How to Make a Wreath in Any Style
April 30, 2015
Entry Door Décor is timeless, universal and Spring time is a great time to do a Spring Refresh.
Today I am sharing how to make a wreath in any style and eight welcoming Spring wreaths for inspiration.
Making a stunning wreath is simple once you have the right supplies.
I enjoy designing wreaths for a particular area of our home.
Picking out fabric, flowers, ribbons and embellishments is always enjoyable for me.
I often times add wreaths to mirrors, my Grandmother's antique Hutch, Kitchen hood or even to the door of our greenhouse.
I made this fun and rather whimsical rag wreath for Easter and the nifty thing is that the bunnies are just a little inexpensive embellishment.
They stick on and so when Easter is behind us, I will remove the bunnies and this will be a Spring wreath in our home!
I suppose all homestyle crafters have a particular craft that they really enjoy and mine seems to be wreaths.
I curated this Spring Wreath Board, for Hometalk. Love seeing the creativity!

Love the use of burlap and blocks for a touch of whimsy and happiness.
The children are grown, but I am still celebrating the joy of May!
So, I made this May Day Country Cottage Wreath.

I thought the birdhouse was such a precious addition to this sweet wreath.
Will you be making a Spring Wreath?

I am looking for something new for our front door and now you have given me lots of ideas - thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteYou have some big events coming up in your life-glad this post gave you some inspiration.
DeleteHello Jemma, so many great wreaths and ideas. I love the one with the sunflowers.. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteSunflowers, so happy and welcoming, one of my favorites as well.
DeleteBeautiful spring wreaths!! I have so many other things I need to do I probably won't get a wreath made this spring. I will enjoy the ones you share. ;) blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time, talents and adventures Tanna!
DeleteThat first wreath is very pretty and spring like, Jemma. I also like the soft rose bud one. You are such a good wreath maker with so many clever ideas. Oh, I love wreaths and had one of my door many years ago. I think it's time again to hang something pretty on there again. I was wondering, what is the easiest way to hang them without damaging the door?
ReplyDeletelove, ~Sheri
Thank you Sheri, I do enjoy the process, sort of therapeutic for me. I would suggest a wreath hanger, you can get them at Hobby Lobby and other craft stores. I sent you a link to an especially pretty one in a email.
DeleteLove all the wreaths today! I just told my husband yesterday that I've not even had the time to put a wreath on my front door! AWFUL!!!! Now I somewhat feel inspired! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteCindy,
DeleteWreaths do add a touch of happiness to a door, a bookshelf, oh so very many places.
Jemma, you always do such a pretty job on your wreaths:) I need to get going on my spring home updates!
ReplyDeleteLeslie,
DeleteYou have seen me through the many phases of wreath making, thank you sweet friend!
So many beautiful wreathes! I think my favorite is the last one with the birdhouse - love the colors in it to!
ReplyDeleteSandie,
DeleteI am envisioning a wreath on your new front door!
My favorite is the rosebuds! So pretty!!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, it is a beauty isn't it-be sure to visit her website
DeleteOK Jemma, I need to make a wreath for my front door! I used to make wreaths a lot and I don't know why I stopped. Yours are always beautiful and so creative! I too am smitten with that little rosebud wreath and the wreath with the birdhouse is just so sweet! Thanks Jemma for the push I needed, I will put "make a wreath" on my "TO DO" list!
ReplyDeleteHugs!

Linda,
DeleteYou are so, so talented with a needle, just think of the spectacular wreaths you could make!
These are so pretty! I'm glad it's your thing! And a wreath is a circle and so symbolic of never-ending love. How fitting!
ReplyDeleteOh Dewena,
DeleteYou are the very, very best!
I just love wreaths too so thank you for just a great variety of them to pin! Pinned on my I Love Wreaths board!
ReplyDeleteThank you for adding them to your I love wreaths board on Pinterest.
DeleteYour wreaths are just exceptional! I saw one on our last holiday that was made entirely out of driftwood.
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, that must have been a gorgeous wreath!
DeleteThese are so pretty Jemma ... makes me want to create a "wreath" board on pinterest. I've been wanting to make a spring wreath for my dad's room at the nursing home, but was stuck on how to make it non-feminine. Some of these wreaths have given me inspiration!! He really needs something to hang from his window to liven the room up a bit, and even though his mind is failing, he would still scoff at too much flowery stuff ;)

Wendy,
DeleteIt is tough when our parents enter this time of their lives. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Maybe a wreath or something pretty would brighten your Dads days.
