In autumn, it gets dark earlier again. Warm lights create a cozy atmosphere in the garden.
Autumn wreath for the front door
Large wreaths made from dried flowers, grasses, and dried grains such as wheat or rye are ideal autumn decorations for the front door. Using a hot glue gun, you can attach nuts, chestnuts, beechnuts, and the seed pods of Chinese lantern plants, and loosely tuck larger leaves, such as maple or chestnut leaves, into the wreath. Dried hydrangea blossoms also look wonderful in an autumn wreath. To add a finishing touch, wrap rusty or gold wire around the wreath – this will keep it stable and in shape, and its color will complement the natural materials beautifully.
Once the wreath is finished, you can hang it on the front door or place it in a corner of the entryway.
