Can I Use Fabric Instead of Burlap?

I love the look of burlap and denim together. However, this fall denim wreath can be made with whatever fabric you like. You will want to decide what fabric to use depending on where you are keeping the wreath. Lace would look stunning against the denim but might not hold up well if the wreath is left in the elements.

If the fabric that you are using doesn’t have a natural stiffness to it, you may want to add some interfacing to the back. This will help the fabric hold its shape and make it easier to work with.
You can also use fabric starch. Spray starch will help it to stay stiff, however, if it is in the rain, the starch will get washed off.

I can see this looking great if made with plaid, holiday-themed felt, or similar unique patterns that would highlight a season or theme and not just the fall or Thanksgiving/harvest look shown.

Is This Safe to Stay Outside?

The wreath is safe to keep outside, but as it is exposed to the elements it will become dirty and worn out. It will last for about a year when left out in the weather. It can be placed on the front door. If there is a slight overhang or roof over the door, the wreath will last much longer.

If you are leaving the wreath outside, you can try adding a spray sealer to the fabric. This can add a few more months of life to the fall denim wreath. Just know that denim is pretty durable and easy to wash, but once on the wreath form, it will be harder to clean.

What Other Ways Can I Decorate This Porch Wreath?

Once you have the two pieces of fabric together, you can add some embellishments or leave them plain. Below are some ideas that I love that would work great to customize your wreath a bit more.

• Use different fall-themed characters. I used a scarecrow but you could add pumpkins, acorns, sunflowers, faux leaves, or dried corn silk. Small gourds can also be added and make this look adorable.
• Add spooky looks like a ghost, witch, or even a Halloween monster if you want it to be more specifically themed. The same can work for any holiday from Christmas to the 4th of July.
• Glue or sew beads or sequins onto the denim or burlap edging so that it sparkles in the sunlight.
• Spray with glitter spray or use glitter paint to add details.
• Add flowers and a bow instead of the holiday-themed decor along the side.
• Use a third fabric or ribbon around the center area of ​​the wreath to add yet another dimension to the project.

Supplies Needed

How to Make a Fall Denim Door Wreath

Start by cutting the leg(s) from an old pair of blue jeans. I started by cutting along the seam, then cutting it off at the top of the leg where it connects with the hip. Then, cut the leg into two pieces, discarding the seam piece.

Now, separate the two pieces, and fold them in half lengthwise, individually. Add a bit of glue on the inside of each of these legs, to secure them in half toward the center seam, but leave the cut edges open.

Now, you will glue this around the wreath form, creating a ruffle, as it is being glued. Fold it over itself every 1″ to 2″.

Continue gluing, adding the second leg piece if needed, to cover the entire outer edge of the wreath form.

Then, repeat this process, but with burlap. Cut two strips of burlap that are around 6″ wide and the same length as the pant legs.

Fold these over lengthwise, individually, and glue them to create two strips that are around 3″ wide but open on the cut end.

Now, glue the burlap to the middle of the wreath form, below the denim, but cover the Styrofoam wreath form. You will glue this so that the burlap on the center is partially covering the denim on the outside creating two layers of ruffled fabric.

Once this is in place, go around the wreath and move the open ends around to ruffle the wreath a bit.

Then, use a stapler to connect the burlap to the denim every 3″ to 4″ to keep the ruffles and fluffs out as desired.

Now, make bows with the yellow and orange ribbons as desired. Glue them together or tie them together.

Then, cut off the end of the decoration (scarecrow) and glue it to the side/edge of the wreath as desired.

Now, glue the ribbons just made just below the scarecrow decoration. Add a length of twine or ribbon around the top to hang from the door if needed.
