Farmhouse Windmill Wall Decor Instructions

In case you didn’t catch something in the video above, here are the directions written out so you can follow the process of making this windmill wreath easily!

Step 1

Take your windmill and attach it one side of the grapevine wreath base using pipe cleaners to secure each side of the windmill.

Step 2

Start making your bow. Grab the EZ Bow Maker and a 2.5″ wired ribbon. Measure out a 16-inch tail and make (2) 8-inch loops.

Step 3

Next, grab your 4″ ribbon and repeat the same process.

Step 4

Now we’ll add in a 1.5″ ribbon. Make tail, 2 slightly smaller loops, and then make a small loop to be the center button of your bow.

Step 5

Use a pipe cleaner to tie the bow off tight with a good twist (of the bow).

Step 6

With the windmill at the top right side of the wreath base, we’ll be adding our main design to the bottom part of the grapevine to accentuate the windmill.

Use the pipe cleaner on your bow to attach the bow at the bottom of the grapevine base.

Step 7

Trim the tails at the top of your bow. Wait to trim the tails at the bottom of your bow.

Step 8

Take your greenery sprays and add them to both sides of the bow. Use the hot glue gun to secure them in place.

Step 9

Add some sunflower sprays on both sides of the bow. Secure them in place with a dab of hot glue.

Step 10

Keep layering to build out the design by adding in more sunflower sprays to make it fuller.

Step 11

Take your other floral floral sprays, and use the hot glue to attach them to the grapevine base and fill in the gaps.

Step 12

Dovetail all ribbon tails.

Wasn’t that fun? There are so many fun ways you can use windmill decor, but in a wreath like this is by far my favorite!
