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.

Sunday, February 28, 2016 at 2:11 pmBoy, 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!

Sunday, February 28, 2016 at 1:04 pmBeautiful 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!

Sunday, February 28, 2016 at 9:50 amSeems 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
