Fly a Kite Spring Wreath from Socks

Make this easy spring wreath using socks and a few craft supplies. This is a fun project you can make with kids and customize it however you want!

Did you read that title right? A wreath from socks?

Yep and I am going to show you how.

I love my sock snowman craft and came up with another fun sock craft!

A few weeks ago I found the cutest striped socks at the Dollar Tree. So I went to Facebook to see what suggestions you had to turn them into a craft. Most of the responses were sock monkeys, but then I came up with another plan.

This easy spring wreath.

The striped colors on the sock were just screaming spring to me. See how I turned these simple dollar socks into this adorable fly a kite spring wreath.

How to Make Spring Wreath from Socks

You can use your Cricut machine and a few craft supplies to make this adorable spring wreath.

Supplies Needed

• Cricut Explore or Maker
• Tube socks
• Wreath form
• LightGrip Cricut Mat
• Cardstock
• Hot glue gun
• Weeding tools (optional)

Use a knife or saw to separate your wreath in one area.

Cut the tops of your socks off as shown.

Start putting the socks over the wreath. Just work them over just like you were putting them on your leg. Putting them on stripes-side first works best.

You are going to put the stripes of the next sock over the now raw cut edge of the sock before it.

Eventually you will have a complete and finished looking wreath. All of this took maybe 10 minutes! This is an extremely quick and easy method for getting a cute wreath base.

Then you can add some paper embellishments using your Cricut.

I decided on a kite craft theme for my wreath after finding the “Let’s Go Fly a Kite” graphic below in my scrapbook stash. I used a few other paper elements plus some baker’s twine and washi tape.

Cricut Design Space Instructions

Find a design that you like in Cricut Design Space. You can find a kite and fun shapes, similar to what I used here.

I also used some scalloped edges. Follow the on-screen instructions to cut the various pieces.

The “kite” went on the side of the wreath with a baker’s twine string. You can use whatever you have on hand for the tail. I actually used a piece of washi tape but ribbon will absolutely work. Everything was added to the spring wreath with hot glue.

I then added a few paper scallop circles with my graphic on top. Again putting them on with hot glue.

Now just add some ribbon to the top to hang and this one is ready to go on your door.

This wreath is perfect for the windy spring months when in fact you do just want to go fly a kite.

This spring wreath is so quick and easy you can even find time to go fly a kite with your kids when you are done! Make this perfectly simple spring wreath and add some cheer to your front door.
