Update a greenery wreath for Spring with faux tulips, for a no or low
commitment timesaving DIY wreath that will brighten your front door!
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!
Hey friend, welcome! We are no strangers to a good budget-friendly DIY wreath
over here, here are a few of our favorites:
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.

Pinterest Challenge
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
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
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!
Here’s what I used to make my easy and fast tulip wreath. These
faux tulips
are from Amazon, and so lifelike! I have them in three different colors. You get
30 tulips, which is plenty of tulips to decorate with!

Make tulip bundles
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.
I opted to attach 4 sets of 3 tulips along the bottom and sides, leaving
the bow area free of flowers. You could certainly wire in another few tulips if
you wanted to.
