A DIY antler wreath is perfect for the winter months. The combination of faux antlers, feathers, and pine cones gives this rustic front door decor a seasonal flare. If you are a rustic decor lover, this DIY antler wreath is definitely for you!
This post was a part of my paid design team status at Consumer Crafts but I thought I would post it here in case y’all missed it.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I love wreaths! There’s something about adorning your front door with a beautiful Christmas wreath that completes your seasonal decor. Get your supplies and make your own in just minutes! This is a super quick project that will look great on your door this winter season.
This wreath is very similar to my knock-off Pottery Barn Faux Antler Wreath. If you love wreaths as much as I do, be sure to check out these wreaths, too: Winter Wonderland Wreath, Country Style Christmas Wreath, and this Snowman Wreath. These are the perfect solutions for Farmhouse front porch Christmas decor!
I love this wreath because you can customize it to your own style. This starts with an artificial pine wreath, pine cones, feathers and faux deer antlers. If you have other items you would like to add, feel free. Try frosting the pine cones with some white spray paint, or incorporate holly berries to add some color! All you have to do is work with the arrangement until you are satisfied.
If you love this wreath but don’t want to buy the antlers, you can make these antlers from clay with a few easy steps.

Supplies needed to make your own DIY antler wreath:
Links are affiliate links.
- 24 inch Pine Wreath
- Resin Faux Deer Antlers (3 required)
- Snow Tipped Pine Cones (8 required) (You can also use pine cones from your yard for this craft but be sure to kill everything in them by baking them using this method.)
- Guinea Pheasant Feathers
- Almond Pheasant Feathers
- Heart Pheasant Feathers
- Floral Wire
- Hot Glue and Glue Gun
Antler Wreath Instructions
My wreath was really smashed from shipping so the first thing I did was to reshape the wreath.
I then wired on the deer antlers using some floral wire. I used two pieces of floral wire per antler.
I then used the wire that was on the pine cones to wire those into place. I ended up using eight of the pine cones. Everything was placed randomly around the wreath.
I then gathered up random bunches of all three types of feathers. I used hot glue to secure them in place randomly around the wreath. I ended up using almost the entire package of all three types of feathers.
Fill in your wreath with the feathers until you are happy with the arrangement. Then just hang it on your door for a gorgeous rustic addition to your decor this winter.
TIP: Try removing any glue strings from the hot glue with a hair dryer.

This is really neat! I have loved seeing antlers become a big decorating trend recently, especially during Christmas. This is a really cute and different way to use them for any season. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve seen “ready made” antler wreaths that were super expensive and not nearly as nice as the one you made! Thanks for the tips on how to create this on our own – will have to give it a try.
This is so awesome! My husband would love this. Thank you for sharing on Love the Everyday!
I love this! It’s perfect for those winter months after Christmas.
What a cute idea for the winter months! I just love it! Thanks so much for sharing at Celebrate it!
What an amazing wreath! Thanks for sharing it with us at Inspire Me Monday at Create With Joy. You are one of our Featured Guests this week! #212
Love the antler wreath, and I have my own antlers from deer my husband, son, and/or neighbor shot. Love the pine cones with the “snow” on them. What a fresh, clean, wintry look.
