Summer is finally upon us and it’s the perfect time to start decorating for the warmer months ahead. So why not get into the spirit by sprucing up your front door with a cool summer wreath? It’s a fun way to kick off the season and give your home that sunny vibe!
Learn how to make a floral DIY summer wreath with this step-by-step tutorial! With only three supplies including a grapevine that you can get from Micheals, lamb’s ear, and a pre-mixed box of flowers from Amazon, it’s an easy and fun project to try today.
DIY Summer Wreath
Required Supplies
- Wire Cutters
- Hot Glue Gun
- Grapevine Wreath – I used a 14″ grapevine from Micheals.
- Faux Flowers – This is the pre-mix one I purchased from Amazon.
- Faux Lambs Ear – I used a garland from Amazon (this is not the one I purchased mine was not good quality)
- Scissors
I started by sorting through the box of flowers I purchased from Amazon. I decided to go with the peach and white colored flowers for summer and left the blue flowers for another project.
Most of the flowers did not have a stem attached to them so I used the hot glue gun to glue the stem into the head of the flower. Then I used a pair of wire cutters and made the stem approximately 2 to 3 inches long. You want the stem to be long enough to shove through the grapevine, but not too long that it sticks out the back of it.
I arranged a large peach-colored flower at the bottom of the wreath with all the smaller flowers above it and spread the other flowers around the grapevine in no particular order. Once I had a general idea of where I wanted the large flowers, I applied hot glue to the stem of each flower and pushed it into the grapevine at an angle.
After the flowers were glued to the wreath I cut sections of the lamb’s ear leaves off and attached them in and around the flowers.
Then, I filled in spots that seemed empty with more flowers and little pieces of greenery that were included in the flower kit.
AND this is the final product!
