DIY: Spring Wreath for as little as $11!
I love spring! Donβt you?
Spring is my favorite season because the weather is breezy, cool, but not cold and warm, but not hot, itβs just perfect!
Now that we are in SC, Iβm looking forward to our first Spring here because now that we have our own home, I can DIY all kinds of things and horde them for repeated use. Hahaha.
Living in the south-east has taught me that people love wreaths for every occasion. Which I so happen to love! π What I donβt love is that they are super pricey the bigger they get.
So of course, now I have to make my own because while I do not want to spend $50+ on a seasonal wreath, I do want to have one!
I took a trip to Michaelβs to see their flower selection as well as their pricing. Not quite in the priceΒ range I wanted, but I did find the wreath loop fairly cheap.
Next, I took a trip to Dollar Tree and checked out their floral selection. Not quite as extensive as Michaelβs but it was in my price range and they had the type of flowers I wanted.
Hereβs the complete list of things I purchased:
- 3 bouquets of Peonies
- 3 Bouquets of Carnations
- 1 Bouquet of Babyβs Breath
- 18in Metal Wreath Loop
This is literally the easiest DIY, it only took 3 steps to get done!
First; Cut the flower stems at the lowest point of attachment. I did not want to use extra wire, so the longer the stem, the more wrapping power I got.
Second; Decide which flowers are going where. Like when I DIY the Mantle Garland, I liked planning where the flowers would go so that I wouldnβt have to wrap and unwrap if I wanted to make changes. Also, this helps make sure you have enough.
Third; Wrap the flowers on the wreath loop!
And you are done!
Seriously, this is the easiest DIY I have ever done and Iβm sure you will think so too!
The best part is I only spent $11 for everything! <- This is what keeps my DIY flame burning! lol
What kinds of flowers are your favorite? Have you or will you be making your own wreath?
This is such a cute idea!
Thank you!

OMG, thank you! I love crafting and hearing that it’s good makes me want to do more! π

I love it when you can find something super cute, affordable, and easy to do! This is a great wreath. I definitely need to spruce up my porch for spring.

Thank you! Same here! I’m trying to think what else I can make because I already have flowers on shelves lol

These are gorgeous! How do you wrap the stem without breakage?!
Thank you! and I try not to bend too much or wrap too tight, just enough that it stays in place π
The wreath looks fantastic against your dark door. We always need quick and easy decor. Thank you.
Thank you! π
This is so beautiful! I don’t do DIY crafts much, but I have been wanting a little bit more spring time decor around my house. will have to try this out. thx
I don’t do a lot of DIY either, I think I like the idea more than actually doing it! lol But sometimes you just have to!
So cute and such a great idea π

It literally was the easiest DIY I’ve done! and it only took a few minutes! π
Super pretty. Spring might come someday here in NH. Do you think daffodils would be too fragile for this?
I think daffodils would look absolutely pretty! As long as they have wire stem, they should be fine!
Love the pretty pink of this!!
I know right! I love how light and bright it looks π
So beautiful. I think this will be so easy that my daughters can even help with it.
Yes! It would be a great project to share with your girls!
