Rustic Dollar Tree Farmhouse Tulip Wreath Instructions
Spring in the Pacific Northwest means local tulip fields become awash in gorgeous colors. A popular spring pastime for those of us who live here is driving to one of the nearby tulip farms and taking a walk among the colorful tulip bulbs.
No time to head to the tulip fields this year? No problem. You can still bring a touch of tulip to your home with this easy DIY tulip wreath. The supply list is short and most supplies can be found at the dollar store or your favorite craft supply shop.
You don’t even need a hot glue gun for this tulip wreath. (Though there’s a pro tip for how to strengthen the wreath with some hot glue.)
Whether you choose to hang this tulip wreath craft on your front door as a lovely welcome to your home, or display it on a wall in your house to brighten up a room with some spring decor, this farmhouse-style wreath will add some flair to any room.
DIY Farmhouse Tulip Wreath Supplies
- 18 inch Grapevine Wreath
- Wire Cutters
- Burlap Bow; to make this craft even simpler, use a pre-made burlap bow.
- Pink Tulips (2 bunches)
- Small White and Yellow Flowers (or your own favorite color!)
- Eucalyptus Bunch
- Hot Glue Gun (optional)
Instructions for Farmhouse-Style Tulip Wreath with Burlap
To begin, get out your wire cutters and get to work trimming your florals. Use the wire cutters to trim the stems of the tulips, white flowers, and eucalyptus. For the example here, about three inches of stem was left on each piece.
Now it’s time to get your grapevine wreath and start adding your tulips and other flora to it!
When adding the flowers, begin with the top section of the wreath first. Add the tulips first. To do this, simply weave the tulip stem in between the grapevine branches of the wreath.
Next, add the eucalyptus pieces using the same weaving technique. The eucalyptus will give the wreath additional fullness and greenery.
After the tulips and eucalyptus are added, it’s time to add the smaller white flowers. Sporadically place them among the eucalyptus using the same tactic of weaving in or out.
Stop about a quarter of the way down the wreath. Get your burlap bow to measure where it will rest below these flowers you just wreathed. Mark the spot where the bottom of the burlap bow rests and begin weaving a new section at that point, leaving a space on the wreath where the bow will go. Again, start with the tulips, then add eucalyptus, and then add the smaller white flowers.
Now it’s time to add the burlap bow! If it’s not a pre-made bow, DIY it and fashion the burlap into the type of bow you want. If it’s pre-made, it likely comes with a tie in the back (if not, you’ll need to hot glue it to the wreath). Tie it around the wreath to secure the bow.
After the burlap is secured, add any additional greenery or tulips next to the burlap or at the ends of the weaving to create the exact look you want.
A Few More Tips for Your DIY Tulip Wreath
So as mentioned previously, a hot glue gun isn’t necessary for this DIY wreath. The example does not use a hot glue gun. However, to make your tulip wreath more secure and longer lasting, a pro tip is to add some hot glue to each stem before placing it in between the grapevine wreath branches.
If you don’t get a pre-made burlap bow with a tie, you’ll also likely want a hot glue gun to create the bow and secure it to the wreath. However, if you’re on a hunt for a pre-made burlap bow, keep checking at Joanne Fabrics, Michaels, or Hobby Lobby for sales. All three carry this style of bow and often the bows are 50% off (if not, check for store coupons to use for it).
Also, another tip is to customize! For the eucalyptus bunch or other flower bunches, don’t feel like you have to use it all. Tailor the wreath to your liking.
Lastly, one more tip to give this tulip wreath even more of a Pacific Northwest spring vibe: add some faux cherry blossoms to it!
Now you have your very own custom-made farmhouse wreath showcasing some beautiful tulips!
