Autumn Hoop Wreath with Fruit Accents and Shiplap Frame

This modern fall hoop wreath with faux fruit and a shiplap background is a fresh take on traditional autumn wreaths. Gather your tools and let’s make one!

Hi friends—now is the perfect time to start planning and crafting fall decor. Even if it’s still warm outside, building seasonal pieces ahead of time makes the transition easier and fun. I enjoy creating a new wreath for each season, and this year I wanted to try a few modern twists.

This design combines three elements I love: faux fruit, a minimalist hoop wreath, and a framed “shiplap” board as a backdrop. The result is lightweight, budget-friendly, and full of texture and color—perfect for welcoming fall into your home.

I began by choosing faux peach stems for their warm orange tones, pairing them with deep purple berry stems and green faux pears and artichokes. While peaches are more of a late-summer fruit, their color works beautifully in a fall palette, and the combination creates a subtle harvest feel.

How to Make a Fall Hoop Wreath

This hoop-style wreath is quick to assemble and uses fewer stems than a full foliage wreath, which saves time and money. Follow these simple steps to create a modern, framed fall wreath with faux fruit.

1. Gather your supplies

Gather the supplies for your fall wreath with faux fruit!

Collect your frame, hoop or metal ring, spray paint if you’re changing the ring’s color, faux floral and fruit stems, and tools like a hot glue gun, floral wire, and wire cutters. Having everything organized before you start will speed the process.

2. Spray-paint the wreath form

If you want a cohesive look, spray-paint the hoop before attaching anything. Metallic colors, like copper or bronze, work beautifully for fall and add a polished touch. Allow the paint to dry completely before proceeding.

3. Attach the stems and fruit to the hoop

Attach the floral and fruit stems to the wreath hoop.

Start with the stems at the outer bottom of the hoop and build upward and inward. Secure each stem with floral wire in a few spots, then add a dab of hot glue to lock the wire and stem to the ring so nothing shifts when you lift the wreath.

For larger faux fruit, thread floral wire through the base or back of the piece (many are styrofoam-based and accept wire easily), position it on the hoop, and secure with hot glue. Reinforce as needed for balance and stability.

4. Add a burlap bow to conceal the center

Add a burlap bow to the center of the hoop wreath to cover up all of the stems and floral wire in the middle!

A burlap bow or a small cluster of foliage hides the wired, glued center and adds rustic texture. Attach it securely with wire and hot glue so it stays in place when the wreath is moved.

5. Draw shiplap lines on the frame

Draw "shiplap" lines on the framed board with a pencil and a scrap piece of wood!

Create a simple shiplap effect by marking horizontal lines across the framed board with a pencil and a scrap piece of wood as a guide. This inexpensive detail gives the backdrop more dimension and farmhouse charm.

6. Hang the wreath on the framed board

Hang the gorgeous fall fruit wreath on the framed "shiplap" board!

Nail a small nail just under the frame lip and hang the wreath. If the wreath is one-sided and pulls to one direction, add a second small nail slightly to the side to keep it level. Adjust the placement until the overall composition looks balanced.

And that’s it—your framed shiplap hoop wreath is ready to display. This style is versatile: swap colors, fruit, or ribbon to match your home decor or create seasonal variations for Halloween, Thanksgiving, or late-summer displays.

I hope this tutorial inspires you to try a modern hoop wreath with faux fruit and a shiplap backdrop. If you make one, I’d love to hear about your color choices and any tweaks you made. Share a photo or leave a comment to let me know how it turned out!
