DIY Front Door Spring Wreath
At the first hint of Spring, I’m always anxious to freshen up my home and that starts at the front door.
Since my wreaths don’t seem to last more than one or two seasons, I was on the hunt for a new wreath and found one on-line. However the price tag was way over my budget.

Inspiration Spring Wreath
The beautiful spring wreath that caught my eye had a $349 price tag. I thought that was insane.
There would be no running for my purse to grab my credit card and make that purchase; instead, I grabbed my purse and ran out to my local craft store and bought some faux flowers to make my own DIY Wreath.
I made sure that the faux florals were on sale or I had a coupon.
I couldn’t find the exact same flowers but with a grapevine wreath base and a green garland, I got to work. Once I fired up my hot glue gun, I was ready to create!
Supply List
- Grapevine Wreath (I had one in stock)
- Hot Glue Gun
- Wire Cutters
- (1) Full Green Garland Strand
- (3-4) Flower Sprays
- One with larger hydrangeas
- (1) Faux Fern Bundle
Directions
- Wrap the garland around the grapevine wreath. Securing it with hot glue as you go around. I wrapped mine pretty tightly so you don’t see the base wreath underneight and it is quite full. I had to use some chip bag clips to hold it down as the glue was drying.
- Using a wire clipper I cut the flower sprays apart.
- Start the flowers by securing three of the hydrangeas to the top part of the wreath with some of the greenery from the flower sprays poking out. I hot glue the stems once I have them in place.
- Once I had my hydrangeas in place then I layered in the other flowers in a fan type look coming out from the hydrangea clump.
- Finally, I added some single fern fronds around the wreath
My DIY Wreath
By making the wreath myself I was able to make it my own. I added some yellow, purple and a brighter pink for a more vibrant wreath than my inspiration wreath.
I also saved a bunch of money. My total investment was $40 which was much easier on the budget.
This DIY was really simple. The only two tools that I used were a hot glue gun and wire cutters. I didn’t stress about the flower placement as I wanted it to be
All in all, I’m pretty happy with my DIY Spring Wreath. Check out my updated front porch HERE!

Behind the scenes
Hi, I’m Lynn
After years in corporate America, I’ve channeled my interior design degree and passionate creativity into transforming our 1,300 square foot house into a cozy, inviting haven that proves beautiful living doesn’t require massive square footage.
My slightly OCD tendencies fuel my love for organizing while my “Handy” husband helps bring my vintage-inspired decorating visions to life in our empty nest, where we entertain, garden, and cook from scratch.
Join me as I share practical wisdom, a little humor, and professional insights for making the most of every square inch—because I’ve discovered that living large isn’t about the size of your home but how you fill it with style, function, and heart.
