Fall is upon us, and if you’re the creative type, it’s the perfect time to make your own fall wreath. At Abriola Parkview Funeral Home in Trumbull, CT, they know the right seasonal decoration can add a sense of comfort to any room — and a fun DIY craft or hobby is often a good way to handle grief. The team at this funeral home has comforted people throughout the area by providing reliable grief counseling and funeral planning services. They emphasize appreciating the little things in life, even something as simple as making a homemade decoration in honor of the season.

If you’re interested in designing a fall wreath this time of year, the staff at this funeral home recommends the following project ideas:

  • Corn Husk Door Wreath: This design is simple to make, and the results are stunning. Get a flat-wire frame the size and dimensions of your door frame and use a hot glue gun to adhere corn husks and cobs to it in any pattern you wish. You can use it to add a charming outline to your front door this autumn.
  • funeral homeApple Wreath: Fall and apples are immediately linked together in many people’s minds. For a craft project that’s perfect for the season, get a styrofoam wreath and cover it with strips of burlap. Next, glue some decorative fake apples to the styrofoam until it’s entirely covered. All of the necessary tools can be found at most arts and crafts stores.
  • Pinecone Wreath: If you’re looking for an easy DIY wreath that can impress, a pinecone wreath is a perfect answer. Buy some ribbon (choose any color that catches your eye — perhaps fall colors?), use a hot glue gun to apply the pinecones to it, and tie a knot at the ends so you can hang it from your door.

At Abriola Parkview Funeral Home, they believe activities like crafting, when combined with any necessary grief counseling, can make it easier to cope with the passing of a loved one.
