Supplies You’ll Need
Here’s what I used for this project:
- 18-inch grapevine wreath
- Mixed Poppy Bush – I chose a mix of bright yellow poppies and white flowers for a fresh, airy look
- Greenery – Silver Dollar Eucalyptus used in this project
- 2.5-inch wired ribbon – I used a bold yellow ribbon with black polka dots for the bow
- Zip ties
- Hot glue gun (optional, but recommended for securing stems)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep Your Florals and Greenery
Start by trimming your greenery and floral stems down to workable sizes. You want them to be long enough to tuck into the grapevine wreath but not so long that they stick out too far.
Pro Tip: 🎯 If your greenery has multiple stems on one branch, you can cut them apart for better placement.
Step 2: Arrange and Attach the Greenery
Take your greenery pieces and begin inserting them into the grapevine wreath. Start with the largest stems, working around the wreath in one direction to create a natural flow.
🎯 Use hot glue to secure them in place if needed. Just tuck them into the vines and twist the wire around them so they stay put.
Step 3: Add Your Florals
Next, add in your flowers. Place the larger blooms first, spacing them evenly around the greenery. Then, fill in with smaller flowers and accent pieces.
🎯 Keep it balanced! Step back and check to make sure the wreath looks full and even.
Step 4: Make and Attach the Bow
Now, let’s make that statement bow! I used a 2.5-inch wired ribbon in bright yellow with black polka dots. Here’s how I made it:
- Cut a 36-inch piece of ribbon.
- Create two loops on each side, making sure they are even.
- Pinch the center and secure with floral wire or a zip tie.
- Leave long tails for extra drama!
🎯 Attach the bow to your wreath using floral wire or zip ties. Place it where it looks best—usually at the top or bottom of your design.
Step 5: Fluff and Adjust
Once everything is in place, fluff the bow, adjust your flowers, and trim any extra-long pieces. If you need to secure anything further, add a little hot glue.
And that’s it—a gorgeous everyday wreath in under 10 minutes!
