I purchased all my materials at Michaels.- They were having a big sale, and I was
lucky to find a few items on clearance.
If you want to make an easy springtime wreath, and this is maybe even your first time creating a wreath... here are some very simple steps.
Below, you will find some easy do-it-yourself instructions on making your very own wreath.
Materials Needed
You will need:
1 wreath. - Any size of your choice.
I am using a grapevine wreath.
Optional letters and butterfly clip
Wire cutter.- If you chose flowers with wires in them, you'll probably want to use this to cut them when preparing them to be placed in your wreath.
Here's what you'll want to do:
1. Start by clipping your flowers.
Be sure when you clip them that you have some that are a bit longer and some that are short. This will help when you start to arrange your flowers within your wreath.
2. Next, you'll want to arrange each flower on your wreath.
2. Next, you'll want to arrange each flower on your wreath.
Take your flowers, and insert them into your wreath. You can use a thin wire if you want to make sure your flowers don't fall out. I noticed that just using my flowers and bending them helped keep them inside the wreath.
3. Get creative!

I added one single letter to my wreath. I actually just purchased a wooden letter and painted it white.- You could also do this, or you can skip that step. If you're able to find any butterflies, birds, or other decorative items for your wreath, feel free and add them to your wreath.
(And as far as adding a letter on your wreath; you can either glue it on, or use wire, or string to attach your wooden letter). I used some strings. This way, I can take my letter off if I choose to change it out.
You're pretty much all done! Now, all that's left to do is to hang it up and enjoy!
We also worked on a mini wreath for my daughter. She wanted one on her room door.- And we used the same steps above when creating this wreath. The only thing that is different is that we used some twine ribbon.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteI love it! That's one of the biggest problems living here in Hawaii no arts and crafts stores. I mean not even the dollar store. I would love to get some nice wreaths and make them myself but I can't. :(
ReplyDeleteAw, Dina...
DeleteI know you would.
But, you do have beaches, and beautiful weather! ;)
So pretty. Love grapevine wreaths. Your added touches like the butterfly makes it even prettier! Thanks so much for linking up at #IMadeItMondayLinkParty 5. Shared.
