Wreath Making 101: Complete instructions to create a wreath from scratch plus a gallery of ideas for every season. Consists of a series of blog posts that show you how to create a wreath from start to finish.
For as long as I can remember, I have loved wreaths. I’ve had them in every room of my house at one time or another…and of course as a symbol of hospitality on my front door. Over the years, I have picked up tips and tricks that have made wreath-making easy and fun. I’d like to share those tips as a token of my thanks for your support of my blog, so I’ve put together a little tutorial called Wreath Making 101.
Nine times out of ten I start with a grapevine wreath…or sometimes two grapevine wreaths. Visit my [How to Make a Wreath] post for details on how to get started. I show you how to take a plain, pile-of-sticks wreath and transform it into something wonderful. Click [HERE.]
Not always, but most of the time, I add a bow. There are lots of ways to make a bow…but if you want a perfect one every time just follow the directions in my post [How to Make a Perfect Bow.]

Now that the basics are taken care of, it’s time to add your own signature touch. Below are some wreaths and door baskets I have designed that may inspire you to dig in and make one of your very own. Many times all I need is a little inspiration to get started. Sort of like planting a seed. Use my seeds…but make them grow yourself. These are all easy and budget friendly ideas. Some of them are seasonal but go ahead, click over and pin them for later.

Thank you so much! Awesome wreaths for all occasions!
The wreaths look super. I love the forsythia wreath, that will be the first one I attempt. Thanks so much!
Love all the wreaths hope i can make some of the fall ones.
I am very interrested in your site and especially wreaths …
I love wreaths and yours are beautiful. Every time I make a new one my husband asks, “Where are we going to store it?” But I love changing them out for the seasons and holidays. Love the tutorial and the inspiration.
Thanks Anne, i pray you are having a restful weekend.
your wreaths are all so cute I pinned the how to for reference. Thank You
Have a great Day.
Boy, was this post timely! We moved two years ago from Michigan to Colorado and I had to get rid of much of my DIY and craft materials only to start over. I am lacking in the seasonal wreath department and was looking for some inspiration this morning as I build up my decor shelves again. And bam! I opened my inbox today to see your plethora of wreath ideas. Thank you, thank you Ann for your easy, affordable and creative wreath posts! You never disappoint and over deliver!
Beautiful wreaths, Ann! I especially love the snowman, dried hydrangeas, and the spring and summer baskets! We have so much snow right now I should probably try to make the snowman :), but am so looking forward to spring I’m going to attempt the forsythia basket. Thanks for the great tutorials!
thank you for sharing this information!
Ann, definitely pinning several of the wreathes I missed. Snow predicted for Wednesday here in Ohio, but my forsythia wreath will be hung on our front door. Can’t wait for spring.
Seems like yesterday when you made the daisy wreath. My mom recently sent me a Fall grapevine wreath that needs some love, but! I can use it for all seasons.
Have a Blessed Sunday, Kathleen in Az
Oh my Ann I had no idea how many wreaths you’ve made. What a stunning collection, you go girl they’re all terrific :)
