How to Decorate a Beaded Wreath for Spring

We are nearing the halfway point between winter and spring so today I’m sharing an easy way to decorate a simple beaded wreath for the upcoming season.

Valentine’s Day is always the point that I feel it’s acceptable to begin my spring projects.  I know there will be many days of snowfall ahead but it finally feels like spring is coming.  

I have decided to switch up the look of my spring ladder this year and my vision includes a simple beaded wreath.  I’m sharing that project with you today. 

Pretty in Pink

First, let me just say that I am not a “pink” person.  To be honest, it’s my least favorite color.  However, I make an exception for the pastel pinks of the spring season. This time of year, mixed in with a lot of spring greenery, it’s just so pretty! So with my decorating scheme in mind, I chose a combination of pink and purple flowers for this wreath.

Tip: As with any wreath, it is never permanent to me.  I will use my glue gun sparingly in favor of wire since it is much easier to remove down the road.

Supplies

• 14 inch beaded hoop
• 10-12 stems or 1-2 spring sprays
• 3 or 4 larger faux flowers
• floral wire
• ribbon
• wire cutters
• scissors
• bakers twine
• glue gun
• hole punch
• mini clothespins
• spring printable (see below)

Instructions

Step 1 – Download and print the Spring Banner Printable below. Cut out each letter and set aside. I’ve included two extra banner pieces with the background flowers. On a 14 inch wreath, the letters are enough. If you use a 16-18 inch, you can add the two floral pieces to extend the banner.

Step 2 – Cut the stems leaving 3 to 4 inches to work with. Arrange them into 3 bunches and wire each bunch together. Leave a tail long enough to attach to the hoop.

Step 3 – Place the bunches on the wreath overlapping each other and attach them directly to the metal hoop between the beads.

Step 4 – With your glue gun, attach a peony, rose, or any larger flower to cover each point where the bunches are wired to the wreath. Be sure to glue the flower directly onto the stems instead of the beads should you decide to change it in the future.

Step 5 – Measure a piece of the bakers twine stretched across the wreath diagonally with an extra 3 inches on each end. Attach it tightly with a double knot between the beads on each side. Use the extra to tie a bow on each side.

Step 6 – Punch a hole at the top of each letter and attach them with the clothespins to the twine.

Step 7 – Add a bow or any finishing touches you’d like. Then… enjoy it!

I’ve designated mine as a decoration for my spring ladder and I’ll be sharing that soon. It looks just as pretty on a wreath stand or hung on a door as well.

Supply Links

I purchased my beaded wreath a few years ago at Hobby Lobby. However, I’ve linked a similar one below along with the other supplies you’ll need.

With my bottomless craft bins, the flowers I used today were part of the collection I store there. I’ve linked a few picks and sprays below that would work well on a beaded wreath if your craft bin is bare!
