Designing and creating on a simple budget.

DIY Whimsical Spring Wreath

February 27, 2018 Tutorials

I will show you how to make this gorgeous DIY whimsical spring wreath!

Hello friends! I am kicking off spring (although the ground has been covered off and on again with snow, lol) with a DIY whimsical wreath! I’ve joined up again with Krista at The Happy Housie to share these fun seasonal ideas as part of the Seasonal Simplicity Spring Series. Clearly, spring is on my mind so there was no twisting my arm to share a wreath all dressed up for the upcoming season.

This is truly a simple project and is perfect for a door, fireplace or wall in your home. When I was trying to decide how I wanted to construct it, I happened to be shopping at Michaels Craft Store. I was inspired by all their faux florals and wreaths they had there! I chose to make mine with certain colors and foliage which makes it a fun customizable craft to do.

Here is how you can make this lush whimsical wreath too…

The wreath with a hot glue un, and the greenery ready to go on the counter.

  • A grapevine wreath, any will do… but I chose the fanned branch style and it makes adhering all the florals pretty easy.
  • Faux florals and or branches, leaves, etc…
  • Wire snips
  • Glue gun and glue sticks
  • Floral wire (I didn’t use this, but it may be helpful if needed in addition to the glue).

Green foliage on the table, laid out.

First carefully snip the florals. I kept the woodland ferns and foliage differing lengths, but also made sure to have the first layer of greenery be mostly long enough to cover the grapevines.

Laying the green branches out in a clockwise direction on the table.

Lay out the branches following the movement of the wreath, clockwise. Get a layout ready and done before you permanently glue as this will give you a chance to make any necessary changes. Apply glue to the back side of branches and stems. You will make to sure each piece is nice and adhered, therefore it will require quite a bit of glue ;)…

Gluing the greenery together to form the wreath.

As shown above, you can work by gluing sections with some of the longer pieces. Gluing the base first, adhering and then work to the top.

Putting the leaves on the wreath.

Again, always lay out the layers before gluing so you can see how you want it to flow. Then do another round of gluing.

The ferns glued onto the wreath.

Finish off with shorter stems and insert bulkier ferns, florals etc… I wanted to have some lovely fresh succulents scattered throughout, so that was my last step for the entire process.

And there you have it! I promptly stuck mine outside on our front door with coordinating ferns on each side.

It really isn’t quite spring here yet, but it doesn’t hurt to dream and anticipate all the beauty that is on the way!

I plan to keep this botanical beauty up here for months to come, even though snow is possibly coming this week!

I hope this may inspire you to try some fresh springy projects as the season is right around the corner!

    Adding ferns and a succulent. Probably my favorite parts of this wreath. It just feels so organic and even unexpected. Thanks for the inspiration.

This could be a project that would be easily done with inexpensive pieces and makes a big impact for your outdoor space. Speaking of outdoor spaces, I shared ours all ready for summer up on the blog along with my friends. Come check it out if you need some easy ideas!

One of my new favorite tips comes from these 100% Cotton Turkish towels we were gifted from @theloomia! Not only are they pretty, they are large, but save space at the same time...

And this hallway is finally done 🎉! Here is a little before and after... The board and batten design is from @anitayokota after I saw how she used it in her pretty bedroom I knew this would put a fun modern spin in the hallway. Some fresh paint, an affordable vintage rug and updated lighting completed this long dark space. Covering popcorn ceilings will come next, but I hope this shows how a little trim and paint go a long way when working on spaces! 🌿

Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out dressed sorta matching this morning 😂 This girl knows what she likes and asked to have her pink room transformed with blue... And you know when you give a mouse a cookie... 🍪 (Clearly I am the mouse 🐭 in this story 🤣) We finished up the new bead-board wall (I have trim touch up to do still) and then we are finishing spraying her little desk this afternoon. A couple vintage pieces are on the way, but otherwise I have been shopping the house for this little makeover. It’s all still in progress, but getting closer! And you all... This room is small!! So I am going to share how we tackle storage in this space so stay tuned in stories... 💕
Ever since I was little I can remember my dad tell Ever since I was little I can remember my dad telling me (who is a contractor/designer) the importance of using 3’s 💕. Now as I have made our own home, I almost always use the rule of 3’s whenever I am decorating. That goes for coffee tables, nightstands and more... I’m talking all about it and showing you some examples in stories today! And even more fun is that @boutiquerugs is offering 60% off with the code - ZEVYJOY60 ! This is the new rug we added from their collection to our bedroom here! So enjoy and have fun looking around at all their pretty selections... #boutiquerugspartner
You all know how I feel about pillows by now, don’t you?! 😂 Well in case you don’t... I think they are the best! They pull a space together affordably and make things cozy of course! You can trade them out or just keep adding to them (which is what I like to do 😉). And let’s face it, you can never have too many... Am I right? They are your artistic canvas in home decor and in my opinion there aren’t many rules to follow in the fun of mixing and matching them either! 🌿
Best of all, I’ve teamed up with 7 talented accounts to share how we used pillows to style our spaces. Head on over and check out what they’ve done... @thegingerhome
