DIY Blue Hydrangea Wreath

DIY Blue Hydrangea Wreath

Ok I kept you waiting long enough. Would you believe that I used spray paint to turn these dried hydrangeas blue? I know, crazy weird, right?!

But that’s exactly what I did!

I gathered all of my supplies on the side of my house as my family and neighbors looked on in utter confusion. They asked me several times what the heck I was up to.

Just a blog project…a fun summer wreath with some freshly spray painted blue hydrangeas! I could tell they were skeptical, and to be honest, I wasn’t sure it would work either.

But you never know until you try, right?

The Supplies for This Wreath

Here is just what you will need!

• Spray paint ( I used Rustoleum Painters Touch satin in Cornflower Blue)
• large grapevine wreath ( find a similar one here & the same one I used for my fall wreath)
• dried hydrangeas (read my tips on how to dry hydrangeas!)
• box or floral foam (to hold the dried hydrangeas up while you spray them)

Here’s How To Make It

Honestly, this might be one of the easiest wreaths I have ever made. I started by grabbing my basket of dried hydrangeas. Next, I started poking holes in an old box and sticking the dried hydrangeas in the holes. It held them up perfectly! This allowed the painted flowers to dry easier and me to see all sides of the dried flowers as I sprayed them. I used the spray paint to coat them which also preserved them nicely.

Next, after the flowers dried I started inserting the stems of the hydrangeas into the wreath. I love grapevine wreaths because things stick into them so easily! Be careful because this can be a bit messy between the spray paint and dried petals falling off.

Slowly but surely I added a few more flowers and ended up with a total of six dried hydrangeas. They looked a bit bare so I decided to grab some greenery from our yard. I used aspen leaves but you could use anything from boxwood clippings to evergreen clippings. My advice is to play around until you are happy with the look.

And that’s it! Quick,simple and pretty, just how I like my wreaths! The last thing you have to do is find a place to hang it. I hung mine in our family room on my large vintage green shutters and boy did it pop.
