Spring into Creativity: 10 DIY Wreaths to Welcome the Season

It’s almost time for spring, when we clean away the mud and muck of winter and freshen up our homes and hearts for the new season! In this roundup post, I’ve collected a whole bunch of my DIY spring wreaths for you to choose from. They are all simple, budget-friendly, and can be made in a jiffy! So, take a look at what I have to offer and choose your favourite to bring some seasonal cheer to your own front door. 

How do you make a spring wreath for beginners?

Just in case you’re not convinced this craft is for you, let me assure you that it is! Creating a wreath of any kind really only requires a few basic supplies: 

• A wreath form
• Embellishments
• Hot glue or floral wire (or both)
• Your imagination!

In the descriptions that follow, I’m going to give you different ideas and combinations of wreath forms and embellishments that you can put together on your own. So, whether you want a quick-and-easy-to-assemble idea (one of them doesn’t even require hot glue!) or want a more intensive DIY project, I’ve got you covered! 

What kind of flowers do you put on a spring wreath?

I love flowers! It doesn’t matter what season it is, I always crave elements of nature in my decor.  Flowers offer the perfect pop of color and texture. You can use:

• Silk flowers
• Dried flowers
• Fabric flowers
• Paper flowers, such as peonies, succulents or roses
• Pampas grass
• Fresh flowers

DIY Springtime Lavender Wreath Tutorial

If you can wield a glue gun, you can definitely make this easy wreath! Lavender wreaths are a beautiful way to decorate your home for any season.  Lavender is such a gorgeous shade of purple and you could easily intersperse other faux flowers for a specific look you have in mind. This simple lavender wreath with faux lavender is perfect for your front door or mantel decor. Get yourself a grapevine wreath form at Michaels, some faux lavender from Amazon, and my simple instructions and get creating! 

French Country DIY Floral Wreath

This DIY floral wreath is simple to make and perfect for spring French country farmhouse decor! Basically, all you’ll need is a plain faux boxwood wreath and a handful of your favourite faux florals and greenery. I chose pinks and blues that I had on hand (I am a sucker for peonies), but use whatever brings you joy! Starting with the largest florals, just stick their stems directly into your boxwood wreath and work your way around the wreath until you’re satisfied with the result. Fill in the spaces with the smaller stems and greenery too (I think my faux eucalyptus was a perfect touch). Because there is no gluing or wiring involved, I almost hesitate to call this a craft. It’s so easy and affordable. Gather up your favourite French country inspired florals and get making this gorgeous DIY wreath today!

Hoop Wreath with DIY Fabric Flowers

There’s no hiding that I’m a huge fan of anything with flowers on it, and this cute little hoop wreath is no exception. I used an embroidery hoop, ribbon, faux greenery and gorgeous DIY fabric peonies (that you can make too!). I’m so happy with the result. I love how the green-blue of the hoop contrasts with the peach-pink of my fabric peonies. So, gather your fabric scraps and other supplies and then download my FREE peony petal pattern and get cutting and gluing! This chic little DIY wreath is sure to brighten up your door in a beautiful way this spring. 

Spring Hoop Wreath with Macramé Magic

Learn how to make a beautiful spring hoop wreath for your home, customized just for you and your style! All you need is a metal hoop wreath, some macrame cord, and embellishments of your choice to make this gorgeous addition to your seasonal decor.  Faux succulents were my choice of embellishment, but for a more country/romantic version of this wreath tie a mix of macrame cord and cotton lace trim to the base of your covered hoop with lark’s heads knots and use faux peonies instead. The sky’s the limit, really! This is a wonderful option for a beginner macrame artist, and the result is a beautiful and unique wreath that is sure to be a conversation starter.

DIY Romantic Wreath with Pampas Grass and Faux Spring Blooms

Admittedly, I created this romantic wreath for the fall. But faux pampas grass is perfect for any season with a few tweaks and changes! Switch the olive branches for spring greenery and change out the pumpkins and roses for butterflies and faux spring blooms and turn it into a sweet tulip wreath instead! The pampas grass is soft and neutral with lots of texture no matter what other embellishments you choose. Get my step by step instructions and make one to display on your front door this springy season!

How to make a Dried Flower Wreath

A dried floral wreath is such a beautiful, organic decor element for any season (including spring), and you can easily save money by making one yourself! I think using dried florals is one of my best DIY spring wreath ideas because this embellishment is so versatile. All you have to do is choose colours and flowers that work for spring and let your creativity run wild! I used a bundle of florals I found at HomeSense, but you can look at any crafting store or even Amazon for something that strikes your fancy. Gather your florals, a grapevine wreath, some floral wire and my instructions and get crafting! 

How to Make an Easy DIY Succulent Wreath with Paper

Succulents add a touch of freshness to any room, don’t you think? If you’ve never thought of incorporating them into a spring wreath design, think again! Maybe you’ve heard of a paper flower wreath, but what about paper succulents? In this post, I’m going to show you how to use paper and your Cricut machine to create your own DIY succulent wreath. Because these succulents are made of paper, you can store this wreath easily and use it again and again. And if you’re looking for wedding or shower decor, this would also be a lovely addition! Especially since you can make your paper succulents any color your heart desires to go with any colour scheme you choose.  I hope you enjoy this fun tutorial. 

Easter Eggstravaganza: DIY Dollar Store Wreath for Springtime Cheer

Many of us here celebrate Easter, and the colours and general vibe of this holiday feel oh-so springy to me! So, as part of my spring wreath roundup, I’m including this fun little Easter-inspired eggy wreath. This is one of my favourite wreaths for Easter! Everything I used to make it came from the dollar store: the wire wreath form, the moss, the plastic speckled eggs, the ribbon and yarn, and the birdhouse ornament too. All you need are these supplies and a little hot glue magic to make this gorgeous piece of spring decor happen! For extra magic, pop this wreath on your mantel on Easter Sunday and tell the kiddos it was a gift from the Easter bunny! That’s sure to bring extra smiles.

Make a Spring Grapevine Wreath with Fabric Flowers

If you haven’t got the idea already, I love fabric flowers. I’ve been using DIY fabric flowers for years as wedding bouquet flowers, decorations around the house, and to decorate my children too! I was pretty sure they would look gorgeous on a wreath as well, and I was right. So, in this video tutorial, I’m sharing how I took an oval grapevine wreath, my fabric roses, and some other whimsical supplies like pieces of a feather boa, pussy willows, greenery, and a tiny flag banner to create a perfect front porch wreath for spring. 

DIY Fabric Flower Heart Wreath for Springtime Charm

Guess what? More fabric flower ideas! This time my inspiration was a grapevine heart wreath base I found at a craft sale years ago. I added some faux fabric peonies, lambs ear, and small white floral picks on either side of the peony bunch using a bit of hot glue. That’s it! This wreath is such a simple yet beautiful idea that only takes a few supplies and minutes of your time. 

And there you have it! A whole bunch of different ideas that will all add a pop of color and a bit of spring cheer to your front door or mantel. I hope you found something here that inspires you, and I would love to see whatever you create! Post a pic in the comments or tag me @thediymommy.
