You might be ready for spring but is it your home? Don’t forget your front door! Your front door is the first thing people see so setting the tone is important! If you don’t yet have a spring wreath check out this post for how to make your own Easter wreath or spring wreath- these are super easy! One doesn’t even require any glue!
Gather your supplies
What You Will Need:
A Grapevine Wreath (mine is 12 inches)
Faux Moss
Brown Moss
3 Small Faux Eggs
Dried Flowers (if desired)
Hot Glue Gun
1. Decide where on your wreath you want your nest to be located; I like mine around 4-5 or 7-8 looking at the wreath as if it were a clock.
2. Start by gluing a small amount of moss onto the wreath. Be liberal with the glue- this is your foundation for your wreath and you want it to be secure! Also, use enough moss to be sufficient to be the bottom of your nest- this is where your eggs will go!
3. After you have your base as big as you want, start to build up the sides of your nest by placing a small amount of glue on the edge of the moss to build up the sides. Work your way around the edges in small chunks, (so your glue doesn’t harden before you get to it!) taking 4-5 sections to make your whole way around the nest.
4. Once you are happy with the edges and your nest you will take the brown moss and repeat the same process that you did in step 3 around your green nest base.
5. You get to glue on your eggs! Don’t forget to lay the eggs out before you start gluing to make sure that they fit the way you want them to.
6. If desired, place a small amount of glue on the end of the flower stem before sliding it into the wreath.
You’re all Done!
No Glue Spring Wreath
What you will need:
A 12’ Grapevine Wreath
At least 3 different faux flowers (or artificial)
Flower arranging wire (any wire that isn’t too heavy a gauge will due)
Ribbon
pliers
1. Cut your flowers to the length you want: I like to have my greenery or filler be the tallest, feature my main flower front and center, and tuck the little flowers around the edges.
2. Arrange the flowers how you want them to appear on your wreath.
3. Cut approximately 1 inch of wire. Lay the flowers on the wire and twist the wire closed. Use your pliers to tighten the wire so that it securely holds the flowers.
4. Place the bouquet where you want it on your wreath.
5. Cut a piece of ribbon (about 16 inches depending on how long you want your ends to be) and slide it under the wreath.
6. Wrap the right side of the ribbon clockwise around the wreath, then wrap the left side around the wreath, this covers the bouquet and wire nicely so that they don’t show.
7. Securely double-knot the ribbon, you want it to be tight so your bouquet doesn’t move! And tie a pretty bow!
8. Display your pretty wreath!
And that’s all there is to it! I hope if you are needing a wreath to welcome people into your home that this helps inspire your creativity and that you can have fun creating your own wreath- happy spring!
