How to Make an Easy Wreath With Fresh Flowers and Greenery

Want a simple but lovely wreath? Try this easy wreath project! Fresh roses and eucalyptus work beautifully together and will dry nicely for continued use. It’s perfect for Springtime, Valentine’s Day, or any time you want to add a fresh pop of color to your space.

This wreath really couldn’t be easier! I’ve always loved fresh flowers – especially from Trader Joe’s who always has a good selection and reasonable prices! I was particularly inspired by an Instagram friend who turned them into a fresh wreath.

I headed to Trader Joe’s and found these mini roses which immediately captured my heart, along with plenty of seeded eucalyptus. Then I went home and dug around in my basement for a grapevine wreath to repurpose and got to work. It only took about 15 minutes!

How to Make the Easy Wreath:

It couldn’t be simpler – just cut your stems so that there are only a few inches remaining, then stick them directly into your grapevine wreath form! That easy! I kept my foliage and flowers toward the bottom but you can certainly do any configuration you like!

A Note on Drying

If you’d like to continue using your wreath you’ll want to lay it flat to dry. This will prevent your roses from all pointing their little heads forever downward.

Once you see your flowers start to droop (probably after a day or so), simply lay the wreath flat, adjust your flower heads so that they point in varying directions, and let it dry. Once it’s completely dry you can hang it back up.

My wreath is hanging in-between the double windows in my kitchen. It adds a delightful pop of freshness and color to the space!

I hope you give this a try and that you love it as much as I do!

Blessings,
Melissa
