Hey, friends! It’s wreath-making time, and I’m here to walk you through a Mother’s Day grapevine wreath that’s sure to make your mama proud. And guess what? It’s not as tough as you think. Let’s get crafting, and I’ll show you how to whip up a gift that’s all kinds of special without gluing your fingers together (well, maybe just a little bit).
How to Make a Floral Mother’s Day Wreath
Okay let’s get to the creating. If you prefer clearer and printable instructions make sure to scroll down to the “recipe” card at the bottom of the post.
Supplies Needed
- 16″ Oval Grapevine Wreath
- pink berry bush
- lavender cosmo bush
- hydrangea bush
- pink berry spray
Add Greenery to the Wreath Base
Grab that grapevine and attach your first batch of greenery with a zip tie. No need for a master’s degree in floristry; just secure that baby and fluff it out until it looks nice and full.
Add Some Flower Power
Take those cosmos and start from the top, glue them down, and work your way to the bottom. We’re aiming for a kind of cascading effect, so it looks like nature just happened to fall perfectly into place.
Now, nestle in some purple hydrangeas. They’re the ‘oomph’ this wreath needs. And hey, if you’re vibing with pinks and purples, we’re on the same page. If not, just swap them out with your fave colors.
Bow It Up
Time for the bow! I’m talking loops and tails and all the fancy stuff. Grab your ribbon, and let’s make it snazzy. I usually go for about a 10-inch loop, give or take, but you do you.
Fill ‘er Up
After that bow’s on point, it’s time to add in some filler. There’s this bush with pink, cream, yellow, blue, purple, and green – it’s like a paint palette but better because it’s for wreaths.
Finishing Touches
If you see any gaps or feel like the bow’s looking a bit lonely, tuck in some greenery right behind it. Trust me; it ties everything together like the perfect punchline in a sitcom.
And there you have it! A Mother’s Day grapevine wreath that’s pretty enough to make you want to hang out with your door more than usual. Don’t forget to sign up for that Spring Fling workshop if you haven’t already – it’s virtual, so no need to change out of those PJs.
Anyway, hope this quick session was helpful and you’re feeling pumped to make your own. If you’ve got questions, hit me up in the comments – I’ll be lurking around, ready to chat. Happy wreathing, and hey, let’s make our moms tear up (in a good way) this Mother’s Day!
