Spring Monogram Wreath

Sarah · April 11 · Leave a Comment

Since Christmas, my front door has been stark and bare. I kept thinking I needed to find a wreath for winter. And then maybe Valentine’s Day. Which turned into St. Patrick’s Day. And now here we are, smack in the middle of Spring. I decided to look around for some inspiration on Pinterest and take a trip to the craft store. This wreath was amazingly easy to make and was pretty inexpensive too! Especially when you look at the price of the pre-made ones at the store! Shew! Plus, mine is personalized for my initials and my favorite colors! Here’s how I made this Spring Monogramed “W” Wreath. I LOVE how it turned out.

Supplies

Supplies to make grapevine spring wreath, including flowers, greenery, burlap ribbon and monogram letter

I shop around for craft supplies at Hobby Lobby, Joann Fabrics, Michaels and AC Moore. There is always a big coupon for at least one of the stores each week you can use for projects! And watch the sale ads for other items to be on sale too! If I have a specific project in mind, I’ll wait for a lot of the items to go on sale, or I’ll go on multiple trips and use multiple coupons if needed.

Prices quoted below are from Hobby Lobby, because the starts aligned and nearly everything I needed for this project was already 50% off!

Basic Tools – On Hand:

  • Wire cutters – I already had a set of these, and since it’s a on hand supply, I don’t have the price of them in the tally for this project. You can get a nice and affordable pair here.
  • Hot glue gun – I have a few of these things, as they are just so handy. You can get a nice one here if you need one.

Purchased Supplies:

  • 26-gauge wire – any color you like (it won’t show)
    ($3.99 with 50% off sale => $1.99)
  • Burlap Ribbon – Mine is 2.5 inches wide and has wired edges
    ($9.99 for 30 feet with 50% off sale => $4.99)
  • Grapevine Wreath – 24 inches
    ($8.99 – item not on sale – I used 40% off one regular price item coupon => $5.40)
  • 4-8 Large artificial flowers – I used hydrangeas because they are beautiful and big!
    ($15.00 per set of 3 flowers, and I used 2 sets, 50% off => $7.49 per flower set)
  • Long Sprigs of greenery – I used 2 sprigs
    ($7.99 with 50% off sale => $3.99 each)
  • Monogram Letter – Mine is 7 inches tall and is galvanized metal
    ($9.99 with 50% off sale => $4.99)

Total Expense for Project

  • Wire $1.99
  • Ribbon $4.99
  • Wreath $5.40
  • Flowers $14.98
  • Greenery $7.98
  • Letter $4.99

TOTAL EXPENSE = $40.33 before sales tax

Assembly Instructions:

Estimated Time for Assembly is 1 – 1.5 hours. Mine took about an hour and a half, but I had to stop for snuggles and Cheerios breaks a few times.

Step 1 – Gather Supplies

Gather all the supplies. Make sure everything seems to be in scale and a good size. You want your flowers and monogram letter to fit in nicely together on the wreath and not be out of balance because one is way bigger than the other.

Once you have everything gathered up, it’s time to begin.

Step 2 – Arrange the Items on Wreath

I like to go ahead and cut the stems off the flowers so I can arrange and get a loose idea of how I want my project to look. Arrange and re-arrange until you have everything where you want it to be, so you have a kind of “blue-print” to go back to as you wire everything down to the wreath.

I ended up using the “W”, a large bow I made, 2 large pink hydrangeas and then 4 small white and pink hydrangeas. The white hydrangeas only came in smaller blooms, so I wired two together to look like one big hydrangea bud to match the pink. I don’t think you can tell at all!

Step 3 – Make The Bow

Once you have everything laid out on the wreath, you can decide how big you want your bow to be. Let me share this little nugget with you… I am NOT a bow tying person. I didn’t have a clue how to do it, and I tried to just purchanse a completed one. But I couldn’t find one I liked already tied for me at the store. And the ones I did find were crazy expensive.

I got brave and I watched this tutorial on YouTube on how to tie a bow and I have to say, it was actually shockingly easy. That’s right! I totally made it myself! I was so intimidated by bows and it was so simple! The lady in this video is using much more wide ribbon, but it didn’t matter a bit for the bow, it turned out just fine with ribbon I was using that was less wide. You do need the glue gun for part of the bow assembly.

Step 4 – Start Wiring Pieces to Wreath

Now you are ready to start wiring items to the wreath. To make sure I keep everything evenly spaced, I like to start filling in the items on opposite sides from each other. So I started with my two biggest items, The “W” initial and the bow. I wrapped some wire around the loops on the back of the “W” and then fished them all through the grapevine strands and tied them off to secure them.

For the bow placement, I wired a little bit of greenery together and wired it on the wreath opposite the “W” and then wired the bow to the wreath on top of the greenery. Now you have the two biggest components wired to the wreath and you can fill in the rest of the space with the flowers and filler greenery.

Step 5 – Continue Wiring Pieces…

Next, I filled in the flowers and greenery on the left side of the wreath between the bow and the “W.” I wired them to the wreath, just like the bow and “W.” I then moved to the right and filled in the flowers between the “W” and the bow there as well.

Step 6 – Fill In Bare Spots

Next, if there were any bare spots, I wired in a little more greenery and leaves from the flower stems. Make sure to not leave any holes where you can see wreath.

Step 7 – Hot Glue If Needed

If anything feels loose or just won’t quite stay where you want it to, hit it with the glue gun for a few spots of touch ups.

AND IT’S FINISHED!

And you are DONE! How easy was that? And how much do you feel like Martha Stewart right now?! (Well, minus the jail time…) Wasn’t that so easy??

I hung mine on the front door and I couldn’t be more pleased with it! It is the perfect spring wreath, and honestly, could easily hang well into summer too! I saved a little money making it on my own instead of buying one. Plus, I love to make crafty things, so my creative bucket was all filled up too!

Prep Time 15 minutes
Active Time 1 hour 30 minutes
Additional Time 1 hour
Total Time 2 hours 45 minutes
Difficulty Difficulty Level = Easy
Estimated Cost Estimated Cost = $40

Materials

  • 26-gauge wire - any color you like (it won't show)
  • Burlap Ribbon – Mine is 2.5 inches wide and has wired edges
  • Grapevine Wreath – 24 inches
  • 4-8 Large artificial flowers - I used hydrangeas because they are beautiful and big!
  • Long Sprigs of greenery – I used 2 sprigs
  • Monogram Letter – Mine is 7 inches tall and is galvanized metal

Tools

  • Wire Cutters
  • Hot Glue Gun

Instructions

  1. Gather all the supplies. Make sure everything seems to be in scale and a good size. You want your flowers and monogram letter to fit in nicely together on the wreath and not be out of balance because one is way bigger than the other.
  2. Go ahead and cut the stems off the flowers and arrange your wreath and get an idea of where all your supplies fit on the wreath. Arrange and re-arrange until you have everything where you want it to be and then take a picture with your phone, so you have a kind of "blue-print" to go back to as you wire everything down to the wreath.
  3. Make your bow for the wreath. Link in post for a tutorial video on how to tie a burlap bow.
  4. Start wiring your pieces to the wreath, starting with opposite sides. I put the bow on, and then the monogram letter, and then filled in the spaces. By filling in on opposite sides of the wreath with each addition, it keeps the look balanced and even.
  5. Once all your large pieces and flowers are wired down, fill in any bare spots with extra greenery.
  6. Use the hot glue gun to further tack any loose items down. I used quite a bit on my monogram letter.
  7. Let the glue set, and you are finished and ready to hang up your wreath!
