How To Make A Fun Bee Wreath with Sunflowers

Sharing is caring!

Today, we’re taking a bumblebee wreath form and making a cute bee wreath with sunflowers that are perfect for your front door all summer long.

Hey, y’all! I love a good bee wreath because they’re so cheery. If you like bee wreaths, you’re going to love today’s project!

This bee didn’t last long in the warehouse, but I’m sure you can find a very cute Wooden Bee Hanger from Hot Mesh Mom. If you really want the burlap version, you can find some burlap door hanger alternatives on Etsy.

This quick and fun bee wreath with sunflowers does NOT take long to make. You’ll see from the video that we put this together in less than 15 minutes! Designs like this are perfect for replenishing your stock in your shop.

Bee Wreath With Sunflowers

I think many people make the mistake of designing additions for wreath forms that take over the original door hanger or base piece. It’s easy to lose it in a sea of bow, picks, and sprays.

So, let’s keep it simple and fun friends! We want to add just enough so that it accents the bee, but it doesn’t hide it.

Supplies Needed

• Burlap door hanger
• 2 curly picks
• Sunflower floral stem
• 2.5″ wired ribbon

How To Make This Fun Bee Wreath with Sunflowers

Follow these simple directions and in about 15 minutes, you’ll have a completed wreath!

Step 1

Prevent the ends of the curly pick from poking out by trimming them.

Step 2

Layer the floral stem and curly picks into a beautiful bunch that will accent your door hanger base. Secure with a zip tie.

Step 3

Grab your 2.5″ wired ribbon and use your EZ Bow Maker to make a 12″ tail. Add 6″ loops to each side.

Step 4

With your 1.5″ wired ribbon, create another bow that’s slightly smaller. Using the 2.5″ wired ribbon, add just a tail.

Step 5

Come back with the 1.5″ wired ribbon to make a center loop. Secure the bow with a pipe cleaner.

Step 6

Add your bow to the center of your floral bunch. Use the pipe cleaner from your bow to attach both the floral bunch and bow to the burlap bee.

Fluff out your florals and bow and trim the ribbon tails at an angle.
