Wreaths are great to add to your home decor.  Wreaths aren’t just for the holidays either.  You can use them throughout the year, especially if they have a simple or neutral look to them.  

This DIY wood slice  wreath is just one of those very versatile wreaths.  Of course, you can use it for fall, which is what I made it for, but I think that it is so versatile that it can be used in many other decor situations.

Today I want to show you how easy this DIY  wood slice  wreath is to make.

Now, I added a few different options to the supply list depending on your skill level or what you want to do.

The first item, a foam core board….that is what I used to make mine, since that is what I had on hand.  But, these flat wreath forms are a really easy option as well.

So, if you want to use the foam core board, I used a large bowl to cut out a circle shape.  I then used a smaller plate to create the inside cut for the wreath form.

I cut the board with an Xacto knife.

Now you need your wood slices.  I cut mine on my miter saw from a branch we had in our wood pile.  If you do not have access to this, I provided a link above to the precut wood slices.

How to assemble this DIY wood slice wreath:

Now you want to take those wood slices and start to hot glue them to the wreath form.  Start by gluing them one by one next to each other until you have filled the wreath. 

A good tip is to take the wood slices and dry fit them before you start gluing them.  This way you can make sure they all fit.

The next step will be to glue the next layer of wood slices, overlapping the first layer of wood slices.

The next step is to add the burlap bow and fall foliage.  I chose a white foliage I found at the dollar store, score!   It was easy to cut a few pieces of the foliage off, and hot glued them in the middle of the wreath, splaying out from the center.

Then tie a burlap bow and glued it atop the foliage.  Once this was done, I also cut a piece of burlap and glued it to the back top.  This will provide you a way to hang the wood slice wreath.

  1. I love this, Sara. I would love to see this on my front door and it looks pretty straightforward to make. Pinning to make very soon! Visiting from Talk of the Town.

  2. There is something about a wood slice project that I cannot resist! I love how versatile your wreath is – and the foam core is so smart; I need to remember that for the future!

  3. I love all kinds of wreaths too and if I didn’t already have my husband overloaded with projects already I would be asking him to cut up some branches for me to make this one. Maybe next year. Great project and thank you for sharing it at #HomeMattersParty

  4. I have made several wood slice wreaths. We use cedar slices and use a clear coat of polyurathane on it to protect them. Not sure where I got the idea, but love making them.

    Is there a way I can add a picture to show you mine?
