~ An Easy Hops Farmhouse Wreath for Fall ~


 This post contains affiliate links.

I've been eyeing our hops flowers, with their whimsical cone shapes, wondering how I could use them to decorate this fall. 

I decided on making a wreath for our rustic chicken coop. Nothing too tailored, but rather true to this plant's free spirit...

I started with a Natural Grapevine Wreath - 18".


I cut varying lengths of the vines with hops flowers and simply tucked the stems into the wreath. I used a few Greening Pins 1.75" to help secure the vines. I let some of the vines hang freely to give the wreath more of a romantic feel.



Because sometimes even the most rustic coop feels like dressing up. ;)


I shared the picture below of our garden gate and arbor covered with hops vines on Instagram. If you'd like to grow your own beautiful hops, you can purchase a Centennial Hops Vine - Humulus - 2.5" Pot . In the Pacific Northwest, where we live, hops grows well.


Thank you for visiting today!

  2. Your wreath is so pretty! I just love it! I'll have to see if hops grow well in Texas (I'm guessing, no) :)

    1. Thank you Lisa! Hope it grows there too... but we have very different climates, don't we?
