Supplies Needed To Make A DIY Spring Wreath

Burlap Ribbon Lime (1 1/2 spools required)
12in Wire Wreath Form
Chicken Wire
Premade Bird’s Nest
Vine Wrapped Craft Wire
Baby Breath
Hydrangea Flower Pick
Floral wire
Hot Glue

NOTE: For this project, I originally used Mossy Twig Vine to create a bird’s nest (you will see that in the supply photo below). Unfortunately, this product is no longer available.

However, you can still make this project using a premade artificial bird’s nest. You can find premade bird’s nest on Amazon, at the craft store, and even at your local Dollar Tree!

Step 1: Cut Chicken Wire To Fit Inside The Wreath Form

Start with the chicken wire and wire wreath form. Use metal cutters to cut the chicken wire to fit inside the wreath form. Attach the chicken wire to the wreath form with lengths of floral wire as shown. It is important to leave the long ends free as we will use them in a minute.

Step 2: Cut Pieces Of Floral Wire And Tie To Wreath Form

Snip off 6 – 8 inch lengths of floral wire and tie them to the wreath form in various locations in the middle and outside edge as shown. Make sure they are in a location where they will not slide along the form (the place where the vertical and horizontal pieces cross are perfect).

Step 3: Attach Burlap Ribbon To Wreath Form

Start with the burlap ribbon in one area and tie on as shown below.

Then make a “bubble” with the ribbon and tie the wire around the ribbon as shown below.

Step 4: Keep Adding Burlap Ribbon Around The Wreath Form

Continue in this same manner all the way around the wreath. Cross the ribbon, make large and small bubbles, or anything else that suits you. Just play with the ribbon and the wreath until you love it. You can add more floral wire if needed as well.

Step 5: Cover Any Spots Where The Wire Is Showing

The image below is after one spool of ribbon. I used an additional 1/2 spool before calling this one done. Before finishing, try to cover up any places where your wire shows with ribbon bubbles as well.

Step 6: Glue Flowers To Wreath Form

Cut little pieces of the flowers and stick them inside the wreath as shown. You can use just a dot of hot glue to secure. Use these flowers to hide anywhere you can see floral wire as well.

Step 7: Examine Bird’s Nest

Not all premade artificial bird’s nests are the same! Examine your premade bird’s nest to make sure it looks the way you want it to. If you are happy with how it looks, you can move on to Step 8. However, if you wish it looked a bit different, now is the time to dress it up.

For example, you may want to adjust some twigs, cut off pieces that poke out too much, or glue on some moss here and there. This step is totally up to you, so be as creative or as simple as you would like!

Step 8: Glue Bird’s Nest To Wreath Form

Secure to the center of your wreath with additional hot glue. Fill the nest with flowers and secure those with hot glue as well.

This colorful DIY spring wreath is the perfect way to welcome the season. This one would transition well into summer as well if you hate making and changing your wreath with the seasons. You can also follow the instructions above with any color of burlap ribbon to make a wide variety of burlap wreaths for any season of the year.

Tips and Tricks for DIY Spring Wreath Making

Now that you’ve seen how to make a DIY spring wreath from burlap, are you ready to make your own? Here are a few tips and tricks to ensure your project goes as smoothly as possible!

Take Your Time – This project is very easy to make, but to ensure that everything looks just the way you want it, I recommend going slow and enjoying the DIY process. Especially when you are adding the burlap ribbon!
Don’t Skip The Metal Cutters – Using metal cutters in this project helps tremendously because it makes cutting the chicken wire (to fit inside the wreath form) so much easier. Don’t try to use scissors as a substitute because you can hurt yourself and damage your good scissors.
Make it Semi-Homemade – If you would rather spend more time decorating than making, you can always buy pre-made items from your local craft store or Dollar Store to add to your wreath. For example, you can buy flower embellishments, bird’s nests, and even fake birds.
Think Beyond Spring – Even though I made a spring wreath, you could make this wreath for any season of the year. All you would need to do is change up the color of the burlap, flowers, and possibly the bird’s nest, to get a new look. The possibilities are truly endless! If you are looking for some fun ideas to get you started below are a few for different seasons.
- Summer: Yellow burlap with sunflowers, bees, and a bird’s nest.
- Fall: Orange/brown burlap with autumn leaves, pumpkins, and a bird’s nest.
- Winter: Dark green or brown burlap with berry picks, pinecones, and a bird’s nest. You could also swap out the bird’s nest and use a small birdhouse instead to ”symbolize” that the birds are inside since it’s too cold outside.
