Indian Summer Wreath

Indian summer wreaths are generally made of lots of leaves and flowers. You can keep it simple and make one by using dry corn leaves as the base. Collect some dry corn leaves, wash them, and soften them by spraying water on them. Trim the leaves to specific sizes. Use hydrangea, sweet Annie, fever-few, and leaves of eucalyptus too for the wreath. Arrange them nicely on a circular frame and tie them with hotmelt adhesive and wire. Make a loop on the back of it with a wire and hang it on the door.

Beach-Themed Wreath

A beach-themed wreath on the front door will not only be fun but also remind of the exciting beach activities. You can make a flip-flop wreath by using two or three pairs of colorful flip-flops. Buy two or three pairs of small metal or real flip-flops, decorate them with fabric flowers, and glue them to a fabric strip wreath. You can also create a seaside landscape by creating a wreath with natural glasses, dried flowers, and a store of coastal discoveries like seashells, orange starfishes, scallops, sea urchins, and conches.

Patriotic Wreath

Make a patriotic wreath to celebrate the Fourth of July and the summer season. Wrap a wreath frame with white, red, and blue colored yarns. The size of the single blue patch should be almost double than the red and white patches. Stick some white stars cut out from craft foam on the patch of blue yarns. Instead of stars, you can use white-colored buttons of different shapes. It will be a wreath version of the American flag.

Wreath of Balls

A wreath made of only balls will be a unique addition to your front door. You can make a baseball wreath by attaching a number of artificial foam-made baseballs to the wreath frame with glue, pin, or wire. Otherwise, use Styrofoam balls and wrap them up with torn strips of various colored fabrics. Use pins or glue gun to attach the balls to a fabric-covered wreath. Hang it on the door with a red- or yellow-colored ribbon.
