Pick up a pack of coffee filters at your local dollar store, or recycle used filters for some natural dappled coloring, and make your own deceptively simple filter wreath. This intricate ruffled look is an extremely easy DIY, and then just add whichever flowers, sprigs, or organic autumn details that appeal to your artistic autumn senses.

So simple, but incredibly bold, this wreath is as au natural a look as it gets. You can't even tell that there's a foam wreath ring underneath all of that exciting and interesting pinecone action. If you're aiming for non-kitschy and understated yet festive, this no-fuss design, combined with a rustic burlap and ribbon sash, can do no wrong.

3. Inviting Burlap

Instead of a charming frilly and rustic burlap wreath, this design is more shabby-chic, incorporating wrapped burlap, faux fall flowers and leaves, and an inviting chalk board sign. It practically sings "welcome" with its clean, sweet simplicity.

4. Felt Leaves

You know how they say, the best art imitates life? Well, turns out they were right! A festive nest of sticks and leaves, accompanied by a bucket full of bright and yummy looking produce, creates an excellent fall feature piece. Plastic leaves and veggies let this design stay bright and vibrant all autumn long.

6. Bold Weave

Few people think of multicolored burlap, but this design proves that more people should! Bright burlap maintains its rustic appeal, but adds a modern, attractive twist on the neutral barnyard style.
