How to Make A Multi-Color Flower Wreath For Spring
This wreath is made with artificial flowers of all types and colors glued to a grapevine wreath.
The wreath I made over the weekend is a bit different from the kind I usually make. For this wreath, I pulled out all the stops and used an assortment of artificial flowers from my tote of thrifted flowers.
I have grapevine wreaths in all sizes, shapes, and styles. I pulled this one with the oranges and ribbon (Fall decorating) from the shelf and stripped all the stuff from the grapevine wreath.
I have a tote packed full of flowers I bought at thrift stores or from craft stores when they were on sale. Some of the flowers are from old, outdated grapevine wreaths I purchased and then stripped of flowers.
I took out the brightly colored Spring and Summer looking flowers to work with.
My first thought was to glue the large greenery stem to the grapevine wreath as a base for the flowers.
Then I changed my mind. I found the bright yellow sprigs of something? and decided to use them along with a few green leaves to fill in around the flowers once I glued them to the wreath.
I first cut the stems from the flowers and laid them out on the grapevine wreath in what I thought looked like a pleasing arrangement.
Then I began gluing the flowers in place with my hot glue gun. Of course, as usual, I changed up the arrangement as I worked. After the flowers were all in place, I filled empty spaces with a few green leaves from the cut flower stems and the yellow stem thingies (I still don’t know what to call them).
And this was the outcome. I love the wreath, and I’ve never been a fan of the craziness of the different kinds of flowers and colors. But I’m a fan now.
I saw a photo online or in a magazine recently with a mixture of flowers and colors, and that is what inspired this wreath. I wish I could remember where I saw the inspiration piece.
It is so sweet…..but what do you guys think? Yall are the people who count.

Love it, Kathy! It’s a bright pop of summer color – just like a wildflower garden! You did great.
Looks great. I love all the colors.
Yes, I tried not to get too crazy. I had some purple flowers but refrained from adding those, lol.
Thank you Marietta!
It is beautiful! Great for the front door!
I like it. If you think about it, it follows a primary color scheme – shades of red, yellow and blue!
