DIY Wood Flower Wreath

This wreath is one of my favorite spring makes, and it comes together faster than you'd think. Sola wood flowers soak up dye beautifully, so you can mix your own palette to match your porch, your mood, or the season: I went soft and coastal with sage, mauve, powder pink, and a little blue.

I filmed the whole thing start to finish, so hit play on the tutorial above to watch me dye, dry, and glue everything onto the grapevine base.

What you'll need

Everything laid out before I start — grapevine base, sola flowers, dye, ribbon, and the glue gun

Dye your flowers

The magic is in the dye: sola wood flowers drink it right up, so you can custom-mix any palette you want. Mix your colors in small bowls, dip or brush the flowers, and set them out to dry.

Build your crescent

Once everything's dry, start hot-gluing flowers onto the base. I like to cluster them in a crescent down one side, mixing sizes and colors as I go and tucking bits of eucalyptus in between for a little movement.

Hang it up

That's it: a spring wreath in your own colors, and the whole thing costs a fraction of a store-bought one.

Watch the full walk-through in the video, then go make one in your own colors. I'd love to see how yours turns out.
