Petite Spring Wreath

Hello Picket Fencers!!! This is Angelina from JoJo and Eloise and I am so excited to be back here visiting with you again.

Spring! Spring!  It’s finally here and I couldn’t be happier!

Seriously, this has to the most beautiful time of year. The temperatures are just right, flowers are beginning to bloom, the birds are Sweetly Chirping and the colors couldn’t be anymore prettier.

This Adorable Petite Spring Wreath, I think encompasses all those things I just mentioned above. It is so precious and perfectly sweet in every way. 

I don’t know about you but it looks like, that Sweet Little Gingham bird built her nest right onto the wreath itself. I know if I was a little Bird my nest would look a lot like this one {Wink*} and how cute would it be, if we could look out of our windows and see these Adorable little Gingham birds flying all around! Or would that be a little weird?

Probably, huh!

Well enough of living in the world of Willy Wonka!

How about we get started on this Petite Spring Wreath Tutorial. All of my supplies for this project were purchased from Joann’s (Gingham Bird and all ) in the floral section.

I purchased 2 different types of Floral Stem Wire. I began by taking 2 stems of my cloth wire and twisted it together on both ends forming a circular shape.

I then took my paper covered stem wire and began twisting it around my already made circle. Once that was done I took another cloth stem wire and repeated the process again for a layered effect.

I wanted my wreath to have a nice soft look to it, so I lightly brushed a soft pale pink paint onto my wreath, leaving some of the wire still exposed for a worn and weathered look.

After you’re done painting your wreath you are going to set it aside to dry.

(Yeah, RIGHT?? If your anything like me, you NEVER wait for the paint to dry. I am inpatient like that. I have been known for hanging pictures on the wall even before the paint has fully dried, YIKES!!! ). So this would be the perfect time to say, “Do as I say and not as I Do”.)

Now comes the fun part!!

I took some of my flowers apart and began layering them onto my wreath. You can use a separate piece of stem wire and wrap it around your wreath and flowers to secure them to your wreath, you can also hot glue them to your or tuck them into the already existing wire. I did a little bit of all three. Have fun playing with the layers because there really is no Right or Wrong to whatever look or style you are wanting to achieve.

After you’re all done go ahead and Hang it on a door, display it somewhere in your house or give it away as a House Warming or Bridal Gift. (Just be sure the paint is fully dried)

And how adorably cute would it be to wear as a Head Wreath! Super Cute, Right??

This would make a great accessory to a little flower girls wedding attire.

Or even a Beautifully Sweet Crown for her special Birthday.

No matter how you choose to wear or display it, it is sure to be a hit!

So have fun with it and enjoy your new Petite Spring Wreath!!
