DIY Spring Wreath
Putting together a wreath is fun and not at all hard! The hard part is picking out your flowers, after that… easy peasy! Here, let me show you!
HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED:
1. Hot Glue Gun and Hot Glue Sticks
3. Your Choice of Dried Flowers
4. Wire Cutters
STEP 1
Come up with a plan! This might include your color schemes, favorite greens and flowers..etc.. As soon as I saw those light pink peonies, I knew I had to have them! After that, I just picked a few flowers that would accent the peonies and our bright red door. Lastly I chose the greenery. I went for a more tropical organic look! All of the greenery I picked we have in some live form in our yard!
STEP 2
Next I started to lay out a pattern. I didn’t glue anything yet. I just set things in place to see if they would work! After I got a good idea of what I wanted the wreath to look like, I cut all the stems so I’d be ready to glue!
STEP 3
Now that I had all my pieces cut, I put a dot of hot glue on the stems and one by one placed them in the wreath! Don’t be nervous, you can move them around while the glue is still hot, so just go for it!
I started with the darkest greens first and then layered in the lighter leaves, and lastly the filler flowers.
STEP 4
Next, I placed my statement flowers, the pink peonies. I wanted their placement to seem natural as well, so I altered the angle of each one as I fastened them in.
STEP 5
Lastly, it was time for the ribbon! I thought rather than a bow or leaving it plain, it could be fun to have the wreath hung by a ribbon. The wreath itself is on the door fastened with a suction, cup but I think the ribbon adds a little extra pizzaz to the whole thing!
I absolutely love the way it turned out. You’ll have to try this one out, and if you need more ideas… here’s the Fall wreath you can bookmark for September. I’m telling you, I might get into the wreath making business, it’s so fun!
