Floral Wreath Archives | ConfettiStyle

Hooray for Spring! I’m so happy to usher in a new season that brings with it sunny skis and warmer temps.

To celebrate springs arrival, I decided to make a beautiful wreath to hang on my front door. This wreath is my latest project as part of the design team for The Ribbon Roll ribbon company. You can shop all their amazing ribbon here and find more ribbon projects on their blog.

Ok, let’s get this project underway. Just like I did for my Christmas wreath, I used a non-traditional base for this wreath–a rectangular picture frame. And here’s my supply list…

Supply List:

Rectangular Picture Frame–I bought my frame at Hobby Lobby on clearance for $4.00.
Burlap Colored Wired Edge (item # CBBCM-BBB-AJF)
Pink and Orange Plaid Wired Edge Ribbon (item # BEGE-JW-HEE-JIK)
Fuchsia Dot Delight Wired Edge (item #BEGDHW-BBB-JIK)
Faux Flowers—you’ll need one or two bunches with 4 to 6 flowers on each.
Faux Greenery—one bunch of leaves works great for this project. Pick a leaf variety that works with your flowers.
Wood Welcome Sign
Hot Glue Gun and Glue
Scissors or Garden Clippers
Burlap Twine
Craft paint or wood stain (optional)

Before I started assembling the wreath, I prepared all of the components that I will be adding to the frame.

Prep The Supplies:

Pull the flower heads off the bundle so there was just a tiny stub at the base of each flower.
Pull the leaf bunch apart creating a handful of small leaf clusters.
Cut a length of burlap ribbon 20” long and use twine to pinch it together every 5 inches. The pinched sections are where the ribbon will be glued to the frame.
Cut (10) 6″ pieces of each patterned ribbon. You’ll loop these and add to your wreath.
Stain or paint the WELCOME sign.

Once you have all of your components ready, it will take you about 30 minutes to make the wreath.

Step 1: Attach the burlap ribbon to the frame in a random, zig zag pattern. Glue the pinched points to the frame using the hot glue gun and then pull the ribbon up to create peaks. You can cover your entire frame with ribbon or just two corners like I did.

Step 2: Glue a couple of leaf pieces at each pinch point and then add a flower on top of the leaves.

tip: make sure to position your leaves and flowers going different directions along the frame so it has a natural feel.

Step 3: Once the ribbon, leaves and flowers are attached, glue the Welcome sign in the center of the frame. My sign fit perfectly from edge to edge on my frame.
