45 Halloween Wreath Ideas to Make Before October That Will Wow Your Trick-or-Treaters

Skeleton Halloween Wreath

Skeletons offer a warm (or cold) welcome on this Halloween wreath. The figurines sit on a wheel of branches, with some of their arms raised and others laying on top to make them feel alive. The white and brown a nice pop of contrast against the black door, as well.

Woven Halloween Wreath

This Halloween wreath is budget-friendly, made entirely from Dollar Tree finds. Woven brown fabric is wrapped around in a circle, and set into loose ruffles for a soft, textural feel.

Mini gold pumpkins are scattered throughout, with classic motifs—like ribbons, a welcome sign, and a witch hat—set on top to complete the look.

Ribbon Halloween Wreath

Have a penchant for maximalism? This Halloween wreath features ribbons with various patterns, some polka dot and striped while others are mesh and plaid.

The patterns don’t necessarily blend together in a traditional sense; however, for a kitschy, fun holiday like Halloween, it certainly makes a playful statement.

Vintage-Inspired Halloween Wreath

A black and white palette sets the tone for this wreath. Traditional Halloween motifs, like black cats, witch hats, and skulls, adorn the surface.

Meanwhile, more whimsical patches—such as stars, moons, and crows—contribute to an eerie feel. A bingo card and old-timey clocks top it off with vintage flair.

Gourd Halloween Wreath

For an almost cartoonish look, this Halloween wreath features gourds with quizzical, silly faces. It starts with craft pumpkins that are decorated with acrylic paint.

The gourds are then glued onto an existing wreath, along with faux berries, set in various asymmetrical positions to give them character.

Witchy Halloween Wreath

This spooky wreath has a bright green witch at its center, with purple and orange eyeballs orbiting it in true spooky fashion.

Matching ribbons and florals, set in the same palette, protrude out the sides, adding extra volume to the wreath so it looks full and bountiful.

Bat Halloween Wreath

This feathery beauty has a pretty combination of pink, blue, and purple strands swirling around it, giving it a soft, whimsical feel.

A jet black rat sits inside it, while eyeballs, spiders, and violet bats flutter on its surface. Many of the creatures have glittery facades, adding a dose of magic.

Harvest Halloween Wreath

Leaning more into the autumnal spirit of Halloween as opposed to the spooky part of it, this wreath features a myriad of gourds, berries, and sunflowers on its surface. The botanicals are set in a sunset-themed palette, with gold, orange, and scarlet hues offering a warm, comforting welcome to the door.

Black Cat Halloween Wreath

A cat with a menacing expression is the centerpiece of this wreath, with orange eyes complemented by matching ribbons. Silver foil ribbons bring a punch of shine, in tandem with purple gourds and sparkly green ornaments scattered throughout.

Gold Halloween Wreath

Keeping things more simple, this wreath abounds with small gold ornaments—winking at the copper tones and shimmery elements often seen during Halloween. An orange ribbon flourishes the base for extra flair, though the rest is kept bare so the gold can shine.

Floral Halloween Wreath

When it comes to wreaths, you don’t always have to opt for a circle shape. This pick, for example, is set in a crescent moon silhouette—evoking the eerie night sky often associated with Halloween.

Several faux flowers are placed in the center, with branches peeking out for a natural, autumn theme. Glittering pumpkins and berries round out the look.

Gothic Halloween Wreath

Grapevine wreaths—which get their name from the pruned grapevines that they are made of—are a perfect vessel to tuck in Halloween decor. They can usually be DIYed or purchased at an affordable price point.

This one, for instance, is painted black with a witch standing in the center. Symmetrical branches and leaves adorn the sides, offering balance. Skulls and skeleton hands add spooky charm.

Mesh Halloween Wreath

Set in the classic Halloween palette of green, orange, and purple, this wreath is decked out in mesh for textural wonder.

Maximalist patterned ribbons are tucked in between, along with veiny eyeballs and shimmery ornaments to diversify the shapes. Spiders crawling on top subtly blend in for a surprise.

Pink Halloween Wreath

Halloween doesn’t have to be so scary. This wreath, for instance, features soft pink hues. Cartoon skeletons are topped with bows and hearts for a cute touch, while dragonfly motifs replace the traditional ghosts and bats you usually see. DIY felt flowers infuse textural depth and delicate dreaminess.

Clown Halloween Wreath

On the flip side, you can go all out with the scare. This wreath has a Joker-esque clown at its center, with glowing eyes and bloody teeth like a scene from a nightmare.

Black and white mesh ribbons surround it to soften the look, with blood-hued balloons poking out the top to provide cohesion—and a mysterious message.

Rose Halloween Wreath

Twisted branches—pruned from an overgrown hazel tree—swirl around this wreath, giving it an oversized, Whomping Willow look.

Mini cobwebs hang on the vines while feathers wrap around others, bringing in classic motifs and textural contrast. Orange roses add a pop of color at the base—rounding out the Halloween palette.

Minimalist Halloween Wreath

While many Halloween wreaths go over the top, it’s not a requirement. Case in point? This minimalist option, which is a set in simple white tulle fabric and a round silhouette.

A ribbon slices through the center, hanging through the open portion. Tiny bats adorn the surface and extend to the door for a touch of fantasy.

Striped Halloween Wreath

Ribbons steal the show with this wreath. Some feature a B&W diamond pattern while others showcase spiderweb designs, metallics, and solid hues.

A house is placed at the center with a haunting enter message, while a striped spider crawls on the top edge, playing into the maximalist look.

Colorful Halloween Wreath

Have some old Christmas wreaths on hand? You can always repurpose them for Halloween by adding a few personal touches.

This one has a friendly pumpkin face as the focal point, while witches and Frankenstein figurines are propped in between the ornaments.

It works because the original wreath’s palette isn’t traditionally Christmassy and instead features a variety of deeper hues that work for Halloween, too.

Ghost Halloween Wreath

Ghosts peek out the corners and crevices of this wreath for a pleasant welcome. Various ribbons cascade over the base, which is set in an oversized diamond shape as opposed to the usual circle.

This provides plenty of surface area to tuck in different elements, like florals, branches, and pumpkins for an abundant, festive feel.

Layered Halloween Wreath

Mesh ribbons with a gold sheen set the tone for this piece, with green berries and pinecones poking out for an earthy touch. A „Happy Halloween“ sign and floating gourds play into the theme.

Evergreen Halloween Wreath

This wreath is inspired by Halloween but still evergreen enough to work for any season. A drove of botanicals is stuffed onto the surface, from dried leaves and branches to dainty flowers and bountiful buds. It’s set in a warm palette of honey, terracotta, and creams for an elegant, autumnal theme.

Polka-Dot Halloween Wreath

A skeleton, painted an inky black, sits in the center of this wreath. The circle itself is quite thin, mimicking the boniness of the figurine inside.

Polka dot ribbons, cut into small sections, are wrapped around it to create a ruffled look, while a black bow on top wraps it up in a pretty package.

Character-Filled Halloween Wreath

All the classic Halloween figures encircle this wreath—bats, ghosts, pumpkins, and even hats as an ode to the witch.

The simple silhouettes and 2D look invokes a sense of nostalgia, while the minimalist palette keeps the design pared back. A friendly sign sits in the middle, with spiderwebs hiding in the font and spiders trickling down the edges.

Vibrant Halloween Wreath

What was a simple ribbon wreath gets a unique touch here with a witch creeping over the side. Her over-the-top hat is tall and lanky, made with patchwork to match the patterns of the ribbons. More memorable elements come in with Halloween-themed ice cream cones and fuzzy spiders.

Academia-core Halloween Wreath

A striking ghost is drenched in orange, dressed in a purple diamond suit, and given smart spectacles to bring this wreath to life.

The small details give the figure so much personality, as sweet treats and polka dot ribbons riff off his style, creating a cohesive aesthetic.

Green Halloween Wreath

A bright green witch character establishes the palette for this wreath, as verdant ribbons, felt spirals, and gourds give the wreath a three-dimensional effect.

Meanwhile, the witch’s bulging eyes and bubblegum pop establish the sphere motif, as seen in the oversized eyeballs and decorative balls surrounding her.

Autumnal Halloween Wreath

The burning scarlets and rich golds of fall foliage are on full display in this wreath. A combination of autumnal florals, leaves, and pinecones make it feel like a cornucopia of botanicals. Pumpkins and greenery offer contrast and additional charm.

Movie-Inspired Halloween Wreath

Taking notes from The Nightmare Before Christmas, this wreath doesn’t beat around the bush—showcasing the main character Jack Skellington at the base with his signature bat bowtie.

The rest of the wreath, made using a steering wheel cover for a thin silhouette, is crafted with simple striped fabric to let the character shine.

Spider Halloween Wreath

A cobweb cleverly acts as the center of this wreath, since it has a natural circular shape. Branches and dried vines drape over the edges, offering plenty of room for spiders to crawl over.

Note that there are different-sized spiders to diversify the look and add visual interest. A purple leaf arrangement at the base offers a respite of color.

Cobweb Halloween Wreath

Orb shapes never fail with wreaths, as shown with this wreath. Sparkly silver ornaments, along with glossy orange and matte metallic ones, are grouped together across the surface for a cohesive yet eye-catching look. Spiderweb-motif pumpkins and polka dot ribbons round out the spherical theme.

Haunted Mansion Halloween Wreath

The Hitchhiking Ghosts of Disney’s Haunted Mansion make an appearance on this wreath—and prove that movie-inspired wreaths don’t have to be painstaking to make.

Simply find the figurines and glue them onto an existing base. Then, add on your favorite accessories to complement them—like shimmery bats, purple ornaments, and mesh ribbon, as done here.

Rustic Halloween Wreath

A grapevine wreath, kept its natural woodsy hue, is adorned with berry-hued florals as well as classic faux leaves—playing into autumnal themes.

A skeleton sits in the middle, dressed in a spider-web motif bowtie and top hat—after all, it’s the small details that give a wreath personality. The bottom portion of the wreath is left naked for rustic style.

Bulbous Halloween Wreath

A pre-made wreath is zhuzhed up with additional ornaments, bulbs, and Halloween-themed berries to fill it up with volume.

Cobweb motifs appear in some of the ornaments, while others feature more timeless designs. Sequined spirals, owls, and witch hats add further character, while keeping with the black and orange palette.

Moody Halloween Wreath

Featuring moody hues of indigo, cherry, and charcoal, this wreath still maintains subtlety with its thin frame and silhouette. The grapevines are painted over in jet black, and most of it is kept open.

Just a small quarter of the circle is decorated in berry-hued florals, with mini eyeballs tucked in between for a creepy but cute aesthetic.

Kitschy Halloween Wreath

If you’re entertaining for kids, a wreath like this one does the trick. It features all the classic characters—like ghosts, spiders, and bats—which still have friendly faces so they aren’t too scary.

The orange-purple-green palette is another classic, featured in the polka dot and striped ribbons throughout.

Ornament Halloween Wreath

Again, take notes from Christmas wreaths—but swap out the colors for Halloween hues to make it on theme. This one is decked out in bulbous ornaments, from sparkly purple to smaller orange picks and even ones with cobwebs drawn on. The different sizes give the wreath contrast, while the eyeballs add a sinister touch.

Candycorn Halloween Wreath

Of course, you can’t forget about the Halloween sweet: candy corn! This cute woven wreath features a welcome sign with the candy replacing the „O.“

To match, candy corn-hued bows featuring the signature yellow, orange, and white tones are scattered over the fabric for a cohesive theme.

Wizardly Halloween Wreath

Evoking nostalgic shows like Wizards of Waverly Place, this wreath gives a „wicked welcome“ with its signature Halloween font, deep purple hues, and dangling gourds.

The wreath has emerald spiders and glittery pumpkins decorating the surface. Meanwhile, a rustic bow—made with woven tweed fabric—sits on top for a creepy feel.

Graveyard Halloween Wreath

A graveyard theme works wonders. This rectangular wreath features an ominous gravestone and skeletons, one standing and the other tied up in a bow. A faux fern background softens the B&W palette with its verdant features.

Romantic Halloween Wreath

A charcoal grapevine wreath is an easy canvas for this romantic piece, decorated in pink and white florals. The botanicals only span half of the wreath in an asymmetrical shape, creating movement. Gold accents also come through in the pumpkins and butterflies for extra whimsy.

Lights-Out Halloween Wreath

A velvet skull is the focal point for this wreath, with its sumptuous texture and deep purple hue instantly catching the eye. A skeleton hand creeps above it, while bows, pumpkins, and florals offer pretty contrast.

Another special feature? There are fairy lights wrapped around the entire wreath so it glows at night time.

Dark Halloween Wreath

Branches jut out of this gothic wreath, hung with a black ribbon for a shiny, luxe look. Berries also decorate the branches, set in the same inky hue to complement the rest of the palette.

Sweet Halloween Wreath

This oh-so-sweet wreath is dotted with felt flowers, candy corn, and pom poms, giving it an adorable kid-friendly design.

The wreath base itself is wrapped in lollipop motif fabric for extra cuteness (and an ode to trick-or-treating). It’s tied up with yarn at the top for further softness.

Floral Halloween Wreath

Purple and pink flowers soften this dark wreath. Lacy elements play into the femme fatale feel, while faux leaves embrace the autumnal spirit. A skeleton peeks out of the lace for a more literal ode to Halloween.
