Wreaths are a lot like pillows - you can never have too
many....until...well, until you have too many!
If you love seasonal decor but, like me, find yourself out of storage space, this easy tulip wreath is a great solution! Read on and I'll show you how to make a temporary Spring wreath!

Saving money by making your own wreaths is a low-cost way to great seasonal
decor, and it doesn't have to be difficult! Especially when we're talking
about seasonal decor that is only on display for a short time.
Today is Pinterest Challenge day! A whole team of us is showing you how to
make a tulip wreath, so you're in for a lot of inspiration. Thanks to my funny
and friendly buddy

If you're new here, or hopped over from the talented
Christy at Our Southern Home, first of all welcome! Christy's Spring tulip basket is so cute! The way
this works is Cindy picks an inspiration idea from Pinterest and then we all
put our own spin on it. Sometimes money is involved, but it's not required,
and most of us try to use what we already have around the house.
Let's jump right in with the inspiration image, which comes from Kristy at Chatfield Court. Wow, right! Kristy's stunning front door tulip wreath is amazing. She used 13 bunches of pink tulips that she found for a crazy amazing deal of only $2/bunch! She has a great trick of attaching the tulips to the wreath form that uses no glue or wire, click the link above to read all about it.
The Easiest DIY Tulip Wreath for Spring
I would have loved to make a wreath entirely out of tulips as Kristy did;
however, I don't have the space to store yet another wreath (Mr DIY would
enthusiastically agree 😉). I did spot
bunches of tulips for only $1.99 at Michaels
this week, so that would be an affordable way to go if you have the space and
want a really full tulip wreath without taking out a second mortgage!
My tulip wreath is temporary for Spring. It satisfies my need for that
seasonal pop of Spring color with pretty pink tulips, and it's so easy to do,
and so easy to un-do!
Start with a base
Last year I made a jumbo sized boxwood wreath using a piece of grapevine and
several sprigs of boxwood that I wired into the wreath form. In fact, I shared
my
oversized boxwood wreath
for a different Pinterest Challenge!
You might want to try that, or you can use any greenery wreath that you might
already own. Below you can see a normal, store-bought 14" wreath on the right
as well as my DIY oversized boxwood wreath. It's a biggie and I love using it
on my 9-foot front door because it makes a statement! However, either one
would work!
Make tulip bundles
To make my temporary tulip wreath for Spring, I simply wired small
bunches of tulips to the existing greenery wreath. I used bundles of 3 tulips,
and
green floral wire
that virtually disappears.
I tried using larger bundles of tulips, but it was more difficult to get them
to stay in place. Three seemed to be the magic number!
The back of the wreath shows the placement of the tulip stems. Each bundle of
tulips needed to be wired in a couple of places to hold them securely to the
wreath.
I had my handmade Spring wreath put together in just a few minutes and hung it
up on the antique chippy window above my coffee bar.

Pin to Save
bringing beauty to the ordinary,
This is such a darling wreath. I loved the soft greens paired with the tulips.
ReplyDeleteThank you Laura, I'm excited to see all the variations!!
DeleteLove how you added the tulips in small bunches around the wreath. So beautiful and your tulips are fabulous. Such a pretty wreath.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
DeleteThis looks amazing, Cindy! I love how you can repurpose so many different parts of this wreath. Our attic is TINY so it's hard to store a lot of extra seasonal decorations year after year. This feels like being able to have the best of both worlds though. It's gorgeous! Hugs, CoCo
ReplyDeleteThanks CoCo, I'm having to be intentional about what I keep and yes this is the best of both worlds!
DeleteYour wreath turned out so pretty, Cindy! I love to repurpose what I have, too. Here's to an early spring!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kim! Spring has already spring here in MS 😉
DeleteGreat quick seasonal accent idea, Cindy!
ReplyDeleteUpdating a wreath is so smart Cindy! I just love the pop of the dark pink tulips with the greenery! Looks so pretty displayed on your window frame too!
ReplyDeleteThank you Michelle, this was a fun challenge!
DeleteSo pretty. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThe deeper colors are so soothing and look beautiful together! Love it! Glad you could make it this month. Great inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cindy, all the wreath ideas are so beautiful and unique!
DeleteCindy, I LOVE your spring wreath. It is perfect for your coffee bar. The color of the tulips is so pretty. I really like the way you scattered bundles of them which caused you to use fewer tulips. Such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThank you Christy!
DeleteOh, how pretty, Cindy! I love the way you spaced the tulips around the wreath. It came together beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThanks Niky, this was a fun challenge!
DeleteWhat a great way to get a lot of bang for your buck with this wreath, Cindy. Boxwood wreaths are great for changing out for different seasons. The pink color really pops against the green. Showcasing the wreath on the vintage window is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteThis spring tulip wreath is AMAZING... and looks real! Those tulips were a really good find! So well done.
