I am a big fan of copper décor. I used to love having copper elements in my home. I had a very "industrial" phase of décor (don't we all go through these phases?! lol), and I feel like this unique and pretty DIY copper pipe fall wreath is a nod back to those creative days.

I had the idea to make a wreath out of copper pipe way back when I was working on DIY copper pipe fall wreath hanging on a door.

This industrial wreath is the perfect colour for the fall. You don't have to do anything to the copper to protect it and it will naturally patina beautifully! I love the rich metallic colour, but I especially love it against the white door.

Everything You Need to Make This Industrial Wreath

All of the tools for any copper project can be found in your local hardware store, in the plumbing section. People don't typically use copper for DIY projects, but I love how versatile it is.

Materials Needed to Make a Copper Pipe Wreath

  • ¾ Inch x 3 Foot Straight Length Copper Pipe (x2)
  • ¾ Inch Copper Fitting 90 Degree Elbow (x4)
  • Creating the frame for the DIY copper pipe fall wreath.

    How to Make a Copper Pipe Wreath

    Forming the Copper Base

    The hardest part about making this wreath is forming the base with the copper pipe. I used a Artificial flowers for the DIY copper pipe fall wreath.

    Adding Florals and Greenery to Your Wreath

    Once the glue is dry, you can add your fall florals to the industrial wreath. I searched through my craft supplies for some fall foliage that I could add and loved the way that they yellow and red popped against the copper.

    I used a hot glue gun to add everything. You just have to be strategic about where you put the glue so that it doesn't ruin the leaves, and still looks as natural as possible.

    Add the greenery first, as a base. When they were set, I played around with the placement of my leaves and florals until I was happy. I glued the leaves down first and the florals last.

    I had to be careful not to use too much greenery or it would have weighed down the wreath too much on one side. Luckily the ones I chose were fairly light and I could still place them a bit unevenly.

    The final step is to add some ribbon to your new wreath. I kept with the fall theme and added some shiny brown ribbon to pop against our white door. We had a hook on our door, but if you don't have one, you can hang your wreaths with command hooks too!

    It's been hanging on our door ever since I finished it, and it has definitely caught the eye of all of our guests! We've had so many compliments on our industrial wreath!

    I like it so much, I'm trying to envision a winter version now, with pine branches and some red berries... I can see it already! Hope you like it too!
