DIY Spring Forsythia Door Wreath

Bring a pop of yellow to your front door with this DIY Spring Forsythia Wreath. Uses basic craft store items. Easy and fast to assemble!

Here’s a simple tip for adding a pop of color and an easy spring pick me up. Forsythia has a way of brightening a space, and a spring forsythia wreath on the front door instantly makes everything feel lighter and more welcoming. There’s something about the color yellow that brings a bit of sunshine, even on the grayest days.

Forsythia is one of those flowers that blooms for just a short time in the very early spring, but when it does, it’s magnificent. Sometimes planted as a hedge, the row of amazing yellow flowering bushes is a sight to behold. As a cut flower, forsythia doesn’t last long, and the blooms tend to drop off right away. That’s why using faux forsythia branches is the perfect solution for adding this amazing bloom to your spring decor.

Spring Forsythia Wreath Steps

• With the wire cutters or heavy scissors, cut the individual stems from each forsythia bush. My bushes had five stems each which left me with ten stems. You want small branches of forsythia that can be easily inserted into the grapevine wreath.
• Working on a flat surface, attach a hanger to the wreath with a piece of florist wire.
• Using the hanger to mark the top of the wreath, begin inserting the stems into the grapevine. Imagine the spokes on a wheel and follow that pattern. Start at the top and insert five stems in the left side, ending at the bottom center of the wreath.
• Starting at the top again, insert five stems into the right side of the wreath, ending at the bottom center.
• Stand back and make any necessary adjustments so the blossoms look relatively even.
• Using another piece of florist wire, attach the nest with eggs. Just stick a piece of wire through the nest and wire it on to the grapevine.

I actually didn’t spend a dime on this spring forsythia wreath. I already had several stems of forsythia and I found everything else in my craft stash. Even if you need to start from scratch, it’s a project that will brighten your front door, and greet your guests with a burst of spring!
