No Cost Hydrangea Wreath

September 23, 2015 By Vidya 3 Comments

No Cost Hydrangea Wreath

Happy first day of Fall! With all that has happened lately around here I was in no mood to decorate for the season but every time I pull up the driveway my eyes fall on the bright Summer wreath, which was actually my Spring wreath minus the Easter eggs plus some bright flowers, on my front door. With the cooler weather approaching that definitely looked out of place and finally yesterday I had enough! I took the wreath down and went on a mission around the house looking for things to update it with.

Goal #1 –Not to spend an extra penny on my Fall wreath

Goal #2 – Keep it simple

No Cost Hydrangea Wreath

Yes, I managed to make this beauty by reusing the grape vine wreath and some picks from my yard; the Hydrangeas that are wilting away and Rose and Black-eyed Susan seed pods!

Who would have thought things from your yard can make for such wonderful decor? Scratch that, I have done it previously with the dried crepe myrtle and day lily seed pods but not to this level! On a different note, did you see that front door paint color? Still as fresh as a year ago when we re-painted it!

To make this Hydrangea wreath you need;

Materials

  • Grape wine wreath
  • Dried/ Almost dried Hydrangeas (I just picked them off the bush)
  • Rose seed pods
  • Black-eyed Susan seed pods
  • Floral wire
  • Hair spray
  • Scissors

Method

  • Remove all the leaves from the flower stalks.
  • Cut the stems so that they are tall enough to be inserted into the grape wine wreath.

  • Gently insert each Hydrangea stem into the wreath until you cover the entire shape. You can use floral wire to secure any stems that are loose.
  • Insert the Rose and Black-eyed Susan seed pods at about 2 inches apart around the wreath.

  • Step back, assess the shape, and add more Hydrangea stalks to make a full and even shape.
  • Liberally spray hair spray. This will reduce the amount of fly always as the Hydrangeas dry on the wreath.

Finally the long overdue post, our new screened in porch reveal. This space has undoubtedly become our favorite room in the house now. To tell you the truth, I was against the idea of ripping apart our good size deck and replacing it with a screened in porch but B insisted that this was the…
