Supplies to make a fall split wood bead wreath
Gather your supplies for a variety of faux fall florals or stems from hobby stores or shop your local dollar store for the most inexpensive way to put this cutie together. We’ve sourced some online shopping for you if you’re not ready to venture out quite yet. Note: My florals/stems were purchased at JoAnn, see pic below for my haul:
SHOPPING LIST:
- 16″ Wood Wreath Form (be sure to use your 40% off coupon if it’s not already on sale!)
- 2″ Split Wood Balls: use code LOLLYJANE to save 10%, whoo hoo! (You’ll need 2 packs of 10 to cover a 16″ wood wreath form.)
- Assortment of Faux Fall Flower, Wood Leaves, Dried Banksia, Fall Stems, Faux Pumpkins, Fall Leaves, Faux Artichokes, Dried Pods. NOTE: Unfortunately, most of these supplies were purchased IN STORE at JoAnn and aren’t available online, we learned. SUCH A BUMMER! We’ve linked similar finds elsewhere, get creative 😉
- Elmer’s Advance ProBond Glue. It’s weatherproof so the beads won’t pop off like hot glue can in warmer weather!
- Floral Wire
- Craft Wire Snips/Pliers
- Command Strip (optional)
How to make a fall split wood bead wreath
Making this wood bead floral wreath is so easy, here’s the easy steps that should only take you half hour (or less!)
First step: Hot glue 16 beads onto your wreath form.
I find it easier to put the glue directly on the wreath form, it just takes a few minutes to dry. Note: Don’t hang it for at least an hour or until the glue completely sets.
Step two: Take floral stems apart.
Step three: Tightly wrap leaves around wreath form first then layer with larger elements.
Step four: Tuck smaller elements into the wreath and secure with floral wire. Trim with wire snips.
Add your largest elements last and wrap with floral wire, trim with snips and ta-da! All done.
Simply place the command strip on the wreath form to hang (optional) or place wreath over a hook. However you display it, guaranteed you’ll love it! 💛🍂

Can you use foam wreath forms instead of wood? I’ve checked both Joann’s and Michael’s online and they don’t have the wooden forms.
Hi Julie! As long as you can get it to lay flat, go for it 🙂
This is so adorable and I can’t wait to make it! Are there any local craft stores that I can purchase the split wood balls from? I’m having a craft night this week and not sure if they would arrive in time from etsy. Thanks!!
Hi Ana!
So sorry for the pokey reply, I know Hobby Lobby sells them and I’m sure JoAnn/Michaels do too, hopefully they’re on sale for you! Check the unfinished wood area 🙂 Happy crafting!
OMG the wreath is so pretty. I have the half balls and have not made one yet. You should see my downstairs storage room. I have my wreaths up on wall space. My husband is now tired of wreaths. LOL
When I tried the link to get the 16 inch wooden wreath form, it would not come up. Where did you purchase the wooden wreath form?
Hi Mary! It’s from Michaels, Ashland brand. Here’s the direct link: https://rstyle.me/+C2jDGABtVMnNZxHcZcxcMQ 🙂
Sooo cute! I made your spring one and now I want this fall one!! But the links for the florals look totally different from the ones you have…where did you find yours?
Hi Karen! Yay! I got all of mine at JoAnn, they just don’t have links on their website- boo. All of them are from the Bloom Room line 🙂
This is sooo adorable!! I want to coordinate a DIY wreath workshop social distanced in my backyard with neighbors now! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
That sounds so fun Mindy!!! Would love to see how they turn out 🙂 Happy crafting!
