Spring Wreath with Burlap and Fresh Flowers

Up until a week ago I still had my Valentine wreath hanging on the front door. It was time for a Spring Wreath with Burlap and Fresh Flowers.

I needed a change and wanted a wreath that gently smiled “spring has sprung”!

I used the wire wreath form from last year’s spring wreath. a few terra cotta pots were in my shed and I purchased a few more at Michaels using a coupon. The pots can be found at many craft, dollar, and gardening stores for under $1 and often at thrift shops and garage sales for mere pennies.

To give the pots an aged look simply dab on a bit of watered-down white paint.

Then lightly sand the painted pots to soften the look even further.

Next wire the pots onto the wireframe. (Make sure your pots have drainage holes at the bottom so you can do this.)

I hot glued on bits and pieces of sheet moss that I had leftover from a previous project.

I filled in the remaining open spaces on the wreath form with burlap ribbon. (Hobby Lobby~ $5.99 a roll regular price, but it was on sale for 50% off.) I used the same technique I shared HERE.

The pots were filled with small bunches of springtime flowers in shades of purple and white. The six-pack of blossoms was $2.98 bringing the total cost of the wreath to less than $10.

A light daily misting of water has kept the blooms happy.

Once the desert heat really sets in I think I will transfer the flowers to a larger ground pot and try succulents.

But for now, I enjoy the sweet smell of Alyssum every time I open the door.

    I love that you used real plants! Makes it SO much more attractive! Maybe you can change to succulents when it gets too hot?

    Oh, Laura, I love this wreath! I'd have to use fake plants, though- I'm a menace to live plants everywhere!

    What a beautiful wreath Laura! I made something very similar, but didn't even think to add real flowers. I just might have to make a trip to the garden center!

    Love this! I have everything in my junk, I mean craft room…to make this wreath. Too bad we have almost two feet of the snow still on the ground. Thanks for the inspiration!

    That is a wonderful wreath, Laura! It's so much fun to be able to add some “life” into a display — very unexpected in a wreath, but so welcoming!

    Thanks for your comment on my family treasures!

    Laura, I love your wreath! So perfect for Spring. Did you just make a burlap tube and thread it on a round wire ring?
