ToggleSteps to Making Your Own Spring Wreath
If you want to save a few bucks and prefer to make your own wreath, here is a step-by-step guide to get you started!
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
First things first—you’ll need a few basic materials. Don’t overthink it. Here’s what you need:
✔ A wreath base (grapevine, wire, foam—totally your call)
✔ Faux flowers (or real ones if you’re feeling fancy, but faux is more durable)
✔ Greenery for that extra fullness
✔ Floral wire or hot glue gun (because we’re making sure this stays put)
✔ Scissors or wire cutters
✔ Ribbon, if you’re into that extra flair
Most of this stuff you can grab from a craft store or even a dollar store if you’re on a budget (understandable, times are tough).
I’ve even repurposed an old wreath before— just stripped off the decorations and started fresh. No shame in a little DIY recycling!
Step 2: Fluff and Prep Your Flowers
If you’re using faux flowers, here’s a little trick: fluff them up first.
A lot of artificial flowers get packed down in stores, so just gently pull the petals apart and bend the stems so they look more natural.
If you’re using real flowers, trim the stems so they’re easier to work with.
And don’t forget the greenery! A mix of leaves, ferns, or even eucalyptus can give your wreath a fuller, more polished look.
Step 3: Attach Your Greenery First
Before you start going wild with the flowers, layer in the greenery as your base.
Wrap the stems around your wreath form and secure them with floral wire or hot glue.
This makes everything look fuller and gives your flowers something to nestle into instead of looking like they’re just floating there.
Think of it like building a salad—you start with the leafy stuff before adding the toppings.
Step 4: Add Your Flowers (The Fun Part!)
Now for the star of the show: the flowers! Start with your biggest blooms first and space them out evenly.
This keeps things balanced and prevents one side from looking like it’s carrying all the weight.
Once you have the big flowers in place, fill in the gaps with smaller flowers or accent pieces.
Don’t be afraid to step back every now and then to see how it’s coming together.
And remember, less is more—you don’t need to cover every inch. A little breathing room makes the whole thing look more natural.
Step 5: Secure Everything Like Your Life Depends on It
Okay, maybe not that dramatic, but seriously—secure everything well.
If you’re using a grapevine wreath, you can usually just tuck the stems in and wrap them with floral wire.
If you went with a foam or wire base, hot glue will be your best friend.
Give the wreath a little shake (gently, of course) to make sure nothing’s going to fall off the second a breeze hits it.
Step 6: Add a Bow or Extra Details (If You Want!)
Totally optional, but if you love a good bow, now’s the time to add one. Go for a simple satin ribbon, burlap for a rustic feel, or even something patterned to match your flowers.
You can also throw in some little extras—tiny butterflies, faux berries, or even a wooden welcome sign.
Step 7: Hang It Up and Admire Your Work
And just like that, you did it! Find the perfect spot on your front door (or even inside if you want to add some spring vibes to your home).
Step back, admire, and maybe even snap a pic to show off on Instagram—because you deserve to show off your creativity and DIY skills. (Trust me, you will be so proud of yourself after this fun project)
