Handmade Scarescrow Mesh Fall Wreath
This is a very lovely handmade scarecrow mesh fall wreath. If you are into DIY, this project is for you! It would be great to keep for yourself or give as a gift.
Materials
- 14” metal wreath form
- 2 packages of decorative mesh (brown, orange and yellow patterned)
- 1 package of ribbon tulle (gold with leaves)
- 1 roll chevron ribbon (white with orange, green and red chevron stripes)
- 1 roll orange burlap ribbon
- 15 fuzzy sticks/chenille stems
- 2 pack of scarecrow picks
Tools
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun loaded with glue
Instructions
Before you start, note:
that you will need a total of 30 bunches of ribbon/mesh/tulle. You will have
roughly enough for 5 bunches on each of the 6 sections in the wreath form. You
will make 6 bunches with 4 pieces, then the remaining 24 pieces with 3 bunches.
If you are able to do more than 6 punches with 4 pieces, that’s fine
- Cut all of your ribbons and mesh into 6-inch lengths.
- Cut each fuzzy stick/chenille stem in half.
- Roll each piece of mesh into a tighter tube.
- Roll each piece of the ribbon tulle diagonally.
- Gather 3-4 pieces of mush, ribbon, and/or tulle; laying each piece on top of the other, in a snowflake-like pattern. Alternate between them all, to achieve them whimsical look of this wreath.
- Wrap a chenille stem around the bunch and twist 3 times.
- Repeat steps 5-6 until you have 30 bunches.
- Now it’s time to start attaching the bunches to the wreath. Lay the chenille stem over the inner two wires on the wreath and twist the stems together three times to secure.
- Repeat this step over the entire wreath, attaching 5 bunches to each of the 6 sections. You will want to pace them so that the different ribbons are somewhat evenly scattered throughout the wreath.
- Once all of the bunches are attached, you will fluff them out with your hands, until
you get the look you desire. - Break the sticks off of each scarecrow.
- Attach the 2 scarecrows to the wreath using hot glue, and stick them to some of the ribbon to hold them in place.

I hope you enjoy your handmade project as much as I did with this scarecrow mesh wreath. It is PERFECT for fall 🙂 Maybe you could let this Instant Pot Mexican Stew while you are working on it. You can also get an abundance of wreath ideas here at Good Housekeeping.
It’s so fun and cute! Love, love, love it!
that would be a cute thing to make with my granddaughter
i love this great job i usually decorate porch n inside my house for fall n leave it up til after thanksgiving so i might try something like this
That one is cute. Might out one together for next year. Think I’ll head to the dollar tree today to pick up the supplies.
Oh Stacey,
Send me a pic if you do. I’d love to see it.
I have a Fall wreath that I purchased a couple of years ago…now I see a perfect way to liven it up a bit.
Isn’t great that you can update and customize items that you already have. I just LOVE that!
This is one of the prettiest wreaths I’ve seen online!
AWESOME, thank you! I appreciate that.
This is really cute, Sonya! It even looks like something I think I could do. Me and ribbon have an antagonistic relationship and usually whenever anything needs to be done with ribbon in a project, I have my granddaughter do it!
Oh, I just found out today that I’m old enough to have a grand daughter, lol- and I dearly wish that I had a little girl around my home. You are lucky.
You’ll do a great job on this wreath, it’s beautiful.
I absolutely love what you did here for a wreath, how gorgeous is this. I hope to be able to make one.

I super love this wreath! Whoever came up with this is so clever and it seems easy enough even for us noncrafty people.
Michelle,
It is very easy and it IS for US non crafty people 🙂
This is such a cute Fall decor project. It doesn’t seem too difficult to make.
Thank you Kelly! It really is a fairly easy project.
Great fall project. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Renee!
This is such a neat idea! I love how it turned out. The colours are so pretty too.
Oh thank you Jenn, I loved the colors!
That is so cute! Great gift idea!
I love this. I love wreaths though.
I do too girl. I am not crafty though so I would probably glue my fingers together LOL
I doubt it 🙂 But… I have done this when Gracie was little and everything was extremely messy and I do mean a MESS. We made quite a FEW.
Looks like the pro wreaths they have at the stores, cool project!
It is a fun one!
