This tutorial will guide you to the making of a fall wreath by using a very common seasonal produce – nuts. You can use any hard-shelled nuts – almonds, pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts, or acorns or a mix of them – that you can collect from even your own backyard. The other materials listed here can easily be picked up from your local market or from online shop.

How to Make a Nut Wreath:

1. Separate the nuts according to their sizes – larger and smaller.

3. Take the smaller nuts and glue them to the blank spaces. Affix them to the inner and outer edges of the form too.
4. Now, make a bow using the ribbon and tie it around the wreath’s top or bottom part. Your masterpiece is ready! Hang it wherever you like.

Nuts of various sizes have been used in this wreath to create patterns and layers. In addition, the entire frame of the form has been covered with nuts so that no part of it remains visible when it is decorating your front door or living room wall.
