Front Door Wreath<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s time to create that warm fuzzy feeling at your doorstep. Welcome family and friends to your home by hanging an autumnal wreath on your front door. The wreath can be constructed from natural elements found in fields or forests, or purchase artificial flowers, leaves and grasses from your favorite craft store for a pop of color.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”7\/12″ woodmart_css_id=”667ab5cc41d70″ parallax_scroll=”no” woodmart_sticky_column=”false” wd_collapsible_content_switcher=”no” wd_column_role_offcanvas_desktop=”no” wd_column_role_offcanvas_tablet=”no” wd_column_role_offcanvas_mobile=”no” wd_column_role_content_desktop=”no” wd_column_role_content_tablet=”no” wd_column_role_content_mobile=”no” mobile_bg_img_hidden=”no” tablet_bg_img_hidden=”no” woodmart_parallax=”0″ woodmart_box_shadow=”no” responsive_spacing=”eyJwYXJhbV90eXBlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfcmVzcG9uc2l2ZV9zcGFjaW5nIiwic2VsZWN0b3JfaWQiOiI2NjdhYjVjYzQxZDcwIiwic2hvcnRjb2RlIjoidmNfY29sdW1uIiwiZGF0YSI6eyJ0YWJsZXQiOnt9LCJtb2JpbGUiOnt9fX0=” mobile_reset_margin=”no” tablet_reset_margin=”no” wd_z_index=”no”]\t\t

    Next, add real or artificial pumpkins on your porch. You can stack them from smallest to largest and also add different varieties of pumpkins to the mix. It adds more interest if you choose other colors besides orange.<\/p>\n

    For a little ambience, use a lantern with battery or solar powered lights<\/a> to create a warm glow. (Sold on Amazon.<\/a>)<\/p>\n

    Purchase some chrysanthemums, asters or other autumnal flowers and repot them. Place them in groupings of odd numbers as a beautiful centerpiece.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column woodmart_css_id=”667ab66759c30″ parallax_scroll=”no” woodmart_sticky_column=”false” wd_collapsible_content_switcher=”no” wd_column_role_offcanvas_desktop=”no” wd_column_role_offcanvas_tablet=”no” wd_column_role_offcanvas_mobile=”no” wd_column_role_content_desktop=”no” wd_column_role_content_tablet=”no” wd_column_role_content_mobile=”no” mobile_bg_img_hidden=”no” tablet_bg_img_hidden=”no” woodmart_parallax=”0″ woodmart_box_shadow=”no” responsive_spacing=”eyJwYXJhbV90eXBlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfcmVzcG9uc2l2ZV9zcGFjaW5nIiwic2VsZWN0b3JfaWQiOiI2NjdhYjY2NzU5YzMwIiwic2hvcnRjb2RlIjoidmNfY29sdW1uIiwiZGF0YSI6eyJ0YWJsZXQiOnt9LCJtb2JpbGUiOnt9fX0=” mobile_reset_margin=”no” tablet_reset_margin=”no” wd_z_index=”no”]\t\t

    Buy a bale of hay, place it by the side of your door, and arrange mums around it or on top of it. Add some pumpkins and gourds to the mix. Remember to use an odd amount of items to the centerpiece.<\/p>\n

    Don\u2019t forget to add a welcome mat!<\/p>\n

    Pillars by the Door<\/h3>\n

    If you door is bordered by pillars, wrap them with leaf garland, either store bought or that you\u2019ve created yourself. You can also add the garland around the left, right and top of a window to create a focal point.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=13IiEXir5y0″ css=”” woodmart_css_id=”667ab723b69d2″ image_poster_switch=”no”]\t\t

    \n\t\t\t

    Wrap pillars with grapevine garland or create your own grapevine garland using twigs, florist wire, rope and a hot glue gun.<\/p>\n

    After creating the grapevine garland, attach decorations such as small gourds or pumpkins with a hot glue gun.<\/p>\n

    Go to your local farm stand and buy some corn stalks. Attach them to the pillars with twine. Don\u2019t forget to open the remaining ears of corn on the stalks. This adds color to the stalks and also feeds the birds!<\/p>\n

      Lastly, you\u2019ll want to decorate your garden. You can use many of the suggestions listed above in addition to those below.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″]\t\t

      \n\t\t\t

      1. Create your own scarecrow by stuffing an old flannel shirt and some scruffy jeans with either fallen leaves or hay. Tie the waist of the pants and shirt with rope. Tie the end of the sleeves with rope allowing some hay to stick out. Place the two parts on a step or chair. Draw a cool face on a pumpkin or a round ball and place it on top of the scarecrow. Top it off with an old hat and a handkerchief around the neck. Think the Wizard of Oz!!<\/p>\n

      2. Purchase ready made scarecrows with large stakes and place them sporadically in the garden.<\/p>\n

      3. Add homemade ghosts to trees by hanging them with string.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″]\t\t
