Ok this is one of my most requested craft tutorials: my rose gold fall wreath that I originally shared on Martha Stewart circa 2016-2017. I didn’t think it would be this popular – but the internet has spoken. If you love decorating for fall with autumn hues like red and orange with a touch of pink (of course!), this wreath tutorial is for you! It’s simple and elegant but serves a big pop of color to any front door or entryway!
Also, this wreath will last you for a very long time because it uses dried foliage. Do you like reusing the same holiday decor year after year or is the fun of holiday decorating for you about crafting new projects every year?
For me personally, it all depends on what’s happening in my life at the time. If it’s a busy or stressful year, it’s nice to have reusable decor that I can just pull out and decorate with. But other years, I get an itch to craft new things! Let me know in the comments below or head over to my Instagram page and let me know if you like reusing your holiday decor or crafting something new each year.
Without further ado, here is the tutorial.

How To Make A Rose Gold Fall Wreath
Materials
- 18″ grape vine wreath
- Dried red caspia, one bunch
- Dried orange caspia, one bunch
- 3 mini pumpkins (mine are real pumpkins but you can opt for faux mini pumpkins too).
- Rose gold spray paint
- Miniature pinecones, gold glittered (I bought mine pre-glittered).
- Hot glue (optional)
- Floral gauge wire
Steps
- Spray paint 3 mini pumpkins with copper spray paint. Let dry.
- Cut the caspia stems till they’re about 3” long. Group 3 or so stems together and insert into grapevine wreath all the way around.
- Start by inserting orange stems all the way around the wreath and then layer with red stems, once again going all the way around.
- Secure pumpkins to wreath by inserting floral gauge at the bottom of the pumpkin. Twist the ends to the back of the grape vine wreath and hide the wire with some of the stems.
- For the pinecones, secure with hot glue or florist wire if desired. If you’re hanging this on a door, I recommend floral wire so the pinecones don’t topple off with the door opening and closing. (That’s the risk with adhering glittery items with glue gun.)
If you’re thinking about reusing this wreath for many years, swap out the fresh pumpkins each year. Or go for mini faux pumpkins. (I just used the real pumpkins for this project because I got a whole bag at a low price!)
