DIY Color Wrapped Wheat (Fall Decor):
It’s a simple and easy project, but it’s a beautiful way to add interest and a splash of color to your Thanksgiving table. And don’t worry, even if you’re not hosting the holiday feast, you can still whip up a few of these to decorate your space.
I used mine in a bunch as a centerpiece on my dining room table. It’s beautiful, right? A touch of tradition with a modern and colorful twist.
I also shortened a few of the bunches to decorate place settings.
It’s a pretty way to tie everything together.
These could even double as place cards by attaching a tag to them with your guest’s name.
And, if you’re willing to give them up, your guests could take them home as a little favor.
Let me show you how easy they are to make.
How to Make this DIY Wrapped Color Week:
For this project, you will need dried wheat stalks, embroidery floss (in any color you’d like), and a pair of scissors. Yep, that’s it.
You can buy dried wheat stalks HERE or HERE.
You will want to start off with a few stalks of wheat. I prefer sticking with an odd number so I made some with five stalks and some with seven stalks.
Bunch the wheat together near the top, wrap around once with the embroidery floss, and tie a knot to hold everything in place.
Then, start to wrap the embroidery floss around the stalks. I found it easiest to spin the wheat to wrap the floss rather than spinning my hand around the wheat.
Cover about 2 inches of the stalks with the floss and then tie another knot to hold everything in place.
That’s it!
If you’re putting them in a vase like I did here, you can trim the bottom of the stems so they are all the same length.
I like using a clear glass vase because the wheat is so pretty on its own. (You can check out how I made the gold and burlap runner here.)
To use the wrapped wheat on my place settings, I just trimmed the stalks so they’re really short.
The wheat would also look great tied on a package or a gift. Another possibility is to tuck one or two in a live flower arrangement for a little touch of harvest.
That’s it for today. I hope you enjoyed this simple, yet beautiful DIY.
I have come up with several business ideas, you can start with a price of $100 or less. I am particularly interested in the idea of ClickBank electronic products because it is closely related to my field of expertise. So glad I found this article. Thanks again.Sir Great
I just love your website. you’re doing great job dear. I am happy for you.
Hello
Maybe with toothpicks? And at the end of the party you just slice the wreath and each guest takes a slice home? It’s just that I hate wasting food, plus cranberries, if I manage to find any fresh ones, are horribly expensive in France…
Keep you up, admin. One day you will succeed.
I love how you have added a touch of colour, it looks so effective!!
Very pretty style. I will try to make this kind of craft…

Splendid! I had never seen something like this. Complete original idea <3
I would really like to know where you purchased the wheat or did you actually hand pick it? Thank you
I found mine at Crate & Barrel, but you can find it at most craft stores or even on Amazon.

Your wheat looks like barley to me :-).
🙂
i was thinking this would be lovely in bridal colors for a shower. i realize it is no longer fashionable to wish fruitful life to a new couple…but there is more to fruitfulness than children.
So cute and simple! Thank you for sharing this idea. =) Now I just have to get my hands on some wheat stalks here in Hawaii!
