ear picks on the steel ring to plan your spacing. Three should face upwards, and the bottom one should face sideways.
- Attach each pick using floral wire. Wrap the wire around the stems and steel ring 2-3 times, then twist to secure.
- Layer and attach the remaining Lambs Ear picks to fill out the base of your wreath.
Step 2: Add Eucalyptus
- Snip apart the Eucalyptus picks to create smaller sprigs.
- Tuck the sprigs between the Lambs Ear picks and attach with floral wire for a fuller look.
Step 3: Include Astilbe Picks
- Cut the Astilbe bush into three sections.
- Attach each piece near the top, middle, and bottom of the wreath for a balanced design.
Step 4: Add Berry Picks
- Divide the Cream & Brown Berry Pick into two sprigs.
- Attach one near the bottom and the other about a third of the way up.
Step 5: Finish with Pumpkins
- Bend the stems on the pumpkin picks so they sit nicely on the wreath.
- Attach the large pumpkin first, then add the smaller pumpkins on either side for a charming, asymmetrical look.
Step 6: Create a Hanger
- Tie the jute rope around the steel ring, threading it through leaves and stems to keep it secure.
- Adjust the hanger’s position so the wreath stays upright with the pumpkins off to one side.
Tip to keep the wreath upright with the pumpkins off to one side: Determine the spot on the wreath that should be the top. This is where you will tie the rope hanger. Thread one end of the jute rope under a leaf, around stems and steel ring. Bring that end all the way around until it is even with the other end of the rope. Tie a tight knot around the wreath. Take the remaining two ends of the rope and tie them into a knot creating your loop. Trim any excess rope.
Step 7: Final Touches
- Trim any excess floral stems or wire to ensure your wreath hangs flat against the wall or door.

FAQs
Absolutely! Swap the pumpkins for spring flowers, summer berries, or winter pinecones to enjoy this wreath year-round.
If floral wire isn’t enough, try hot glue. Just note that the pumpkins might not be reusable afterward.
Floral wire works best for flexibility and reusability, but you can also use hot glue or floral tape for a more permanent hold.
Check out dollar stores or reuse faux greenery from other projects to keep costs low. You can even forage for natural elements like branches or dried leaves.

How to Make a Modern Farmhouse Fall Wreath
Materials
Tools
Instructions
- Start by laying 4 Lambs Ear Picks on metal hoop to gauge spacing. Three Lambs Ear Picks will face upwards (as if they were growing upwards). The bottom most Lambs Ear Pick is placed in the opposite direction (as if they were growing sideways).
- Attach one Lambs Ear Pick to metal hoop by wrapping floral wire around the stem in two places. Wrap the wire around the stem and ring 2-3 times. Twist the ends of the floral wire together like the twist ties on a loaf of bread.
- Attach one Lambs Ear Pick facing the opposite direction, overlapping the stems.
- Attach remaining 3 Lambs Ear Picks to steel ring.
- Snip apart Eucalyptus Picks using wire cutters. I used 4 sprigs of Eucalyptus which is 1 Pick and 1 cutting from a second Pick. Add more Eucalyptus if want a fuller wreath. Attach with floral wire in-between the Lambs Ear Picks.
- Snip apart 3 branches of the Astilbe Bush Pick using wire cutters. Attach a sprig near the top, middle and bottom.
- Pull apart the Cream & Brown Berry Pick creating two sprigs. Attach 1 near the bottom and one sprig about 1/3 near the top.
- Bend pumpkin stems so the pumpkins can “sit” on the wreath when attached. Attach Large Pumpkin Pick first. Then attach smaller pumpkin picks on each side.
- Add a Jute Rope loop to hang wreath. I used a 12” piece of rope. The pumpkins are light weight, but they are the heaviest feature on the wreath. Tying the Jute Rope Hanger in the correct place is key. Otherwise, the weight of the pumpkins will make the wreath turn and the pumpkins will hang at the bottom. To keep the wreath upright with the pumpkins off to one side: Determine the spot on the wreath which should be the top. This is where you will tie the rope hanger. Thread one end of the jute rope under a leaf, around stems and steel ring. Bring that end all the way around until it is even with the other end of the rope. Tie a tight knot around the wreath. Take the remaining two ends of the rope and tie them into a knot creating your loop. Trim any excess rope.
- Trim any excess floral stems with wire cutters that poke out awkwardly or hinder the wreath from hanging flat against the surface. Tuck under or trim any excess floral wire.
Notes
Bonus Tip:
You could also leave the pumpkins off for a non-seasonal wreath. Or add spring florals or winter berry picks for different seasons!
