Create Your Gorgeous Fall Nut Wreath Decor Now!

 

 

Supplies List for This beautiful Wreath

    • 8″ wire wreath base of your choice
    • hot glue gun and hot glue sticks 
    • burlap ribbon to wrap a metal wreath form or a foam wreath form
    • 105 hazelnuts in the shell - grocery store
    • metal skewer or tweezers 
    • Spanish moss
    • paintbrush (optional)
    • paper towel (optional)
    • silver craft paint (optional)
    • scissors

Step 1: Grab Your Glue Gun

First step, purchase an 8" wire wreath base to make this festive nut wreath. These can be found at Michaels stores, Hobby Lobby, or Amazon. Now is the perfect time to plug in your hot glue gun and gather your glue sticks. Because it is a wire wreath base it's important to wrap the form with burlap ribbon. This gives the wreath a base to hold the hot glue and nuts. This is a perfect time to plug in your hot glue gun to heat.

Step 2: Create a Stunning DIY Wreath: Hot Gluing Nuts

Use your hot glue gun and glue the hazelnuts to the wreath base. The first row is the most time-consuming for this fall DIY. I used 105 hazelnuts to cover the entire wreath. After adding the first row, continue filling adding hot glue to cover the entire wreath with hazelnuts.

Cindy's Nut Tip: Add the hot glue to the flatter side of each nut. This makes the nuts more stable. Hold each nut for a minute to set.

Step 3: A Rustic Natural Touch: Spanish Moss To Fill In Spaces

Next step, cover your workspace with craft paper, the Spanish moss can be messy. This will make the cleanup a snap. Use scissors to cut a small amount of Spanish moss. Carefully add a little bit of hot glue to a space in between the nuts. Use a metal skewer or the point of tweezers to add the moss. The Spanish moss is the easiest way to give this stunning fall wreath a rustic/natural look.
Cindy's Spanish Moss Tip: Adding the moss is optional. That said, it adds so much to the wreath. Also, use a metal skewer or tweezers to push the moss into the small space between the nuts. Use finger protectors if you don't have a tool to add the Spanish moss.

Step 4: Add Silver Wax or Silver Craft Paint to Your DIY Fall Wreath

Lastly, I added silver gilding wax to the nuts for elegance. After adding the silver wax, buff lightly with a lint-free rag. Let dry completely.

Another option is dry brushing the nuts with silver craft paint. Dry brushing is an easy step. Dip the tip of your paintbrush into your paint and wipe the excess off on a paper towel.

Hang Your Festive Nut Wreath with Style: Ribbon, Candles, and Creative Displays for a Stunning Focal Point

Now hang this festive nut wreath with a ribbon of your choice. A dark gray satin ribbon with the gilding would be beautiful. After you create your gorgeous fall nut wreath decor now, add your wreath as a centerpiece to a dining room, coffee table, or lantern. The natural look of this gorgeous wreath makes the perfect centerpiece with a battery-operated candle. The result is a beautiful focal point and adds a wow factor. 
Cindy's DIY Fall Wreath Tip: When displaying a wreath, add it to a lantern or create a centerpiece in a dining room. Harvest wreaths make the perfect centerpiece with a battery-operated candle. Add a battery-operated candle to a wreath on a coffee table. The end result is a beautiful focal point with a wow factor. Add pumpkins, acorns, small pinecones, or candy corn to a glass vase. This creates a stunning centerpiece and wow factor in the dining room or coffee table.

This wreath will be a beautiful centerpiece. Add it to a dining room, coffee table, or lantern. Place a battery-operated candle in the center. The warm glow is especially perfect with the natural elements.  As mentioned above, I enjoy creating wreaths for multiple seasons. This festive wreath offers rustic/elegance for the harvest season and works for the rest of the year. This is the time to visit craft stores and the grocery store. It is an easy way to refresh your holiday decor. I hope you found beautiful inspiration and create a gorgeous fall nut wreath decor now! The end result is a nut wreath that adds a natural look to any space. Please look back through this blog post. I share tips and ideas to help with future craft ideas, and I look forward to sharing my next project with you!
