How to Make a Hydrangea Wreath for FREE

If you are anything like me, I have quite a few wreaths hanging around that have seen better days.

Instead of tossing them, repurpose them!

This grapevine wreath has been on my hit list for a while.

The fall berries are totally faded, so it doesn’t look good in my decor anymore.

But the grapevine wreath is in PERFECT condition!

And what I love about using a grapevine wreath for this DIY is you can tuck the stems directly into the grapevine without using floral wire.

So it’s totally worth taking off all the old stuff and tucking in flowers from the garden.

Since this wreath is made with hydrangeas, I’m cutting flowers from my endless summer hydrangea.

If you don’t have hydrangeas in your yard, ask a friend or a neighbor if you can cut some from theirs and make wreaths together.

This is such a fun project to do and looks so gorgeous when it’s done.

And the best part?

The hydrangea flowers dry right on the wreath.

I mean how easy is that???

How to Make a Hydrangea Wreath for FREE

Grab some pruners and let's cut some flowers to make this hydrangea wreath using items you have at home.

Prep Time20 minsActive Time25 minsTotal Time45 mins

Yield: 1 wreath

Equipment

• Pruners
• Container to Hold Fresh Cut Flowers

Materials

• 1 Set Pruners
• 10-20 Fresh Cut Hydrangea Flowers
• 1 Bucket, Basket, or Other Container
• 1 Grapevine Wreath or Other Wreath Form
• 1 Floral Wire and Cutters (optional) (You only need floral wire and cutters if you use a wreath form that will not hold the blooms on its own)

Instructions

• Find an old grapevine wreath.
• Clean up the wreath by removing the old decor.
• Using sharp pruners, cut vintage-looking hydrangea flowers about 8-10" long. Make sure the blooms have a papery feel to them as these will dry better on the wreath.
• Collect blooms in a basket or other container. If you are not making the wreath right away, drop the cut hydrangea flowers immediately in water and keep them there until you are ready to make the wreath.
• Remove all of the leaves from the stem.
• Cut the stems down to about 4-6" so it's short enough to stick into the grapevine wreath but long enough to be secure and not stick out.
• Add hydrangea flowers working left to right, until you fill the entire wreath.
• Hang when finished.

Notes - Feel free to fill only half the wreath if you like that look.
