A Quick & Easy Modern Minimal DIY Wreath

I am super excited to be sharing today’s DIY. It came about while I was trying to design a different sort of wreath altogether. But once I laid out all the greenery that I had purchased, I soon visualized an entirely new design for my wreath. The result is this modern minimal DIY wreath which took me just 20 minutes to create. In no time, I had a gorgeous, soft green wreath ready to hang on my front door. If you are looking for a quick and easy project to spruce up your home this season, then this just might be the perfect little DIY to tackle for your front door decor.

 

MATERIALS YOU WILL NEED FOR THIS MODERN MINIMAL DIY WREATH

~The following contains affiliate links at no extra cost to you. Please see my full disclosure policy here.~

• 18″ biodegradable wreath form (or simply cut cardboard to size)
• synthetic ‘dusty’ greenery (like these ones or these ones)
• 22-gauge floral wire
• wire cutters

STEPS

Step 1:  Snip Stems

Snip off the stems of your synthetic greenery, making sure to keep the stems as long as possible. (It’s always better to have the option to shorten later, if needed.)

Step 2:  Begin Wrapping Wire Around Wreath Form

Biodegradable wreath forms often come with holes in them. I used this to my advantage by slipping the end of the wire through one of the holes.

Then wrap around the base a few times. This will secure the wire to the wreath form before you start.

 

Pro Tip:  Don’t snip the wire off. Keep it attached to the paddle until the entire project is complete. It will make for a much stronger and more secure final product.

Step 3:  Cluster Greenery Together

Taking a few stems, cluster the greenery together into a bunch. I used two types of greenery.

Place this cluster against the wreath form by placing the stems on top of where the wire is wrapped around the base.

Wrap the wire around the bottom portion of the stems 4 or 5 times, or until it feels secure.

Step 4:  Continue To Cluster & Attach

Add your next cluster on top of the first cluster, moving slightly to the right. Make sure to cover the wire.

Unravel your wire paddle enough so that you reach the stems of the second cluster; wrap around the base just as you did with the first cluster. Then, continue adding clusters and attaching the stems, making your way around the wreath form.

Below:  Here is what the back of the wreath form looks like when the entire wreath form is finished. Notice that there are no breaks between the wire. Once a cluster was added. the wire extends diagonally to reach the next cluster where the wire is wrapped around 4 or 5 times around each stem.

Step 5:  Hang & Enjoy!

Now, simply hang your modern minimal DIY wreath!

I really hope you enjoyed today’s tutorial as much as I enjoyed creating it 🙂

Happy wreath-making 🙂
