DIY: Spring wreath

Wow this took me forever to plan. I finally got it though.

What you'll need:

  • branch wreath
  • flowers
  • butterflies or birds
  • hot glue gun
  • burlap
  • twine





What to do:

First lets make the banner. Draw a triangle on the burlap and cut it out. I just guessed on this part. Trace the first triangle you made on the burlap and cut those out. I drew spring on them with just permanent marker and it turned out fine. Next, on the back of the triangles put hot glue on the top and lay the twine on it to glue it on. Continue with the others. I put them close together cause it didnt fit on the wreath.


Now lets do the flowers. What I did was arrange the flowers on the branch wreath like I did in the picture. I added butterflies with the flowers to add more spring to it.
 I kept adding flowers to make it even and to make sure there wasnt to much goin on. After I arranged the flowers I took my glue gun and started gluing the flowers. I just stuck the glue gun in the wreath and glued the stems to the branches. It took a whole stick of glue to do this so be patient.
After I glued it I tugged on each flower to make sure they were secure on the wreath.

When you finish the flowers add your birds or butterflies. Than add the banner however you want. I just hot glued it to the wreath.
Finished product. This was so much fun.
See you in the fall for the fall wreath.
