Spring is just around the corner! This spring lamb wreath on a grapevine base is a quick and easy way to start building your spring inventory.
Hey, y’all! Today Coach Tammy is here to showcase a beautiful spring grapevine wreath with florals and a lamb sign.
When you’re a Craftpreneur, it’s important to understand the mentality of your customers. For example, people buy wreaths and other holiday decorations in mass during the holidays because they want to deck out their homes in festive cheer.
Then there’s a little lull after the new year, but things pick up for Valentine’s Day, Mardi Gras, and St. Patrick’s Day. But once St. Patrick’s Day passes, then people get busy buying spring decor.
They crave all those cheery bright colors that embody that feeling of reawakening from a long dreary winter.

How To Make A Spring Lamb Wreath
So, once we’re done making our St. Patrick’s Day wreaths, we jump right into spring designs. And we have a new design to share today. Follow today’s spring lamb wreath tutorial for a springtime design your customers will love.
Supplies Needed
Here’s what you’ll need to make this sweet spring lamb wreath.
- 18” round grapevine
- (2) Greenery stems
- (2) Floral stems
- Hot pink floral stem
- White floral stem
- Lamb’s ear greenery stem
- (1) 2.5” ribbon
- Lamb sign
- Floral wire
- Zip ties
- Pipe cleaners
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- EZ Bow Maker
- Metal puncher
- Pick machine and picks
- Bolt cutters
Instructions
Follow this tutorial to create a store-worthy grapevine wreath in minutes!
Step 1
Start by inspecting your grapevine wreath base. Cut off any sticks that will compromise the design or will scratch your customer’s door.
Step 2
Next, prepare the sign so we can attach it to the right side of the wreath base using pipe cleaners.
Take your metal puncher and punch a small hole in the top of your metal sign and another one in the bottom of your sign.
Cut a couple of pieces of floral wire several inches long and thread one piece through each hole in your metal sign.
Then twist the wires to secure them and use them to attach your sign to the grapevine base.
Step 3
Take your greenery stems and use spread them out. These stems don’t need to be cut off the large center stem, which makes them special and one of my favorites to use.
Insert them one by one into the grapevine base above and below the sign.
Note: I’m not using hot glue on the ends to secure them because I will secure them in place with zip ties.
Step 4
Now we get to add some floral stems into the wreath design. I love these light pink florals! Again, you don’t need to use bolt cutters to cut the individual stems off of the main stem.
Add one stem to the top of the wreath and another to the bottom of the wreath. Then pull some of the greenery through so that it looks like one cohesive design.
Step 5
Next, let’s take one more floral stem and add it to the design. We want to use it to fill in gaps, so use bolt cutters to cut the large stem off of the main stem. You’ll have two even stems that you can add to your spring lamb wreath.
Insert one of these stems into the top of the design to fill it out. Then insert the second stem into the bottom of the wreath to fill in any gaps.
Step 6
Take a stem of the small hot pink flowers and use the bolt cutters to cut the smaller stems off of the main stem.
Add a dab of hot glue to each stem before inserting it throughout the design.
Step 7
Take a stem of the small hot pink flowers and use the bolt cutters to cut the smaller stems off of the main stem.
Add a dab of hot glue to each stem before inserting it throughout the design.
Step 8
Take a stem of the Lamb’s ear greenery and use the bolt cutters to cut the smaller stems off of the main stem.
Then add a dab of hot glue to each stem as you insert it into the design.
Step 9
Cut a couple of strips of 2.5” ribbon and dovetail one end. Take the other end, fold it over, and put it in the pick machine to add a pick.
Add a dab of hot glue to the end of the pick and insert it into the florals at the top of your design. Then repeat the process with the second ribbon strip and add it to the florals at the bottom of the design.
Step 10
Let’s make a simple bow by hand!
Take your first 2.5” ribbon and make (2) 18” tails with (3) 8” loops. Let the tails hang down.
Now grab your second 2.5” ribbon and make (2) 18” tails with (2) 7” loops.
Wrap a zip tie around the center of the bow and twist it tightly to secure your bow.
Then take a long zip tie and insert it through the middle of the greenery and florals. Wrap it around the center of the bow to attach the bow to the wreath. Pull it tight while trying not to crush the florals.
Trim, dovetail, or curl the ribbon tails based on how you want the design to look.
Fluff everything out, and you’re done!
Isn’t this wreath amazing? Coach Tammy has a lovely touch with florals and creates designs that customers love to buy.
