A step-by-step tutorial for making a spring wreath from scratch using artificial sage greenery and blush flowers for soft, romantic style.

I hope you won’t judge me for this and it’s taken me a while to come to terms with this trait in my personality, but I can’t help it. I’ve realized…

I’m kind of a wreath snob.

I know. I’m totally ashamed. I’ll decorate our house with recycled bottles bound for the trash. I’ll swoop in for a piece of furniture that would get passed up at any yard sale. I will fill our house with IKEA everything and pretend it’s designer in a heartbeat.

But I’m the pickiest person alive about the wreaths we hang on our front door.

While I was cruising through the aisles at Michael’s last week, I noticed all of their faux florals were 50% off and I couldn’t help myself. I scooped up every bashful and blush flower that crossed my path because apparently pink is my signature color this spring. (Steel Magnolias, anyone?)

So I thought I’d share how you can make your own DIY spring wreath, if you’re kind of a snob about it like I am.

You can find a bunch more inspiration at the end of this post for The Happy Housie’s Seasonal Simplicity Wreath Bloghop, if “bashful and blush” isn’t your thing.

(Some affiliate links are provided below. Full disclosure here.)

Supplies Used:

  • Wire wreath form (I used a 24″)
  • Floral wire
  • Floral tape
  • Floral cutters (This little kit does the job for all of it.)
  • Artificial lamb’s ear stem
  • Artificial lamb’s ear bush
  • Artificial white berry bush
  • Artificial peony stem
  • Artificial dahlia stem (similar)
  • Artificial ranunculus stem
  • Artificial garden rose bush

The Steps:

1. I started with the lamb’s ear first by snipping them into individual stems and placing them evenly around the wreath frame. And then attached them with florist wire and tape.

2. Once the lamb’s ear was in place, I took apart the white berry bushes by snipping individual stems and attaching them with more wire and tape between the lamb’s ear stems on the wreath form.

3. Then, I placed the blush flowers where I wanted them, pulled the stems through the wire form and attached them with more wire on the backside of the wreath.

And now our wreath is hanging out on our front door hoping spring will show up soon.

This is actually the first wreath I’ve ever made totally from scratch, and I think I’m ready to make more because this one was WAY more fun than I thought it would be. I’m not exactly the crafty type (more of the furniture painting / home improving type), but I can get on board with this new little hobby.

Really sage and blush (and “bashful”) anything has my heart to begin with.

Now to get the front porch swept and the rest of this little stoop in spring shape and we’ll be in business.

      Our door has a peg already on it, so we just hang it from there. It was there when we moved in and we just never removed it because it comes in handy. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Ha ha! When I saw the word “Blush” in the title I knew there was a “Steal Magnolias” reference coming. Nicely done! Oh, and the wreath is pretty awesome or awesomely pretty, too! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Wreath is beautiful! I was looking thru the items linked and you might want to take a look. Unless this wreath cost you over 500.00 to make. ? Im thinking is was very budget friendly.

      Haha! So about that… Michael’s only allows you to order online in bulk which is a major bummer. But I wanted to link the exact items I used so that when people shop in stores in person, they’ll know what to get. I definitely don’t recommend spending that much money unless you plan on making 10 wreaths. Haha! Big ol’ nope!

        And yes, it’s still more budget friendly than buying one already made from a florist/artist.

    Your wreath is so pretty! Love the blush flowers- they almost look vintage. And the way you put the larger flowers off center is charming. Youโ€™ve inspired me to try my hand at wreath making!

    Oh Lauren, I am a TOTAL wreath snob! I think it’s why I always make my own wreath – I don’t love cutesy, but I do love a little something extra! Fun to participate in these hops with you. I love your blush wreath and have pinned it to my wreaths board!

    Just stunning! You did a fabulous job. How many stems of the lambs ear did you use?

      Hi, Lisa! Great question. I used about 6 stems.

    The wreath is beautiful, but my question is regarding your front door. If you donโ€™t mind me asking, is that a vintage-inspired storm door or your actual front door?

      Hi, Mandy!! I love questions. Ask away!! The doors were a part of the house when we moved in. I get asked about the front door A LOT! ๐Ÿ™‚

    I love this! How many of each type of flower and bush did you need for the 24″ wreath?

    • Lauren says

      March 12, 2020 at 11:21 am

      Ack! I can’t remember exactly, but I want to say I just used 1 of each greenery bush/stem and cut them apart to divide and attach around the wreath frame. For the flowers, I used 1 peony, two dahlias, and two ranunculus. And 2 rose bushes.
