Cheerful Garden Hose Wreath - Perfect for Summer!

Step 1. Attach foam block to garden hose.

The first step to creating this garden hose wreath for summer is to attach the foam block to the garden hose. The foam block I used was approximately 3.5” x 3” x 2”. I coiled the garden hose into a circle shape and then maneuvered the hose around the block so it could lay flat. Once you have it arranged right, you can wrap and tighten the floral wire around a few times to keep everything in place.

Quick tip: If you’ve got a wild hose (OR you don't have any floral wire) and having trouble getting your hose into a wreath shape, you can secure it in a few different spots with zip ties. 

Step 2. Secure the opposite side of the hose with floral wire.

I added a little bit of floral wire to secure the side opposite of the floral foam block. I’m not positive that this was necessarily required, but I felt better but adding the little extra bit to secure the garden hose wreath.

Step 3. Remove flowers from stems.

Using wire cutters, you will snip the flowers from the stems. Leave about 3 to 6 inches of stem behind the flower (at various lengths), which you’ll be sticking into the floral foam block.

The flowers you purchase may be more or less full than the ones I used. I ended up needing about 4 full floral stems taken apart. Mine were purchased from Dollar Tree and Michael’s.

Step 4. Add flowers to foam block.

This is the fun part, where the cute garden hose wreath for summer starts coming together and takin’ its shape! Start adding in the flowers into the foam block. Keep them pointed upwards and then fanning out from the foam block.

Continue adding in the flowers to the floral foam block, filling in all of the spaces on the block. Don’t forget about the edges and the top of the foam block.
