Fall Hoop Wreath with Fruit & Shiplap Frame

|

This modern fall hoop wreath with faux fruit and a shiplap background is a fun spin on more traditional fall wreaths! Grab your DIY tools and let’s get started!

Hi friends! It’s time to start really planning and making decor for our fall homes. I know that it’s still hot in most of the country, but this is the perfect time to get your craft on for the coming season.

I love making new wreaths for every season and this season is no different. But I wanted to try a few new ideas this year.

First up, I wanted to incorporate fruit into my fall wreath this year. I was first inspired by some faux peach stems that I bought this at a local store. I’ve since found some very similar peach stems online!

While peaches don’t exactly scream fall, the orange color fits perfectly. I paired with some deep purple stems and green pear and artichoke. I’d like to think that it has a harvest theme. 😊🍑🍐🌽

Secondly I love this modern “hoop” wreath style with a thin wire frame and a small floral arrangement in the corner or to one side. It’s so cute, but I also love it because it takes a lot less fat foliage, making it more economical. I’m all about a budget-friendly DIY.

Lastly, I’ve seen some really cute wreaths placed on a framed “shiplap” board. Mine is simple a framed wooden board from Hobby Lobby with pencil lines drawn on it for the “shiplap” look. I love how it turned out and adds a little more dimension to my wreath.

How to Make a Fall Hoop Wreath

It’s so easy, you’ll be decorating with your new fall wreath in no time! Here are the simple steps.

1. Gather your supplies.

Gather the supplies for your fall wreath with faux fruit!

You will need a frame, a hoop or metal ring, (optional) spray paint, floral and fruit stems of your choice.

And you will need supplies for building your wreath like a hot glue gun & hot glue, floral wire and wire cutters.

2. Spray paint the wreath form

Choose the color you want for your metal hoop frame and spray it!

I wanted my hoop to be copper, so I grabbed this foil metallic copper spray paint and it worked great! Now I’m making a mental note of everything I’ll be spray painting this fall. LOVE the copper color for fall.

3. Start attaching the stems to the wreath hoop with wire and hot glue

Attach the floral and fruit stems to the wreath hoop.

When the paint is dry on the ring, you can start attaching your faux stems to it. I used floral wire in a few places on each stem to keep it holding on the ring.

Then I glued the floral wire, stem and ring together because I didn’t want the floral stems moving once I picked it up!

I started with the stems I wanted on the outside bottom and worked my way up and in, until everything looked good.

I added the faux pear and artichoke by “threading” floral wire through the back of the fruit. They are made of styrofoam, so it’s not hard to get the wire through. And then I hot glued the wire in place.

4. Attach a burlap bow to the enter of the floral and fruit stems.

Add a burlap bow to the center of the hoop wreath to cover up all of the stems and floral wire in the middle!

To cover up the messy middle of the fruit and stems, I grabbed a burlap bow and stuck it on! I love the look and it brings some of the rustic texture back to the wreath, which is perfect for fall!

5. Draw “shiplap” lines on the frame.

Draw "shiplap" lines on the framed board with a pencil and a scrap piece of wood!

I used a pencil and a scrap board to draw lines across my framed board to give it the look of shiplap. I think it turned out pretty cute for a free upgrade!

6. Hang the wreath on the framed board.

I nailed a small nail into the top of the board, right under the frame and hung the wreath up on it. The weight of the one-sided wreath pulled on it, so I added another small nail to the right of the original nail so that the wreath wouldn’t hang crooked on the board.

Tada! Done!

I love how it turned out and can’t wait to place it in its final spot for my fall home decorating tour, which I’ll be sharing really soon!

  1. Laura, very creative wreath over shiplap. What I really love here is the sign above the wreath. At first I thought “metal letters”, then “ah, no. Paint.” My question is: how did you achieve the look of rusty letters if, indeed, this is painted. Thank you for all of your amazing ideas.

  2. Love this fresh look for fall, Laura! And I took note of that copper spray paint! I was thinking it might be time to look into it.

  3. Laura,
    This is so fun, and I love the shiplap frame. What a clever and fabulous idea! It looks so pretty in your home welcoming fall!

  4. I love this, Laura! So pretty with the shiplap background – thanks for the great tutorial and for being part of this hop!

  5. Laura, this is stunning! I’m feeling the peaches and purples this year too, so your wreath is totally speaking to me, lol. The peaches are adorable! xoxo
