DIY Fall Front Porch Decorations
This year our front door has a simple fall swag that I made on a tobacco base. I also put together this easy fall leaf garland to frame the top of the doorway.
How to Make a Fall Leaf Garland
All you need is some artificial leaves, heavy wire, a couple of fall picks, and a mini pumpkin pick.
- Measure out two lengths of wire from the middle of the doorway out to the sides.
- Poke the wire through each leaf and thread them on the wire.
- Once they are in place use a little hot glue to attach each leaf to the wire.
4. Attach the garland to the doorway using nails or hooks.
5. Wire on the mini pumpkin and fall picks in the center.
Next, I removed some of the end-of-season flowers from our planters and replaced them with orange mums and faux pumpkins. I kept the neutral green trailing plant and the pretty purple tradescantia. I think the purple foliage looks good with the orange flowers, don't you?
A couple more pumpkins in neutral colors and basic black lanterns are scattered at the base of the planters.
The final touches include a wooden fall harvest sign on the right and a dark glass amber bottle filled with some pretty foliage. Welcome Fall!
Next up on the tour is the talented Michelle of Thistle Key Lane, with her classic vintage style. And listed below you will find links to all of the bloggers and their amazing fall posts for the entire week.

How pretty, Patti! That tobacco basket is the perfect color and texture for creating the swag that you made. I love the leaf garland too and need to give that a try!

Happy fall, Patti! Your entryway looks lovely and very festive. We only have a front stoop, so I'm a big jealous of all your space. 😉 You really make the most of it. So pretty!!!

Love the idea of using fall leaves on the doorway, Patti. We do that at Christmas, but never thought to do it for Fall. Can’t wait to follow up your pumpkin and mum ideas.
