At this time of year, we start decorating our home early in preparation for all of the friends and family that will soon be visiting. We love to hang a wreath on the front door as soon as the air turns raw, even though the holidays are still so far away. While many holiday wreaths are made from hearty evergreen branches, our fall do-it-yourself harvest wreath is made from twigs and decorated with colorful faux weeping berry branches. If you visit your local craft store, you'll find an amazing assortment of life-like flowers and branches to create you own, signature design.

Materials
1. What You'll Need: You'll need a large, strong wreath. You can find lots of different sizes to choose from at your local craft store. This one, at 24 inches in diameter, cost about twenty dollars. The best part about making a wreath out of faux twigs and branches? You can bring it out again next year!

Next Steps
2. Shorten the stems of the branches with a pair of sturdy scissors or pliers.
3. Tie the branches onto the wreath (closest to the opening) using twine covered in twig-like material (if you like), or any dark brown twine will do to. You can use a glue-gun to adhere any stray pieces.

Finished Product
This wreath can live inside, hung on a mirror or above a mantelpiece, or outside on your front door. When it gets closer to Thanksgiving Day, tie on a pretty ribbon to announce that the festivities have officially begun.
