Steps to make this DIY Easter wreath project
Now that you have your supplies, let’s get into the steps to make this Easter craft.
1. Wrap the wreath base with ribbon
The first step to make this Easter wreath DIY is to wrap the ribbon of your choice around the wreath. I chose a ribbon in a bright Spring color with a rustic looking edge. I recommend using a wider ribbon to reduce the amount of times you have to wrap it around the wreath.
Once you have fully covered the wreath, cut the ribbon and use hot glue or another adhesive to tack down the end of the ribbon. Because the ribbon is layered, this is the only spot you should need to put glue in order for the ribbon to stay in place.
2. Cut out your paper flowers
The next step to make this DIY Easter wreath is to cut out your paper flowers. The best way to do this is to cut a square of colored cardstock and fold it in half. Then, use a pencil to outline half of a flower against the paper crease. This way, when you cut out the flower it will be symmetrical.
To give your DIY wreath a more interesting look, cut out flowers in a variety of colors, sizes, and shapes. You can also cut out some leaves from green cardstock paper and small circles for the center of your flowers.
3. Glue your paper flowers to the wreath
Once your paper flowers and leaves are cut out, glue them to the bottom half of your wreath. Glue them one at a time, layering them over each other. Each one should only need a small dab of hot glue or other adhesive to stay on.
4. Use letter stickers to spell out your saying
The next step for this Easter craft is to use letter stickers to spell out the saying for your wreath. Because I wanted this wreath to work for the entire Spring season, I went with “Hello Spring”, but you could also use a bunch of different sayings like “Happy Easter”.
For an eclectic look, separate each letter in the first word on a separate square of paper. I also used two different sticker letter fonts as well.
5. Attach twine to your wreath
Now that your letters are ready, next you will attach twine to the top of the wreath. Turn the wreath over so the back is facing up. Then, glue the twine across the top.
Let the glue dry, then flip the wreath back over and clip the word “Spring” or other chosen word to the twine with clothespins. For an extra touch, I used gold clothespins but you can use any color or plain wooden clothespins for a rustic vibe.
6. Glue “Hello” letters to the top of the wreath
The last step to make this DIY Easter wreath for Spring is to glue your first word to the top of the wreath. I recommend starting with the middle letter of your word so you can center it and then build out the sides afterwards.
Now your DIY Easter wreath is ready to hang up!
