Door Wreaths

Question

Hi, During Fall and Winter I am set with door wreaths, however when spring and summer roll around I don't know what I should put on my door. Any crafty ideas would be greatly appreciated.

How about some hydrangeas and a simple monogram?

Cynthia E · Answer

You could make living wreaths or monogram initial from plants either succulents or small pansies, petunias, ground covers etc. Or cover in moss and add a few faux spring flowers or birds in nests.. Can't wait to see what you make :)

Terri Austill · Answer

I made a cute summer wreath with a vintage child's toy rake and some trailing silk petunias. Maybe you could find something unusual like that for your wreath base!

Karen, I too had your problem about a year ago. It's easy for the fall because there are so many holidays that you can decorate for and use that as the theme for your wreath, but come Jan 1, and the ideas just seem to dry up. I fixed this problem for myself by making a plain burlap bubble wreath. Now all I do is change out the decor, usually with stuff I make myself (I glue pin backs to the stuff and pin it on the wreath) or I pick up stuff at the $$ stores so I can change it out every few weeks if I get tired of it, or if I think of something I'd like better. It doesn't cost much after the initial outlay for the burlap ribbon and the wire form. If you'd be using silk flowers to decorate it, all you have to do is give yourself a decent amount of stem, then weave the stem part thru the burlap itself. Hope this can help you.

For spring try a little kids umbrella open it a little and tape to hold it .Put silk tulips or flowers you like in it. put a bow on the handle and hang it with the handle side up.For summer find a basket and put flowers in it and hang it. Hope this gives you something to think about.

Pinwheels make cheerful wreaths; I made one with bright scrapbooking papers. You can also use store-bought pinwheels and the wreath can be customized for holidays, such as red, white, & blue for Independence day.

How about a Heart shaped wreath for Valentine's Day, you can get or make them out of grapevines, or you can cut one out of wood and painted red and a shamrock painted green for St. Patrick's Day. I have a wooden Turkey also for Thanksgiving.

There is something going on all the time. A simple grapevine wreath can be changed out monthly! Pink bow with red hearts for February; Green bow and shamrocks for March; along comes April and why not motifs of rain for April showers (A cutout of a cloud with rain drops of sequins, which is followed by May flowers (daisies?)! June could be bridal month with some tuffs of netting and a pretty bow (remember something blue); July of course is flags, August is so filled with sunflowers and then comes September...a small yellow school bus and cutouts of kids? This takes you all the way to Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years'....and no shortage of ideas there! HAVE FUN!

Melanie,
 Thank you!

Shari · Answer

I've made several as gifts. I also recommend the dollar store. Mine carries wreath forms & long strands of flowers, which I just wrap around the form. I get a couple of pastel bouquets which I then cut apart to fill in. Sometimes I wire on a little stuffed toy, like a rabbit for Easter. Then I make a bow out of wired ribbon, and for less than $10 you have a wreath that looks more costly, and will get you lots of compliments.
