Hello, hello, hello! Can you believe that it’s already time to start planning your early fall decor? I know, me neither, but it is. Today I’m going to share a beautiful piece that can don your door for early fall, and it’s so easy to make. You can DIY this early fall hanging door basket in only two steps, so it’s got to be one of the easiest wreaths you’ll ever encounter. Let’s get into the tutorial!
- hanging door basket
- fall florals & greenery
- floral foam
- wire cutters
This early fall hanging door basket is the easiest “wreath” that I have ever made! It only takes two steps and about 15 to 20 minutes to make. In addition, you can change out the flowers to fit each season which will save you money.
First, since we’ll be putting floral foam into the hanging basket, we need to cover the holes on the front of the basket. You can use fabric, felt, or whatever you have on hand that will correspond with the colors of your flowers. If you don’t have a tobacco basket style, you can skip this step.
Place your fabric over the back of the hanging door basket, smoothed out, and cut it to fit. You will only need enough to cover the shorter front section from side to side.
Now it’s time to assemble your fall hanging door basket. I like to balance my floral arrangements by adding something to the middle then something to each side that is the same or similar.
I love the way this turned out, especially because I got this hanging basket from Hobby Lobby for 80% off, only $7! I can change it for each season and holiday, so it was such a score! Here’s how my DIY early fall hanging door basket looks on my door.
