4. Wood Ring Wreath

Whether you have a bright or neutral front door, this classic wreath looks great year-round. Wrap a wire wreath form with thin jute rope, then cut lengths of the same rope and braid them together. Use the braid as a base to cover a wooden wreath ring with groupings of preserved red sycamore leaves, oregano, pinecones, and phalaris grass for a natural display that celebrates autumn.

5. Succulent Wreath

Succulents work well in a wreath because their stems are not as rigid and can be bent to fit the shape of the frame. Succulent wreaths use a wire frame to hold a collection of echeverias, crassulas, and graptopetalums. Using a fat pencil or dowel, poke a hole in the moss on the wire frame and insert a succulent cutting. Press gently to secure it.

Use a wire to pin each cutting in place and add floral pins for extra support. Be sure to hang this wreath in a shady spot, since too much sun can cause the succulents to stretch.
