Easy Ideas for Spring Wreaths

With spring season coming right around the corner and warmer weather approaching, it's time to brighten up your front porch. What better way to add curb appeal than with a front door wreath for spring time? Create the perfect addition for your spring decor with these easy and beautiful options for how to make spring wreaths.

Artificial Flower Wreaths

An easy option for unique spring wreath ideas is using artificial flowers. A popular spring flower wreath can be a lavender wreath, a wildflower wreath, or a wreath with tulip flowers. You can purchase a plain wreath for lower cost, then embellish it with new decor for each new season. Find faux flowers at places like Dollar Tree or Hobby Lobby for low cost and weave them into a green wreath or wreath with branches.

TIP: Not enough space on your front door? I placed my tulip wreath on a sign as an art backdrop for our bench nook. This is a fun and festive way to add a little more decor to your space if you don't have space around your front door.

If making a faux flower wreath is something you don't have time to do, you can find several online or in store for decent pricing.

Here are some of my favorite floral spring wreaths online.

DIY Boxwood Spring Wreath for Front Door

A beautiful wreath like a boxwood is always in style. These are a classic trend that you can fall back on if you aren't sure what you like. See my wreath tutorial for how to make and preserve a boxwood wreath.

Now if you prefer to use faux boxwood branches, you can do that too! And if you are looking for a little variety in your pretty spring wreaths, try adding eucalyptus, lavender stems or white berry branches. A boxwood wreath is an excellent choice for homemade Easter wreath ideas because it gives you a good base for adding spring flowers or faux eggs or ribbon.

TIP: As an alternative to hanging on your front door, you can also hang a wreath on a frame like this lovely spring boxwood wreath hanging on a gold frame.

DIY Coffee Filter Wreath With Ribbons

One of my favorite spring crafts is making a coffee filter wreath. This is a popular spring wreath idea of 2023. If you do not want a colorful spring wreath, but still prefer something classy and neutral, then this wreath is for you.

This DIY wreath is super simple and definitely worth it to make on your own to avoid the outrageous cost in-store. However, it is a little bit time consuming and requires a whole lot of patience.

Supplies for Making a Filter Wreath

• 1500 Coffee filters between the 2 wreaths
• 17" craft wreath - Wreath size is important so you get a nice big wreath.
• Hot glue gun
• Hot glue
• Pencil
• Ribbon

You can easily find these supplies at your local dollar store. Coffee filters are a pretty thrifty craft supply to use in your spring wreaths DIY. Turn on your favorite show and get ready for this cute wreath that is perfect for any skill level.

How to Make a Spring Coffee Filter Wreath

1. Center Your Pencil in a Coffee Filter

The first step to making this wreath is to take a pencil and center it in the middle of the coffee filter with the eraser side face down into the filter. Push the sides of the filter up onto the pencil.

2. Add Hot Glue

Take your hot glue gun and add a small glob of hot glue onto the pencil with the filter on the end. Immediately stick the filter onto the foam wreath form and press down.

3. Place Filters in a Tight Formation

Now listen up - because this next tip is very important as you move forward and proceed to glue on more of the filters. In order to get coffee filters in there nice and snug for a tight look, you need to put the filters as close to one another as you can.

Lift the edges of the filters you have already glued down and place the new filter right next to the last one you glued on. This is why the process takes forever, but believe me it is so worth it.

Pro tip: A great way to speed up the process is by working on two sides of your wreath. Hot glue needs time to dry. Instead of waiting for it to dry before adding another filter, you can simply alternate sides. Place a row on one side and then do the same thing on the next side. This will help to move much faster.

Continue to add coffee filters to your wreath until it is completely covered on the front and sides. Everything should be tight and bunched together. You will leave the back open.

A this stage you can leave your filter wreath as is, white and beautiful. But if you are like me, you can add in some bright colors or a neutral palette to make that lovely wreath pop even more.

4. Add Ribbon for a Spring Wreath

My favorite part of a coffee filter wreath is adding a selection of ribbon to make a beautiful spring ribbon wreath. But this trick is not limited to coffee filter wreaths. Add ribbon to your green wreaths or solid color wreaths too.

Wreath hack - instead of purchasing a new wreath each season, keep your same wreath and then change it up by swapping out your ribbon decor instead. This is so much cheaper!

Cut a variety of ribbon strands for this step. You can choose to have a colorful wreath or pick neutral tones. I use roughly 10 to 12 different types of ribbon, depending on the style that I am going for. You can mix sizes and textures as well. Make each strand approximately 3 ft long because it will be folded in half.

5. Attaching the Ribbon

Bundle all the ribbon strands together and tie twine in the center of the ribbon. Make sure to have long tails remaining on the twine. This is what will be used to make the loop for hanging the ribbon.

Tie a knot to make the loop. Nothing fancy here. The easiest way I found to attach the ribbon to the wreath is to hook the ribbon on the wreath hanger as well. This makes it so much easier to change out for different holidays or seasons.

These ribbons add the perfect touch of spring colors to this gorgeous wreath. If traditional floral wreaths are not your style, try out this unique spring wreath made out of coffee filters! Coffee filter wreaths are easy spring wreaths to make with only a few supplies.

Wood Bead Spring Wreath

Another spring wreath for your front door DIY is a homemade wooden bead spring wreath. This one is neutral but can also be customized or painted to however you like. I have an example below of how I made it using fall grass and pumpkins. However, the fall adornments can easily be swapped out and made with a selection of green grass and colorful florals.

TIP: Another place to hang this beautiful spring craft can also be above your range or on a solid wall in your kitchen. This helps to bring a little bit of spring decor to your interior.
