Happy Tuesday lovelies! I hope everyone had a wonderful start to their week after a great weekend.
I woke up Sunday, March 1st, and immediately felt the urge to do all things SPRING. I wanted plants, flowers, spring decor, you name it. So Jordan and I went out and spent the day getting all sorts of spring decor and flowers to make the apartment into a springtime paradise!
One thing we didn’t get however was a spring wreath. I normally like to make my own wreaths because I’m SUPER picky when it comes to wreaths, not to mention they are expensiveeeee. All of the wreaths I found both in stores and online that I REALLY liked were anywhere from $60-$80!
Well let me just say there was NO WAY I was going to pay that just for a wreath!
So I decided I might as well give it a stab and try to make my own and I was SO HAPPY with how it turned out!!
I actually wasn’t going to write a blog post over how I made it since it was just a spur of the moment sort of thing I decided to do and I didn’t take any pics during the process or anything like that, but I shared the finished product on my Insta stories and I had SO many people asked how I made it. So I figured I would go ahead and post the steps and link the products I used so if nothing else, you guys would have a rough guide to go off of.
As always, if you have any questions at all as you go through the process of making your own DIY Spring Wreath, feel free to comment below and I’ll be happy to answer! 🙂
Let’s get started…
Materials Needed
(1) Yellow & White Waxflower Bundle
Directions
Step 1:Â Start with your plain grapevine wreath. Take your wire cutting scissors and cut about (4) 6-8 inch pieces of flower wire.
Step 2:Â Take the 2 pack of faux vines (there will be 2 different vine types) and start to loosely twist them to intertwine them together. After they are intertwined, lay them on top of the grapevine wreath and start to affix them to the wreath using the pieces of flower wire. (I would loop the flower wire through the vine pieces and then thread the flower wire through the wreath itself and twist the two ends together in the back to make sure it was secure.)
Step 3: Next, take your wire cutting scissors and start to cut the flowers off the yellow daisy bundles. Make sure to leave about 3-4 inches of the stem still attached to the flower. Do not cut the stem right near the base of the flower!! You’ll also want to cut the yellow & white waxflower bundle, however I didn’t cut each individual flower off. Instead, I cut at the very base of each flower stem so I was left with an entire stem of the flowers.
Step 4: Now you’ll start to affix the flowers to the wreath. I didn’t use any wire or glue to do this; I found the best and easiest way was just to stick the flower stems into the wreath itself. I chose which side I wanted to have the bow and flowers situated on and then started sticking the yellow daisies in one by one. I made sure to stick some pointing upward on the one side and others pointing downward so it would draw attention to the bow when I put that in the middle.
Step 5: After I had put all of the daisies in the wreath, I went around and stuck in the yellow & white waxflower stems on the sides and behind the daisies so they kind of poked through and just added some extra body to the wreath itself. Again, I added some pointing more upward and some pointing downward, just like the daisies.
Step 6:Â Lastly, I took the polka dot bow and put it right in the middle of where I started the flowers (I bought this bow premade because I was being lazy. If you want a bigger bow, you can make your own! Here is the polka dot ribbon by itself.) The bow already came with a twist-tie in the back so I was able to just thread that through the wreath itself and twist it in the back so that it was secure. (If you’re making your own bow, I would just cut a piece of flower wire about 6-8 inches long and use this to affix the bow to the wreath.)
And that’s it people! It took me all of half an hour and it wasn’t difficult at all. Plus I was able to get exactly what I wanted and for a cheaper price than I could have bought a wreath like this.

this wreath turned out so pretty
Love this tutorial! The door into my apartment is pretty small so a lot of standard size wreaths that are out right now are too wide. Can’t wait to create my own!

This wreath is so pretty! Wow, I can’t believe you made this yourself. Thanks for the tutorial
I DIY’d my wreath for autumn, and you’re making me think I need to do it again for spring. You’ve given me so much inspiration with this cheery wreath. I love how it turned out – it looks incredibly professional!
What a fun project! I was just telling my husband about how I wanted to make a wreath for spring!
You did a great research about the product and really loved reading it. I must say I’ve no idea about this post before and not even heard that word. While i’m writing this i am using buffer and hoot suite to monitor my social media’s. I’m thinking to try to will share my feedback after trying it.
Love a good DYI. Looking forward to some time to get back into creating more things like this. Very cute! xoxo, Sarah
I really need to try this! I have a green wreath on my door that’s so boring and needs some life!
What a pretty wreath! The yellow is so sunny and perfect for spring.
Oh this turned out great!! I use to make holiday pinecone wreaths when I was a kid with my mom. It was fun. This brings back fond memories.

This is so beautiful! Wish I had the ability to create such lovely wreaths. Though your directions are detailed enough that I’m motivated to try!
