A Farmhouse Fall Hydrangea Wreath (DIY) ...

I considered making a cute acorn wreath for our front door this fall. But, there's something about the fullness and faded charm of a hydrangea wreath that I couldn't pass up! In case you're interested in making one, you only need three things...


1. Dried hydrangeas (see the best ways to dry them here!)
2. A straw wreath form 
3. Greenery pins 



Using your greenery pins, pin the hydrangea stems - one at a time - onto your straw wreath form. Continue until you have the desired fullness and/or until the straw wreath form is no longer visible.


This is the quickest and easiest wreath I've made. I also think it may be the prettiest. 

It costs about $8 to make (for the wreath form and pins). Can you imagine what you'd pay for a large wreath like this at a florist or gift shop?!


Last year, I also made a hydrangea wreath, but added antlers. See it here.

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you are having a wonderful day...

  1. Your wreath is lovely.

    I wish my hydrangeas would bloom so I could dry them.

  7. That is such a pretty wreath! It's even better that you were able to make it yourself. I rarely place anything on my front door since I have leaded glass on mine and I hate to cover it up.

    1. Thanks so much! I found the home sweet home sign at the Farm Chicks Show last year. I wish I could remember the vendor... I've tried to find them with no luck. Sorry! The material is similar to drop cloth... you could always try to make one!
