Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking. (Said in my best Miranda Priestly voice...)

Florals might not be the most earth-shattering idea for springtime, but what if we put a Halloween spin on them? I’m doing exactly that today with my DIY springoween floral wreath.
But first, the pre-instruction story: my front door needed a little refresh for spring this year, so I set off to Michaels fully intending to buy something pre-made. But as I was standing in the seasonal aisles (dreaming of them being full of Halloween instead of florals), I noticed a floral wreath frame shaped like a crescent moon, and ideas started bubbling in my head…
I usually prefer DIY to store-bought crafts. There’s just something special about a piece of decor you’ve made yourself. So I grabbed the moon wreath frame, some flowers and headed home to make this:

And I loved it SO much, that I decided I needed a springoween version too.

How to make a Springoween Floral Wreath

Supplies:
- Purple florals (2-3 varieties)
- Orange florals (2-3 varieties)
- Wreath frame (what I used)
- Floral wire
- Wire cutters
- Ribbon

How to make your wreath:
The nice thing about this DIY is it is relatively easy to make, it just takes a little time. So put on your favorite Halloween or horror movie (might I suggest Midsommar for this particular DIY?), and get to work!

Step 1: Pull the largest florals you want in your wreath and place those first. I recommend using an odd number. Use your wire cutters to clip single stems (having 3-4 inches of stem to attach to the wreath is perfect).

Step 2: Bend the wire at the top of the stem behind the flower to a 90-degree angle. You can do this by hand or use a small pair of needle-nose pliers.
This will help hold your flower in place when we attach it to the wreath frame and keep your flowers facing up on the wreath when it’s done.

Step 3: Thread the flower stem through a hole in your wreath frame, then line up the stem with a line on the wreath frame. We’ll wrap the stem to the line in the mesh to keep things secure.
Cut 5-6 inches of floral wire, and use one end to attach the flower stem to the wreath frame just behind the flower.

Step 4: Then wrap the floral wire around the stem and mesh line all the way down. If you have any extra floral wire when you get to the end of the stem, just trim it. Be sure to flatten down the end of the wire so it doesn’t poke out. (Those ends can be sharp – I have the scratches from this DIY to prove it.)

Step 5: Then repeat by filling in with all the different types of flowers you have until your wreath looks something like…

…this!
Step 6: Cut 8 inches of a color-coordinating ribbon and tie into the mesh section of the frame, then hang it up!

And enjoy all springoween!
Tips:
- Find different types of florals to mix up your textures and colors in the wreath.
- You can include the greenery if it slides up and down the stem to add color and texture to your wreath. If you don’t like them, leave them off!
- Odd numbers and asymmetry are your friends with projects like this. It will make the final product look more natural and creative.
- Don’t like something? Take it off and do it again! It’s a bit of a pain to unwrap the floral wire once you’ve attached a flower, but it can be done if you want to move things around a bit.

Splendidly pretty wreath! Love the upbeat hues and, of course, that sensational crescent moon shape. I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled to see if the Michael’s shops in our corner of Canada are stocking them, too.

PS: I’ve found that small twist ties or pieces of pipe cleaner (not ones that shed though!) can be handy as a temporary, fairly quick way to arrange wreath elements until you’re certain on their final placement.
