Easy DIY Hydrangea Wreath

Sharing is caring!

I love making my own wreaths and this is the easiest DIY Hydrangea Wreath you can possibly make!  You can create one in under 15 minutes!

I love hydrangea wreaths and I was going to make one with hydrangeas all the way around but it would have cost almost $70!  That was just not going to happen.  I never pay that much for wreaths so I decided to modify the design and here is what I came up with.

How to DIY a Hydrangea Wreath

You can make a hydrangea wreath out of dried flowers or faux flowers. If you have access to dried that would be a great way to make one but I do not. So I made mine using faux hydrangea flowers.

Gather your Materials

You aren’t going to believe how easy this is, hardly anything is needed.  

I actually already had a grapevine wreath that I have changed up at different seasons to make different wreaths.  So I took the fall stems off and began to create my Spring Wreath.

• Grapevine Wreath – these come in many sizes but this is the one I used
• 4-6 Hydrangea Blooms – Depending on how big your wreath is, that will determine how many blooms you will want. The bigger the wreath the more blooms you will need.
• Wire Cutters ( I seriously use these all the time!)
• Wire
• Ribbon

When it comes to the hydrangea blooms, that’s where the cost adds up.  I bought mine at Michaels.  They were $9 apiece and on sale for 50% off.  I used 5 large blooms, you can adjust for your wreath size and shape.

Wire cutters are a must, I use them all….the…..time!  They should be found in the craft aisle, not the tools aisle!  LOL

I used this wire that I had from my bow maker, it worked perfectly and I only used two wires.

The ribbon can be any color you like.  Mine is cream to coordinate with the colors of my hydrangeas.  They are cream and pink.  

I chose a satin ribbon without wire on the edges.  I wanted the drapey look it had (drapey, is that a word?).  Wire-edged ribbon would have been much easier to work with though.  

I apologize for the bad photos.  I have a tendency to craft on my family room floor in front of the tv while watching a movie with the hubs.  LOL, does anyone else do this? 😂 

Assemble the Hydrangea Wreath

The first thing you need to do is cut the stems off your flowers.  Leave just a little bit on the end to stick into the grapevine wreath.

Now you need to figure out where on the wreath you want them.  I tried a couple of options because my wreath is a little oblong in shape.  I decided to put my flowers at the bottom to the right for a slightly off-centered look. 

Next, I took my wire and threaded it through the stem of the hydrangea, and pressed the stem down into the wreath, I was able to get 2-3 stems on each wire.  Then I took the wire behind the wreath and twisted it together tightly so the blooms wouldn’t move.

I took the ribbon and honestly, haphazardly made the bow.  I made a couple of loops, tied them together, and made some more.  No real method just wanted some loops and pieces to dangle a little.  I also attached it with the wire.

The last thing I did was I took the ribbon and looped it around the entire wreath where the blooms were not.  I could have left this out but I recently painted my front door a beautiful dark color (Urban Bronze by Sherwin Williams) and I didn’t want the grapevine wreath to disappear into the dark color.

The Finished Hydrangea Wreath

I hung my new hydrangea wreath on the front door and I think it pops nicely!  It’s the perfect Summer Wreath and matches the light pink flowers in my pots!

As I said, I love a grapevine wreath.  It’s so versatile and fun to work with.  This wreath is a much cheaper version of the original hydrangea wreath I was going to do.  This wreath cost me under $25!  That is the perfect cost for a gorgeous front door wreath!
